NBS BIF #18 Sign-Up Thread

I am glad people are paying attention. I certainly had a lot crap going & didn't really look at the square as closely as I should've

 

Yaaaasssssss

 

Hmmm...I have twelve, perhaps I was overconfident about someone...

If you're on the list and not planning on participating, you may get beer from me anyway

 

I wonder why people keep saying stuff like that. Can't cellared beers fit in a cardboard box?

 

I think so, depending on style. Billy Beer might not be a cool cellar pull to send. However, I have sent sent 6-7 year old Black Tuesdays in the past (sometimes among newer versions) and I was told it was appreciated.

 

12 thus far.

 

12 is great, but I have a feeling we'll at least make the namesake...18

 

I forget, did we hear from @Ozzylizard and @CarolinaCardinals ?

 

Figured out my "unknown" styles problem.

 

I could figure out how many IPAs need to be reviewed by @WunderLlama and @foundersasap for the category to hit 50% of their total (assuming nothing outside of that category is reviewed), that wouldn't be hard. Estimating time based on a proportional increase of IPA-to-non-IPA would be a lot harder, and sounds like a lot of work.

 

First off, DAMN @snaotheus . You're a beast with stats, but I do remember you also were when I was last in a BIF a few goes ago.
It's interesting I'm a beast in 3 styles of beer. Damn. I must admit I'm surprised.

 

Out of curiosity, since obviously our collective favorite category is IPA, I thought I'd break it down a bit more within that category.


Minor observations, if my calculations and data are correct (shaky propositions at best):
- @foundersasap has never reviewed a Brut IPA
- @Whyteboar has never reviewed a Brut IPA or an English IPA
- @2beerdogs clearly favors "American IPAs" over all other forms of the category, making up 47%+ of his IPA reviews (the highest proportion overall)
- On average, Brut IPAs are clearly the least favorite, at 0.32%
- Unsurprisingly, American IPAs are the most popular, on average getting 38.4% of our IPA reviews. A little more surprisingly, Imperial IPAs edged out New England IPAs, 28.4% to 26.5%

 

Well, IMHO @foundersasap iand @Whyteboar aren't missing much with regards to Brut IPAs.
And I guess I'm not alone in my lack of love for Belgian IPAs.

 

And now that I look a little closer, (love these graphs!) @foundersasap are twinning on the first 3 categories.

 

Proportions are very similar, but counts are very different!
