Top Beer Analysis
Written By: Chris Vandergrift on 01/16/2016
This list is comprised in the following way: In order to make the master list, a beer has to be in the "Top X Beer" on two of the three rating sites: RB, BA, Untappd. Below, I'll list the remainders from each list that did not make it on the combined list. BeerAdvocate had 250 on its list, RateBeer had 50, and Untappd had 36. Also, the average is on the number of entries, so if it only showed up on two lists, it's only averaged by 2 entries.
