Nice to see The Netherlands high in the list! We’re doing great for such a small country :-)

I seem to recall looking into this a few years back and it was around the time that England, which I obviously follow more closely than others, hit the 1,000 mark - whereby you needed 1,000 rates in order to enter it’s top 50 rater list.

At that point in time 3 other countries were harder to get into the top 50 of, no surprises ... USA, Canada and Denmark.

The top 4 is still in the same order although England has definately made significant ground on Denmark and Canada ... I think we’ve had quite a few raters coming through or becoming more active in recent years.

These 4 now all require 2,000+ rates to penetrate the top 50.

The next block of countries are not surprising apart from perhaps the last... Poland !

A lot had been said about the booming craft beer scene there, this is now backed up by the number of active raters so it seems and Poland has dumped Belgium out of the top 10 hardest to get into top 50 rater lists !

Here’s the top ten in full ... if I’ve missed one don’t shout ... no one is paying me for this it’s just a shit night on TV!!!

Rates required to get into the top 50 raters list ...

1.) USA 6461
2.) Canada 2440
3.) Denmark 2175
4.) England 2029
5.) Sweden 1210
6.) Netherlands 1053
7.) Norway 739
8.) Finland 545
9.) Germany 449
10.) Poland 334

Nice juan Cloin, I remember when I broke into the top 50 it was around a 1000.


I entered the top 50 around September/October ’12 and the entry requirement then was about 725.

Basically whatever Gazza is on as he was 50th at the time!

It’ll be a while before I get to the England top 50. I just can’t keep up with the top guys!

I cant keep up either I try something like 75 ’ish’ beers a month however as I mentioned on another thread that isn’t really enough to stay anywhere near the top guys, I am gradually slipping down the Top 100 but I don’t wish to up my pace as I am comfortable rating at my current level.
