Too much time digging through to get all the stats.

Will be trying to spend $1 or less per beer again in 2018.

Enjoy

Styles hit in 2017- 40

 

If I knew how much I spent on beer last year, I would probably throw myself off a tall building. Or at least go to great lengths to hide it from my wife.

 

About 430 beers, with Treehouse Bright as my top rated one of the year @ 4.88.

 

Interesting. I actually do this but not the $ figure. BA needs a track the beers you have drank.

 

I reviewed all 251 new-to-me beers that I had in 2017, and I went from about 52 styles reviewed to 100 in my push to try all 104. I spent exactly "to damn much" and my cellar swelled because I got into drinking new but still kept adding to my cellar. I now have enough beer in my cellar to survive the zombie apocalypse, presuming BA stouts keep them at bay.

 

548 new beers tried and rated. Dang, that’s 1.5 new beers per DAY.

I don’t have a problem. YOU have a problem. I can quit whenever I want...

 

I just copy my BA data into a spreadsheet, so I don't have access to a whole bunch of stats. I logged 275 new beers in 2017. I also made it to 104 styles, the final three of which cost about $66:

English Pale Mild - Hoof Hearted Belloq ($16, growler & fill)
English Dark Mild - Jester King Commercial Suicide ($16/750)
Roggenbuer - Rogue Roguenbier ($8.99 bomber, $25 S&H)

I don't even want to know how much I spent beyond that.

My highest-rated beers of 2017 were Zombie Dust, TG Xhops Gold, MBC MO, Odell Rupture, and DKML. Lowest was Lazy Mutt Farmhouse (sic) Ale, from Minhas Craft (sic) Brewery.

 

Congratulations! Stand ready to have a NEIPA if you haven't yet, it will apparently be #105.

 

Congrats. What's next on the bucket list that is beer related? It would be hard to top that one.

 

If they don't reclassify something I've already had, then screw it.

 

OP, that's a nice compilation of beer stats. I keep a series of notepads with my beer ratings when I visit and review a new (to me) brewery. I had 110 new places in 2017 (12 were eateries/bars and the rest were breweries) and I typically drink a sampler flight (or two) at each one, so I'm guessing that I had an average of 5 beers at every place, or 550 beers. I recall giving a handful of 4.5 ratings, and maybe a 4.75 or two, but I'd have to look back through those note pads to see which beers they were. You'd think I could remember the notable beers, but the brain cells are slowly eroding and it's all a big fog nowadays.

 

A beer from each state. (Four to go: AR, ND, CT, RI.)
A beer from each Trappist brewery. (Four to go: Spencer, Tre Fontane, Westvleteren, Zundert.)

To be honest, I'm not putting much effort into these quests. Once I get my retirement ducks in a row, a beercation to New England will be the first order of business.

 

My analysis contribution:
~350-400 new beers rated/reviewed in 2017
That is about exactly the same count as my stats show in 2016 and also 2015.

I think the difference over these 3 years, is a trending towards higher quality beers and higher cost beers. Bottom line: My beer budget/spending is increasing, quality of new beers I'm rating seems to be much higher overall as well.

- Alot more $5 16oz can buying from top self-distributing beer makers, 2017 has been more beers sampled from on site brewery buying and trades from top brewers from around the county.
- Years past, more random mixer sixers new beers from the store shelves and flights from new startup breweries.
2017 store beers are mostly repeat buys of beers I really liked from the past and a lot less new beer sampling.

 

That is a fantastic compilation @The_Kriek_Freak. I'm just the opposite and when I get too analytical in either evaluating, purchasing or funding, it becomes daunting. Then I just go drink a beer. My stats go something like this, 2 beers a day x 365 = 730 beers x $3 = too much $$. Happy New Years

 

I've completed the quest to have a beer from every state, and I have the bottle/can displayed in my collection in my man cave. But my last beer-related bucket list item is to drink a beer in each state. I have CT, RI, NJ, KS, AK and HI to finish up. I've been to each of these states in the past (except for AK and RI), and I'm certain I've had a beer while there, but I did that before I got into craft beer and made it a 'hobby' so those visits are not documented. I hope to tick off Alaska this year.
