Most Beers Reviewed From One Brewer

My top 3:

Sierra Nevada 141
New Trail 130
Sam Adams 126

 

Agreed -- and add 20 years of reviewing beers on BA to the equation it's no wonder I've been able to sample so many SN beers.

 

I kinda feel like at that number of different beers they must be making very slight recipe tweaks and then using Mad Libs to name them.

 

Paging @bbtkd re: Drekker.

EDIT: As for me, just 66 from Kettlehead.

 

186 from Upright.
149 from de Garde.

 

I'm up to 292 Drekkers since 2019. I have two in the fridge to review yet this weekend, then I'll be at 62.8 % of their beers. Ironically, that doesn't make them my favorite brewery. I've never been to their brewery even though it's only 3 hours away.

In summer 2019 I couldn't find many new-to-me-beers to review because I despised IPAs and sours, and since I noted that Drekker was sending monthly drops of IPAs and sours, I decided to start reviewing all of their beers to get over that. Now I like sours and IPAs. They send 5-9 a month that I haven't had, which has run the total up.

I doubt my 292 is any kind of record. Second place for me is Brewing Projekt at 98.

 

For me, it's Sierra Nevada at 117.

I miss the days when they would do multiple collabs and package them together (Beer Camp Across America). I also miss the seasonal releases that were all new and unique beers - single hops, northern and southern hemispheres, etc.

 

Not surprisingly, my top 3 are all local:

Magnify 265
Twin Elephant 139
Carton 109

I'm blessed to have some much good beer so close to home!

 

According to BA's ugly stepsister, Untappd, it's Founders for me with 83.

 

I'm happy to be THAT guy. 88 unique beers from Tree House.

If you count Stone and Arrogant Bastard together, they are my second place with 78.

BBC/Sam Adams is a close third with 76

 

Because I'm from SD, not surprising my top five are midwestern:

Surly (MN)
Toppling Goliath (IA)
Boulevard (MO)
Lupulin (SD/MN)
Fair State (MN)

Lots of other entries from CA:

Sierra Nevada
Stone
North Coast
Lagunitas

 

My top three were:
Evil Twin 124
Stone 123
Sierra Nevada 106
The first one was a total surprise to me. I have only picked up a handful of Evil Twin brews in the last 5 years, but when they first hit the market, I bought every different one I could find; a lot more than I imagined or remembered.
I expected Sierra Nevada to be high on the list, but honestly didn't remember them making so many different ones.

After scrolling down to other comments, I see the reason for Sierra Nevada: the annual Beer Camp cases. I loved those and that added a lot to variety.

That was fun.

 

I think my highest is Free Will Brewing (Perkasie, PA) - 159 beers.

 

It looks like it’s Bellwoods for me at 365. I probably have about 10 in the cellar/fridge from them that I haven’t had yet too. They’ve been pumping out fewer one-offs the past year or so, and I don’t go as often, so I think I may have plateaued here.

 

Could have sworn it's one of the big domestic ones. But it's Big Drop Brewing from the UK, specializing in NA, at 12.

 

I may go check. Can't remember which it was last time this came up. Am posting to mention I think another interesting number on this same topic would be what percentage of a brewery's beers you've reviewed.

 

Troegs with 83.

 

I thought I had reviewed 100% of the beers produced by Brasserie d’Orval, but turns out it’s only 50%.

I have also reviewed 67% of the beers from Brouwerij Westvleteren and Brouwerij Westmalle…
