NBS BIF #18 Sign-Up Thread

This is curious.

I don't lead a single category.

In IPAs, WunderLlama, 2beerdogs, and snaotheus are all ahead of me.
In stouts, sulldaddy and Whyteboar are ahead of me.
In sours, snaotheus is ahead of me.

Yet, I have more total reviews than any of the above users.

Looks like I just need to go to Tree House more often and un-diversify my ratings.

 

Oh! Well, that makes more sense. Now at least I lead stouts.

 

My reviewing rate has definitely dropped off as of late, going back to my time in Georgia, even. I'm drinking more wine, and I'm drinking way more repeat beers: lots of Lunch while I was in Maine (it was everywhere!), and Sip of Sunshine pretty much every day back in CT.

I'm also traveling to breweries less frequently, and vary rarely frequent craft beer bars, so that's hurt my ticking rate significantly.

Fortunately, I get a prompt injection of fresh reviews every time the BIF rolls around.

 

Oh, it definitely has, it's just tough to see on a scale that's measuring years.

Just a casual glance over the last few years, and I've reviewed roughly 50 fewer beers in 2023 than 2022, 50 fewer beers in 2022 than 2021 (and therefore 100 fewer in 2023 than 2021), and so on.

That might not seem like a lot, if you consider that I still reviewed about 400 beers in 2023 ... but it adds up.

And also ... wait, WTF? I seriously review that many beers every year???

 

It's almost like you can figure out my sandwich delivery schedule in there ...

Yeah, definitely tailed off, but I guess I had a shockingly productive Fall!

 

Does that coincide with @Beersnake 's BIF, I wonder?

 

Are you already dropping hints?
