How many different beers have you had?

Impressive number
I think flights count. I think that is adequate to comprehend the beer

 

I have 90% of mine on display in the basement, so like you I see mine and have memories.

 

Not too many considering 55 years of tasting. We started keeping track in '72 or so by putting the empties on shelves, but we all eventually moved away. I probably had over 400 by 1977 (including about 75 homebrews).

 

I've reviewed 4374, but I'm tried well over 5000.

 

I imagine that tracking down 300 different beers in the 70's was a tall task!

 

We were at a Univ. with students from all over. We had friends bringing back stuff from all over.

 

about 5450 rated. only 1732 in last 10 years.

 

Over 10,000 on "Dumcrapped" (but I joined in February 2017) so probably well over 20,000 in my lifetime.

As I stated a while ago, it's gonna take me years to transfer all of my ratings & reviews from 'Dumcrapped' over to BA along with reviewing current brews so upon further thought, It might actually be closer to 25,000 individual, distinctive beers I've had in my lifetime.

But hey, when you kids get to be six or seven decades into beer drinking, you'll be there too!

 

How many beers have I tried? Thousands. I drank my dad's beer as a young teenager. I went to El Salvador as an exchange student and drank quite a few different beers there. I married a French woman and we've traveled through Europe for the past 45 years drinking every local beer I could find. I'm in France now and drinking at least one new beer every few days. I homebrewed for 33 years.
How many beers did I review? Pretty much zero.

 

But we still like having you around anyways.

 

11k plus over 35 years

 

My BA stats say I have tried 1,797 beers since August 2012. Even though it's there to look at I really haven't noticed or acknowledged it - damn, near 2,000 - I am frankly surprised...

 

I also joined to track the beers I drank and slowly go pulled on more
My memory is pretty bad

 

I don’t know why flights don’t count;

 

Because you don't really get to know a beer from a flight pour. It's the inverse of shotgunning a beer.

 

4725 ratings/reviews. In my hey day (guessing 2014-2019 timeframe) I was averaging 30-45 beer reviews a month. Now I’m well under 10 per month due to many factors.

 

I think a flight pour is more than sufficient to get a handle on 95+% of the beers in the world. But to each their own.
