    I enjoyed the Worst Beer thread, so fun reading all of your responses.

    So, is there a brewery ( or more) that you rated more than a hundred different beers from? I suspect that this is where the local, neighborhood breweries will shine. I always enjoy when one of my locals puts something new on. (disclaimer: I have four breweries within walking distance of my house)

    So for me, I have 12. 6 from Idaho, 2 from Oregon, 2 from Cali, 1 from Washington and 1 from Nevada

    Number 1 with a bullet: Woodland Empire Alecraft in Boise with 309. I knew the owners, and it was my go-to brewery.

    Fun one!

    According to my spreadsheet, there are three breweries from which I've reviewed over one hundred beers:
    1. BKS Artisan Ales (161)
    2. Alma Mader Brewing (124)
    3. Boulevard Brewing Co. (112)
    I have as little as several, or as many as a dozen, notes/scores typed up for other beers from those first two that I need to take the time and write into reviews. Usurpingly, all of those breweries are pretty darn close to me, with Alma Mader Brewing basically being in the backyard of Boulevard Brewing Co.

    Top eight I've reviewed beers from;
    • 307 Drekker with more in the fridge to review
    • 102 Brewing Projekt with more in the fridge to review
    • 68 Lupulin
    • 60 White Elm
    • 53 Prairie Artisan
    • 51 Boulevard
    • 42 Central Waters
    • 36 Founders
    Almost all are regional. Most of the Drekkers and BrewingProjekts were sours, while most of the rest on the list were BA stouts/barleywines/porters. I got into Drekker to get over my dislike for sours and IPAs, which has worked well. Every month Drekker releases 4 to 9 new-to-me beers here, and I reviewed them all for the past five years.

    Good thread. Not sure what you mean with the 12.6 from Idaho, 2 from Oregon, etc. 12.6 what?

    You refer to Woodland past tense. Did they close?

    Haven't reached 100 at any one, although to be honest I don't log every beer I have.
    My highest are:
    84 - Tree House (Had no idea I had that many)
    68 - Two Roads (My local brewery)

    If I can speak for @stevoj , I believe that's a period not a decimal. Read it like this:

    Without a spreadsheet (or counting by hand), what’s the easiest way to figure out your totals? Aside from clicking on each individual brewery, I mean.

    I used my untapped stats. If you wanna pull from here and you’re a techie, I found selenium is useful.

    edit in case there’s TOS: I’ve only ever used it for things like this, I have never and will never do any bulk scraping

    How does one look this up without clicking on every brewery page individually? Asking for a friend

    Not tech savvy in the least. Or up on the slang and lingo and whatnot. (Had to look up TOS to figure that one out.)

    Looks like my only century club membership is st Bell’s, where I’m hovering around 150 once I post a few more reviews from the notes.

    What’s surprising is there’s plenty of places where I’ve had a lot of beer, but maybe not as many of their beers. If that makes any sense.

    Awesome thread idea. I stopped rating and reviewing beers (for the most part) back in 2017 so I don't have hard data to support my claims, but I can explain why I feel confident I hit the mark. Let's get started.

    Hi-Wire - I've only reviewed/rated 23 beers from them but I worked there for about 6 months and would always have something different for my shift beer. They're also solidly in my grocery beer rotation and their sour bottles have shown up at quite a few bottle shares. There's no way I haven't had at least 100 unique beers from them.

    Dogfish Head - Only 30 logged beers but I was drinking DFH since I was 19 and worked at the OG brewpub for a few years. I've probably had 50 brewpub exclusives alone.

    Burial - Only 40 logged beers but they're far and away my favorite local brewery and I always try at least one new beer every time I go.

    Sierra Nevada - 53 logged beers. Not surprising since, again, they've existed my entire beer drinking life and they have their east coast facility here which I've been to probably a dozen times and always try something new when I go. They're also in my grocery beer rotation and the Beer Camp 12-pack alone gives a significant boost as well.

    Stone - 59 logged beers. I predict this will be a common one to come up in this thread since they're such huge pioneers. While I haven't bought any since the buyout, they were in heavy grocery store rotation for me for years.

    Wicked Weed - At 81 logged beers, I was quite surprised to see they beat out Burial by more than twice the amount. It just goes to show how beloved they were by locals up until the buyout (which coincidentally was in 2017, the same year I stopped rating and reviewing beers). They also have always been super prolific and I was getting their beer for free on a consistent basis for a while from friends who worked there.

    Some breweries I think I've come close with are Evil Twin (47), New Belgium (41) and Lagunitas (36) but I doubt I've actually hit the mark

    Well you're over 3 times my highest. I'm at a weak 22 from Revolution Brewing and 21 from my hometown brewery, Midwest Ale Works. Don't think I'll ever reach 100 from one brewery. Is cool to see who has though. Cheers!

    Very interesting for me to see this! 4 of the 8 (Alvarado, Fieldwork, Modern Times, Moonraker), I don't really drink that much anymore because of a change in brewers/expansion caused quality drop/not the same quality as before, etc.

    One way I found to do this is check by your individual States statistics, and if it is over 100 beers from the state, look at the breweries you have tried and see if any take up 2 full pages when scrolling, or if it looks like a lot just click into the brewery page to see.

    I checked the breweries who I thought I had a lot from, and some were 50-60+ but I think my only 100+ brewery right now is my local go-to Trillium, which isn’t widely distributed unfortunately. I wasn’t even drinking their beers for a while over the last few years due to not going into the city as much. It’s been about 8 or 9 years since I discovered them and they do a lot of different limited release one offs so I’ve had my fair share of them for sure thanks to the convenient location in the city near downtown Boston. They do even have shipping throughout Mass and some states now, I’m usually just afraid I won’t be home to sign for it and don’t want to deal with the aftermath of that.
