KALAMAZOO, MI -- Several Michigan-made specialty craft beers have landed on RateBeer.com's annual list of the 100 best beers in the world.

The beers that made the list range from the very highly sought after Founders Brewing Co.'s Canadian Breakfast Stout, a limited-release Imperial Stout, to the wildly popular Bell's Brewery Inc.'s Hopslam Ale, a Double India Pale Ale.

The beers that made the list are:

Bell's Black Note Stout

Bell's Expedition Stout

Bell's Hopslam Ale

Dark Horse Brewing Co.'s Bourbon Barrel Plead the 5th Imperial Stout

Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout

Founders Backwoods Bastard

Founders Breakfast Stout

Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout

The website annually ranks the best beer, breweries and retailers in the craft beer industry.

In several other RateBeer.com lists released recently, Bell's was recognized as the top brewer in Michigan.

RateBeer.com also named the best Michigan brewpubs, bars and retail locations to buy a beer.

The website named Kalamazoo Beer Exchange as the best craft beer bar in Michigan for the third year in a row. It named HopCat as Michigan's best brewpub, Slow's Bar BQ as Michigan's best restaurant for craft beer, Founders Brewing Co. as Michigan's best brewer tap room, Champane's Wine Cellars as Michigan's best bottle shop and Siciliano's Specialty Market as Michigan's best grocery.

In 2014, the website named Bell's Two Hearted Ale as the best IPA in the world. This year, the ale came in 13th in that category. Michigan had several strong showings in the beers by style lists. Founders' Dissenter was named the fourth best bock or strong lager, Kuhnhenn Brewing's Raspberry Eisbock was named the fourth best specialty beer and Bell's Hopslam was named the fourth best Double India Pale Ale.
