My average ratings have increased slightly over the years as I hone in more on the types that I enjoy. It’s possible to make any style terrible or great. Inside each category, I generally find both a 1 and a 5. Here is a breakdown of the different styles of beer (where I’ve had at least 10 of them) and the average rating for each one. Those dominate my fridge these days with New England style IPAs being my absolute favorite. I started off enjoying mostly ambers and ESBs, but I’ve developed a strong taste for IPAs. Overall my ratings follow a pretty normal distribution, skewed slightly toward the higher end which makes sense because I generally drink beers that I think I’ll like. I couldn’t even get through my taster of it. One is Bud Light Lime and another is some disgusting jalapeno beer that I had at the beer festival. If you hand me this, I’ll drink it but I won’t pay money for it.ġ. I devote three values to fairly good beers and only two to the beers I don’t like as much.Ĥ. Untappd has added more and more stops along their scoring slider but I stick to the whole numbers. (Many other friends and family members have joined as well but this chart just shows the top users that I know.) Ben (blue), Luke (purple), Dad (red), Logan (green) Logan joined later but he’s off to a good start.


2019 was more like 2 every three days as I got closer and closer to the 1000 mark.ĭecember is the month when I try the most new beers which makes sense because I have family members who enjoy craft beer too so we regularly bring new beer to family gatherings.ĭad jumped on the app early on and then Luke joined too. Other than the first year when I was just getting into this, I average about one new beer every three days. Recently, I tried my 1000th different beer, so I thought I’d share some thoughts and stats from my tour de beer. Since then, I’ve rode the wave of the growing craft beer scene and continued to sample new beers whenever I have the chance. In early 2013, I signed up for Untappd and rated my first beer in the app: Fat Tire.
