Weighted Rank Sorting for Each Brewery

Having a weighted rank sorting column for all the beers produced by each brewery would be a useful tool.

Maybe it is just me: When visiting a brewery, I like to get a representative selection of available beers. I chose by style, then by what the community feels is “best of” whatever is currently available.

It seems that such a column would be fairly easy to add, as the weighted ranking is already being calculated. Not to show the weighted ranking score, rather just to list a specific brewery’s beers according to the WR, as is already being done for the “Top Rated” lists.

@Todd, do you think this may be doable? Everyone else, do you think this would be a worthwhile tool?

Thanks for your consideration.

 

Good point.

And the point about crowding too.

thanks.

 

The above point, made two different ways, is the more significant argument against adding a WR column. A WR column would relegate the number of ratings column as unnecessary (as that information is displayed on the individual beer pages), thus freeing space for WR which seems to be more valuable information.

As for the number of null values, due to insufficient rating data, the same can be said for number of reviews. If a minimum of ten reviews is a prerequisite for a WR, then which data set provides more information? IMO, ten is a good min. requirement AND the WR is still more valuable in the table because is provides more compact information regarding the data.

 

Rank (overall) could be useful, however the WR is a better understood value of the collective perception of the specific beer.

WR is also only two digits, vs. potentially five digits of the overall ranking or similarly the total Ratings. Thus a WR column, in place of Ratings column, would actually free-up space on the table.
