    Sometimes, living in PA, I have to decide to gamble on the purchase an entire case of an untried beer or pass it up entirely. For some beer styles looking at the list ordered by number of ratings and then using the most popular link to look at the top 50 can provide very helpful information beyond just a sorted list of the written reviews.

    However, for some styles being able to look only at the 50 most popular can be fairly limiting. For example in the Saison/Farmhouse ale category the top 50 are all rated above 4.2, forcing a lot of extra hassle and making it quite hard to evaluate a beer compared to others with comparable ratings. Any chance we could get a few more options here in the most popular list and be able to look at the next 50, the next 50, etc. as ordered by overal rating score? Doing the rating score sort in most frequently rated to look at an order by top scores produces a lot of items that don't qualify for inclusion in the most popular list and can require a good bit of hassle to look through multiple groups of 50 and ignore a lot of unhelpful information.

    Thanks.
