These beers rank highest on the hopIQ Score — a nightly-updated weighting of style authenticity, award history, and community signals. Filter by style family or country to narrow the list; the top-3 podium and full ranking below always reflect the current day’s data.
How this ranking works
The hopIQ Score judges every beer against its style first: it rewards medals from competitions that judge within style categories and deducts points where a beer measurably deviates from its style reference. Community ratings add to that. Non-alcoholic excluded. No paid placement — order follows the data alone. Ranking spans 247 beers from 153 breweries.
