@beer sadly most of us aren't professional beer tasters, we can only go by what we know. I've never imagined "user" ratings being helpful to a brewery. I'd think how quickly it sells out would be more telling. 😆
@Vanzandtjr Oh, we are well aware of that. And like the rest of ya'll FOMO is real.
@Vanzandtjr Also, thank you for sharing your thoughts!
@Vanzandtjr What you shared is not an uncommon approach.
We rate beers based on meeting the metric for style, regardless of personal style bias. In case the question is asked.
In speaking with breweries, unfortunately, rating based on if the imbiber likes the style is a frustrating qualifier for reviews. Mostly because it cannot account for if that beer met, failed, or excelled in the style requirements.
