How we rank
City and state pages sort breweries for browsing. The rules below are exactly what the site code does.
Default order on city pages
On a city page the default sort is most reviewed: higher Google review counts appear first. You can switch to highest rated (among places that show a rating) or A to Z.
State highlights
The "Most reviewed in [state]" row is the six publishable places in that state with the highest review counts on record. Home page "Most reviewed" uses the same review count, limited to places at 4.6 stars or higher with a rating shown.
Ratings on cards
Cards show a star rating only when the record has at least 4.0 stars and at least one review. Lower ratings are omitted rather than shown.
Paid placement
Sponsored slots, if we ever run them, sit above the list and are labelled. They do not change the sort order described here.
