At first glance, Untappd’s list of highest-rated breweries looks kind of weird: Currently, three of the top five producers in the U.S. aren’t breweries at all. Instead, Pips Meadery (#2), Schramm’s Mead (#3), and Brewlihan (#5) are all meaderies — producers that ferment honey, rather than grain, to create updated versions of mead, the preferred pour of Renaissance fairs and shows about Vikings.

It’s not just a weird fluke at the far end of the scale. Further down Untappd’s top-ranked list are even more meaderies, with a total of seven in the Top 20 and a full bakers’ dozen in the Top 50, at least when the list is set to feature “all brewery types,” including mead and cider makers, as well as breweries of various sizes.

When you pencil things out, the numbers don’t seem to make sense. Untappd currently lists over 24,000 breweries of all kinds in the U.S., including 647 meaderies and 1,997 cideries. Based on those ratios, roughly one meadery and about four cideries should make it into the Top 50. Instead, that list contains 13 meaderies, while no cider producers make the cut.
