    So…if that is an artificially generated beer (image)…would it be classified as an adjunct ?

    Some useless data:

    I think between all of us we have reviewed beer from 3,271 breweries. 39,551 ratings/reviews overall. 24,985 unique beers.

    Most popular beers, reviewed by 14/16 BIFers:
    • Ayinger Privatbrauerei - Ayinger Oktober Fest-Märzen
    • Ayinger Privatbrauerei - Celebrator
    • Goose Island Beer Co. - Bourbon County Brand Stout
    • Toppling Goliath Brewing Company - Pseudo Sue
    Tree House is the most commonly reviewed brewery -- 678 ratings/reviews of their beer; 356 unique beers reviewed by us. Very Green is the most common, rated/reviewed by 10 of us.

    As usual, I'll take requests if there's something someone wants me to figure out, though I can't guarantee I can actually figure it out.

    The Tree House data astounds me - Sierra Nevada isn’t the most commonly reviewed? Tree House isn’t REALLY hard to get, but it takes some effort if you don’t live in New England.

    Sierra Nevada, OTOH, is served in vending machines outside of every McDonalds in the country.

    I kid. A little. But I’m flummoxed that TH is our most reviewed brewery. This group continues to astound me.

    Hint #2: One of the breweries referenced in my previous haul hint has a mascot (of sorts), a version of which (of sorts), can be found in my target's home state.

    Surprised me, too! Sierra Nevada's at 624 total reviews, of 186 unique beers. Most common, of course, is SNPA, reviewed by 13 of us.

    That's probably due to certain individuals in this BIF carpet bombing porches with TH beers.

    NBW BIF #16 is closed so this goes here as it is related to an LIF from that BIF.
    So @BigIronH sent me a beer or 11 from a brewery that I have had (Looking at you Giant Slayer) before but never rated. So 10 new beers for me (One is a duplicate)
    The biggest surprise for me it the number of Belgian styles in the mix. I think 5 or 6 of them are Belgian and a couple more German styles. (As best I can make out the writing and comparing to their beer list)
    Thank you Harley! I will enjoy every one of these and finally review Giant Slayer!

    It's rather funny in retrospect, but I had a lot of Arkansas boar "stuff" for a while because of my heraldry in the SCA:

    And now you know where "Whyteboar" comes from. It's been with me for over 30 years now.
    Cheers all, I should probably try to get my SQL working how I need it instead of perusing the fun stuff here.

    The key is that Tree House just makes so many beers. Every one of their major IPAs has one or more variations (Green, Very Green, Gggreennn, Vvvery Greennn, ad infinitum). They brew pretty much every style. Their capacity is enormous, with dozens of different beers on tap at any time (not to mention to-go options).

    Tree house has 300 more beers in the BA database than Sierra Nevada, despite being around for a fraction of the time.

    I don't live in the same state, but I've reviewed nearly 100 Tree House beers, without really trying. SN, OTOH, is a company I tend to revisit the same beers over and over: SNPA, Torpedo, Narwhal, Hoptimum. Variety is part of Tree House's gimmick (I don't mind, but it's still a gimmick); SN makes a big deal of their variations (e.g. Tropical Torpedo, Hoptimum changes), because it's not a weekly thing for them.

    I didn't know you were in SCA! Very cool.

    And now you've provided me additional hint fuel. For this round, or a future round. :wink:
