This exceptional collection showcases a rich tapestry of flavours, styles, and brewing traditions from around the globe. From the venerable Trappistes Rochefort 10, a beloved Abt/Quadrupel from Belgium, to Way of the TIPA, hailing from Finland’s Mallassepät brewery, each beer on this esteemed list offers a unique sensory experience. Belgium is the king of these stronger beers. It’s hard to push Rochefort 10 from the number one position.
As a testament to our commitment to collaboration, we worked alongside Mallassepät to create the Pint Please Double NEIPA, which proudly claims the 18th spot on this esteemed list. We take great pride in our transparency and assure you that we do not manipulate the statistics in any way.
If you are a brewery interested in joining forces for a collaboration beer based on the invaluable insights garnered from millions of beer reviews, we would be thrilled to explore the possibilities together. Let us know, and together, we can create something truly exceptional.
