Epic was ranked 3rd out of 100 new breweries in RateBeer's world-wide competition, behind Hill Farmstead Brewery in Greensboro, VT and Stillwater Artisanal Ales, in Baltimore, MD.

Epic and the other winners in the "new brewery" category are the "ones to watch in the coming years," said RateBeer's Executive Director Joe Tucker
