    I just posted my 100th review of a Sierra Nevada beer. I’ve been drinking their beers for as long as they’ve been available in CT and keep buying and reviewing every beer of theirs I can get my hands on.

    Do any of you have a particular brewery whose beers you’ve written a lot of reviews about?

    Well behind 100 but Sam Adams and Harpoon are near or top of my list. Come to think of it, Trillium must be up there too.

    I’ve had an insane amount of different beers from Odell- don’t have a specific number to wag my dick with, but I’d suspect its near the century mark

    I have 114 from Sierra Nevada. Part of the reason is that I have been an Alpha Hop Member for the past three years. Add Beer Camp and a love of their beers and it was easy!

    Not that many, but I "adopted" a local brewery that opened 21 months ago, Remedy. They have really excellent brews. I added their brewery, uploaded a picture, added most of their beers unless someone beat me to it, and have reviewed 31 out of 69 of them. I tried to keep up with their releases but couldn't, given that I live out of town. They are expanding soon, and may become the second and largest SD brewery to distribute out of state.

    Huh, interesting topic. Looked it up and Ive had 52 from Sierra Nevada. 73 from Pipeworks seems to be my most for any one brewery. Pretty sure those are my two tops.

    Now that you mention it, yes, but not just in particular for reviews. Expand your concept to breweries you keep returning to, in general.

    I've ticked off 62 different Sierra Nevada beers, for your example. Beyond that, however, I buy at least a case of Hoptimum and Narwhal every year (I'm the #1 drinker of the latter on the popular phone app, so ... there's that lol). I don't hesitate to revisit SNPA or Torpedo, so long as they are reasonably fresh.

    Other than that, Stone comes to mind immediately (64 different ticks - and funny, considering the other thread running right now). Founders? Beer'd?

    I would guess anyone with a local favorite has similar stats as far as new ticks.

    I've had 112 from one of my local breweries, and when I looked through the list, there were more that I knew I had had, but never reviewed.

    Funny you mentioned it. Sierra Nevada is my most reviewed brewery at 64 reviews (of 769). They probably made up 50% of my craft consumption before I joined this site. Now, they have more retired distrubuted beers than beers I'd buy. Love Torpedo. Love nothing they have released in the last 2 years. Really a bummer!

    I’m at 87 with Sierra Nevada.

    Stone at 68 and Firestone at 50.

    I drink a lot of CA brew!

    38 from Sierra Nevada, 44 from Dogfish Head, and 50 from Troegs. Clearly there is lots more drinking to be done.

    Pardon my naïvety since I no longer review, and when I did I used Ratebeer, but OP means having 100 check-ins of SN beer, right? Or have they made over 100 different beers? I’m pretty clearly out of the loop, but also curious as to what my most rated brewery is from my reviewing days.

    Mine would be Fat Head's (134 unique beers), with Sierra Nevada right behind at 106. Third place drops to 68 with Jackie O's.

    Im sure a few of those include just variant years of some stuff. But the order would still remain.

    I've written reviews of 100 different Sierra Nevada beers. My liver hurts just thinking about how many check-ins I would have.
