I had over 1000 new beers in 1.5 years. That's ... a lot. Due for an update. Thanks to Tip Tap Room for accounting for mostly likely half of the newest 1000, and to Trillium for accounting for 63 of them. The stats (values from last time in parentheses):
Breweries: 621 (490)
Beers: 3029 (2022)
Breweries with only 1 beer: 258 (212)
Breweries with 5+ beers: 166 (117)
Cascade highest average of those at 6 for 7 beers
Breweries with 10+ beers: 81 (45)
Foam and Hill Farmstead highest average of those at 5.5 for 14 beers
Breweries with 25+ beers: 13 (8)
Tree House highest average of those at 5.49 for 78 beers
Breweries with 50+ beers: 5 (3)
Night Shift 4.45 for 128
Trillium 5.29 for 92
Harpoon 4.39 for 83
Tree House 5.49 for 78
Sam Adams 4.44 for 71

Breweries with 5+ beers with 6 or higher rating: 28 (15)
Breweries with 10+ beers with 6 or higher rating: 10 (5)
Breweries with more than 1 7 beer: 6 - Southern Tier has 3, Tree House 9 (this stayed the same as last time, except Tree House added 7 new 7's - taking over the high-end dominance).
Beers rated 7 Shyoh's: 46 (36)
Beers rated 6 Shyoh's: 569 (293)
Beers rated 5 Shyoh's: 1044 (642)
Beers rated 4 Shyoh's: 965 (700)
Beers rated 3 Shyoh's: 327 (285)
Beers rated 2 Shyoh's: 68 (57)
Beers rated 1 Shyoh : 10 (9)
As you can see, the vast majority of additions are to 5's and 6's. Breweries are getting better, and I'm getting better at choosing knowing my preferences. Tons of great beer out there.
My note last time said that "maybe Josh will add some too". I can say with confidence that, of these last 1007 beers, Josh reviewed exactly 1. It was recent though, so maybe he'll do more.
