There must be a lot of American reviewers on that site. While there are some great little microbrews in the states, there's no way that so many of those beers actually stack up against what you have in Europe.
I also think it's totally normal for a small select group of countries to be represented. Everyone has their speciality, it makes sense that you see countries with a rich beer history excelling over those who are new to the game.

I now have an aversion to Czech beer from drinking so much Urquell, the real Budveiser and various other pilsner. They're strong but not that tasty. No doubt the best beers in the world are Belgian and German but I think Canada ranks pretty highly, I'd say top 5 in the world easily. We have some delicious beers.
I tried some US beers when I was down in the States last month and found them to be grossly overrated. Especially the chocolate stout from Rouge. It was not chocolately at all or very good. They also had 6 different pumpkin ales, of which only one tasted like pumpkin and was drinkable. The rest were nasty. I get the US has a gigantic microbrewery culture in certain cities but for the gems like Lagunitas IPA, there are 10 bad ones.
For the record, Quebec makes Canada's best beer. I love Unibroue, my favourite brewery on earth! Vive le Canada!
