RateBeer World's Best is widely regarded as a top three beer event in the world. Pulling in ticket buyers from nine countries and brewers from over a dozen different countries last year, and with a face-melting beer list from the world's most sought after breweries, RateBeer Best 2016 was a best-in-a-lifetime beer experience for most of those who attended. This year will add more sessions, an extended two-hour VIP festival session, more supporting events for tourists, and another ridiculously awesome assortment of world class brewers.
The event takes place in scenic Sonoma County, California where the average high is 61F/16C and low is 41F/5C. Tourist options include hiking the rugged coastline, rivers and mountains, wine tasting, artisan cheese tours, fine dining, and geothermic geysers and spas. Out of state visitors may wish to take advantage of our proximity to San Francisco, excursions to our beaches & redwood forests, nearby wine tasting and spas, skiing in Tahoe, and uncrowded winter visits to Yosemite National Park.
