Top New Brewers In The World 2012

These are the top brewers who started collecting their first ratings after December 31, 2010. Considering there were 1473 new world wide brewers registered in 2011 at RateBeer, these five are a very elite bunch. For comparison, the entire Great American Beer Festival -- the next largest beer contest after RateBeer -- hosted only 469 brewers in total. Congratulations all!
