, UNITED STATES -

RateBeer.com is pleased to announce the results of its fourth semi-annual world beer competition, RateBeer Best, Winter 2004. RateBeer Best is once again the world's largest beer competition -- over 28,000 different beers from over 4000 brewers in 120 different countries are listed in our database. Over one quarter million ratings from beer lovers the world over were tabulated to determine the results.

The judging was done by thousands of amateur beer enthusiasts from 65 countries around the world with America's beers being most rated. Several of the world's most avid amateur beer enthusiasts participated in the contest including
Per Samuelsson (Sweden), Josh Oakes (Canada), Philippe Corbat(Switzerland), Joe Marjancik (Arizona, USA) and Scott Johnson (New York, USA). Because of their amateur status there are no minced words in the reviews -- beers were rated frankly and freely and with commercial samples.

We've done this all for love of beer and we've chosen the only the very best beers and brewers in the world for recognition. We hope our committment to quality has paid off by listing what we firmly believe to be the finest beers available in the world. Congratulations to all those recognized for their achievements in the craft of brewing.

Sincerely,

Joe Tucker, Executive Director
