Attention bar owners: When the beer geeks like you, you know you've done something right. In the latest issue of Beer Advocate, the beloved beer bible mentioned Minneapolis' own Stub & Herb's on its list of 25 Top Places to Have a Pint. The 70-year-old pub was ranked No. 12 and was the only Minnesota bar on the international list.

In 2007, Stub & Herb's broke out of its college bar trappings by going full throttle with its dedication to local and rare beers.

The Beer Advocate issue also included lists for the Most-Wanted Beers and the All-Time Top Beers on Planet Earth. Surly Darkness and the Town Hall Brewery's Masala Mama India Pale Ale were ranked on both of those lists.

The lists were compiled from more than one million member reviews on www.beeradvocate.com.
