    Searched to see if this has been posted yet (or maybe this is really old news) but I just saw that Heady Topper is now #1 most popular on this website.

    This is because of the Hads/Wants merge, not because of anything else, just be aware.

    I also thought it might have to do with the Westy XII bricks being released and the score going down. Westy is down to #6 now.

    It also got 6 reviews with a score of 5 (including the 4.98) in the past 24 hours....

    I'm pretty sure it was #3 before the merge, so the hads/wants thing didn't change Heady's place much.

    ... what? the entire point of this thread is noting that Heady is now #1. all my post was saying is that the reason Heady is now #1 is because of the Hads/Wants merge. like you yourself noted, Heady was #3 before, and #1 after. that is all.

    before the hads/wants merge, Westy was #2 still. but yeah, I imagine the bricks impacted the Hads pretty considerably.

    Actually, comparing the rankings to a scrape I did a few months ago shows huge movement within all of the lists. It also looks like we're seeing some ratings creep, in that all the ratings for 'Hads' on average were higher than the full reviews. The lowest rated beer in the top 100 a few months ago was rated 4.34, now the lowest rating is 4.42. A 4.42 on the old list would have been good for spot #50.

    Yep, people drinking and reviewing a just-brewed beer that is meant to be aged is bound to bring down the score. Let's get everyone to drink really old Heady Topper so it too is being consumed when not at its best.

    I'm always surprised when someone would click on a thread clearly about the ranking of a particular beer just to say that they are surprised by it

    Because to me it's crazy that someone would come on a beer ranking website and talk about the rankings of beer. WILD.

    I am always surprised when people get surprised by what surprises other people on this site. That stuff shouldn't surprise anyone anymore. I shouldn't even get surprised at all.
