I wish I had data on active user bases for all 3 services and how many users rate beer at least, say, once per week. If you need to add a new beer that is not yet in the database, hit the ADD BEER button in the top left corner and add the details. These will automatically display in alphabetical order (Name A-Z). What do you all think? What is a better source of an "average" rank for a beer? BA or Untapped or RateBeer? Here, you will see a list of your brewery’s beers that have already been added to the Untappd database. Now I'd bet it's the same amount of effort either way. I find it very convenient, especially since I've been using the app since before BA came out with their iPhone app. Will be taking a couple four packs home for sure. After all, over at r/beeritforward, often requirements are placed on beers like "Must be 85+ on BA." So clearly the gold standard for beer ratings is BA.īut should it be? I know, for example, that I'd much rather use Untapped to rate beers. Dan Sheppard is drinking The Morbid Comfort of A Welcome Regression by Burial Beer Co. Yet I feel like BeerAdvocate ratings are taken very seriously. For our data set, the average person spends 42.93 at a brewery. The average Untappd rating from our study is 3.71.

In our study, the difference between the highest (4.43) and lowest (2.47) rated brewery is 1.96.

But I realized that I think in terms of Untapped ratings. Untappd uses the following formula to determine a brewery’s rating. When someone asked me "How was it?" I replied "I'd give it 4 bottle caps." Now, I meant this half seriously, at least saying the "bottle caps" part. The preposterously titled Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Grant Shapps (pictured), has unveiled the Governments latest madcap plans for making us colder and poorer. I was having a conversation with some friends last week about (what else) beer.
