Your 2023 Beer Stats on BeerAdvocate

I track on Untappd , I have not even looked at my year in review they sent out. I have no beer goals, ever. It’s beer, and nothing more.

A few top beers from Forest and Main this year.

Dance Money
ESB
Dark Lager
Above and below, most interesting


Enjoy

 

I like beer stats. I’ll have to dig into mine later.

Anyone know some good tricks for sorting your reviews etc by year/style/state all at the same time? Or is this the point where exporting the data set comes in handy?

 

Reviews to Date this Year: 110

High: 4.45 - Ralphius 2-Yr Double Barrel (Heaven Hill/Buffalo Trace)

Low: 2.91 - Anchor West Coast IPA

[Lifetime Average: 3.92]

 

Untappd just told me that this year i checked in 62 beers as opposed to 421 in 2022 . 359 less.

Next year the goal is 0 .

 

You're doing a helluva great job if that is your goal, but that's not the spirit of this site. C'mon, change your ways. You need a new New Years resolution.

 

I contribute to the forums as well, which is just as important

 

Well there is a difference between a 'check in' and a 'new check in' isn't there?

 

Figured as much. Ok data-analysis types, what’s the easiest way to pull your stats by year? Without scrolling screen by screen, that is.

 

I'm thinking the way the page is coded that screen by screen is the only available option. There was talk of an export function a while back but IIRC, that hasn't been made available yet.
@Todd - might it be possible to allow for more than 50 per page? That, I think, would require far less code change.

 

@elNopalero Maybe you've already tried this, but on a desktop/laptop you can drag your cursor across the data fields on each page of your BA beer stats listing and then do a copy/paste into a spreadsheet. Unfortunately the field that contains the Beer Name, Brewery and Style will remain in the same data field for each beer on the spreadsheet, thus is only sortable by the beer name. The individual sub-fields can be broken apart in the composition window on the spreadsheet and then copy/pasted into empty adjacent columns/fields on the spreadsheet, but it's a lot of busy work. Then these fields will be sortable.

It's cumbersome to do this for multiple pages as you work your way down the spreadsheet, but @Whyteboar's suggestion for 50 beer records per BA page would make it a little easier.

 

It would be great if the smart people behind BA would add a stats section for users

I hope to have roughly 10 additional new beers this year. Here is so far:

Current
New beers rated/reviewed 474
Highest 4.75
Lowest 2.94

 

186 new beers this year, 85 of them barleywines. Probably no more new ones this year, whole house has covid

Highest, Kane's Double Double Cask 2023 4.93

Lowest, 14th Star Brewing Co's Maple Breakfast Stout 2.08

Most interesting was probably Free Will's Ralphius, 3 year whiskey and hoodoo liqueur barrel aged. Or maybe one of Tree House's uniquely barrel aged barleywines?

Overall average is 3.98, this has gone up a little in the last year.

No goals set, so none met. It was a good beer year.

 

New beers rated or reviewed: 112 and I’d bet there will be a handful more in the next few days. This is down significantly from say 3-5 years ago.

i didn’t rate a single beer over 4.5 this year but rated about a dozen in the 4.4s - the most memorable of which was called “togarinn” a barrel aged stout I encountered at brothers brewery in the Westman Islands of Iceland this summer. I was floored by its quality and deliciousness and the fact that it was made in such an unexpected and beautiful place.

lowest rated beer was To Ol “mine is bigger than yours” Barleywine, which wasn’t horrible, but I did rate it 3.1 or something and ultimately couldn’t finish the bottle; it was mildly infected and just off. One doesn’t want a sour cherry Barleywine.

I try hard not to buy or drink bad beer and feel I’m an educated consumer (sym’s best customer) so my biggest thumbs down of the year goes to epic and their ludicrous big bad Baptist barrel strength variant, but really it could be any of the “rare” release (lol) dreck they churn out annually and charge through the nose for. That one was the straw that broke the back and ensures I will never pay for another of their thoroughly mediocre stouts. Do you ever get on beer streaks? Like you have a few days where everything is f*^*king amazing and your love for beer is just born anew? And then you get on a bad streak and you’re like, what the hell am I even doing here? BBB bowel strength fell one of those latter streaks.

back to stats I finally ticked a happoshu this year!

Goals for 2024:
* Review as many international Beers as possible
* Crack into more Aussie craft beers
* Keep enjoying reviewing Beers, no matter where they're from, or whom they're brewed by.

I only got back into reviewing in the last month or so, so hoping to discover many more Beers in the next 365 days.

 

As some of you are aware, I'm the kind of geek that keeps an excel sheet about his beer consumption, so I can offer you some insanely detailed data on my alcoholism beer drinking habits.

Here are some highlights.

I consumed a total of 14686oz, meaning just over 3.7 barrels, in the form of 1266 individual beer servings. Of these, 815 beers were unique, and 698 were new to me. All these beers came from 400 breweries of which 200 were new breweries to me. A total of 34 countries and 34 states (if you include DC).

Most consumed beers:
Heady Topper: 1629.5oz
Sip Of Sunshine: 580oz
Focal Banger: 400oz
Celebration: 246oz

Most consumed breweries :
The Alchemist: 2177
Lawson's: 714
Forest and Main: 531
Human Robot: 477
Russian River: 416

Most Consumed styles:
IPA: 3250oz
DIPA: 3201oz

I will stop here before anyone blocks me for being too much of a nerd.

 

I must be brain dead right now because I can't figure out what the difference is between 'unique' and 'new to me' beers. How are you defining those terms?
