    When reviewing a beer, I like to see where it falls relative to my other reviews. ("Did I like this beer better than xyz?"). But then I might be comparing a Scotch Ale to a DIPA, or a Stout to the adjacent Barleywine. It would improve the accuracy of my numerical reviews (and be more fair to the brewery) if it were possible to get a list of my reviews of that style.

    I know that I can click on the style and be informed "You've had X beers within this style", but then I have to scroll down and find all of them. It would be awesome if there were a way to click on "you've had..." and get a sub-list of just the beers that I've reviewed within that style.

    I like it. You can reorganize the beer and place lists by various categories by clicking on the category like rating or ABV. There is a column with red check marks, if it was just made sort-able, it'd be do-able! It'd be nice to see what I like in a particular style vs. another style.

    It would be great to be able to download a list of your reviewed beers, the brewery, the style, date of your review, and scores, in a CSV file. Then you can pull it into a spreadsheet and have your way with it.

    Seconded. I once tried to move my beers into a spreadsheet, but gave up after about 50.

    I like it, I regularly look at the style lists and would love this feature.

    Agree, I wish I could see all the beers I have reviewed within a style or even a state. Hopefully BA will try to work on this.

    You can go to "Your Beers" under the Beers tab, and click on the blue 'Style' at the top of your rated beers, and then find the style you're looking for and scroll through your ratings for beers in that style.

    Damn you and your logic!! I would like to list my hands by style and rating though.

    i'm in a fantasy football league which we take very seriously. live draft, actual trophy, loser punishment, etc.

    one of my best friends does the google spreadsheet doc for our league, he tracks nearly EVERYTHING. and we've had the league for roughly 5 years now so we have crazy metrics; ahh the joy of having engineering friends.

    with that being said, all it takes is will because there is a way. Excel/google doc is a crazy thing
