I just looked up Orval, Rodenbach Grand Cru, Spezial Lager, Saison Dupont, all the Blaugies beers on Untappd and I rest my case.
Travel articles usually take about a month to write & edit. This might be my record: I got back home late on a Sunday; 10 days + 5 hours later, β36 Hours in Bologna, Italyβ went live on @nytimes.com.
Great food, beer (Caβ del Brado!) art & more.

Blind Pig is better
In a nutshell, consistency is the key
To paraphrase Peter Austin: the best thing you can do is make great beer all the time. The next best thing you can do is make bad beer all the time...it will find it's fans. The worst thing you can do is make great beer sometimes and bad beer sometimes, because then everyone is confused
If I decide to go down the rabbit hole of quality, we're going to be here for a while. Simple definition: accomplishing what you set out to do. Meets expectations consistently. A process that is in control.
As you can tell, I have opinions π
Rare/expensive beers are highly rated, because no one wants to admit they stood in line for 5 hours or paid an unreasonable amount of money for a 3. More emphasis on intensity of flavor than actual quality.
Generally the highest rated beers have a small number of check-ins. Look up any beer considered a classic, and they generally have a rating between 3.2 and 3.6.
Bars/events have used the ratings to decide what beers to carry. The algorithm ultimately drives all beers to a rating of 3. Unrated check-ins get a 3.
I think that's a great way to use it actually. It's a personal list, and it most likely shows what you like.

If you look at the Untappd awards and notice how many of the award winning breweries are closed, you'll be closer to understanding how meaningless that site is. They actually do more damage than good.
Of course, Hitler, being the coward he was, committed suicide before the trials
Oh
Uh...not an e-bike
Definitely not an e-bike
And this isn't an e-bike
But this is not an e-bike
Can anyone tell me what the bike industry and/or People For Bikes are doing about the way e-bikes are being blamed for havoc caused by people riding electric motorcycles?!!?
WAY MORE THAN HALF THE STORIES ABOUT DEATHS CAUSED BY E-BIKES DO NOT INVOLVE E-BIKES. THIS IS KIND OF IMPORTANT.
Headline and subhed of Washington Post op-ed arguing that there should be more representation of evangelical Christians on the Supreme Court and other government institutions.
