VinePair, a respected voice for wine and spirits enthusiasts across the country, set out to determine America’s favorite beers by analyzing Beer Advocate’s top rated breweries in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Using this data driven approach, they highlighted the highest rated beer in each state based on consumer reviews and rankings.


For the fifth consecutive year, Forager Brewery has earned the distinction of producing the highest rated beer in Minnesota.


Forager Brewery Highest Rated Beer in Minnesota

Nillerzzzzz continues to stand out for its depth, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. This limited barrel-aged stout is released in a new variation each year, creating anticipation with every vintage. Each release features freshly scraped vanilla bean caviar sourced from five distinct growing regions, with each origin represented by a Z in the name. It is a subtle nod to the layers of flavor and care that go into every batch.



“We’re incredibly grateful for this recognition and for the beer community that continues to support what we do,” says Annie Henderson, owner of Forager Brewery. “It’s their enthusiasm that inspires us to keep experimenting, refining, and creating beers we’re proud to share.”


Being recognized five years in a row is something we are truly thankful for. More than anything, it reflects the support of our community and the dedication of our team behind the scenes. We are honored to keep brewing and sharing these moments with you. Cheers. 🍻
