Shad's Year of Beer

Last Post! Wrap up of the year.

Well that was a fun yet expensive project. By the end of the year I was burned out in trying to locate beers that I have not had yet in the mix and match cooler. Thank God for Google spreadsheets so I could access it on my phone to see what I have and have not had yet. I figured this challenge ended up costing some where between $1200-$1500 and that does not include all the $ spent on food for 3 people when out hitting up the breweries. Good Times!

Here is a quick breakdown of beers by state/country and the average rating of that state/country. Yes it was Colorado heavy and that was on purpose. If you want to view the spreadsheet, click here. You can sort by brewery, state, rating, ect. in the spreadsheet to get all the gory details.
