1. Would be nice to get a review with the rankings that also includes subjective comparisons like ” it reminds me of the Redhook IPA but with alittle less on the hops..” for example.
You younger guys probably don’t appreciate how far the craft and microbrewing in the USA has come over the past 30 years…
Thanks for the feedback! About a month or so ago we did contemplate what you’re suggesting. However, we felt that all scores, reviews and comparisons for beer would be best on the main page to avoid cluttering the Top 10 section. I will try to incorporate more comparisons in my reviews for upcoming beers. Check back again, and thanks for taking the time to explore our blog.
