Not sure why. This has become semi-traditional but since beer is such a core element to my lifestyle now meaning the chase, the buying, the travel, the tastings, the events, the cellar taking up a 3rd of my basement and one off-site as well, I don\u2019t really think to compile everything like I used to. Here\u2019s the college-try after being in the beer hobby since late-2010.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One thing I did do at the end of 2018 was I<a href=\"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2018\/12\/20\/site-news-adamchandler-beer-adamchandler-me-are-one\/\"> merged my Beer &amp; Main blogs.<\/a> This happens quite often for those not following along religiously. I create a new blog, post regularly for 3-4 years and then merge all of the posts back into my main one. I do this because I don\u2019t want people to be turned off by posts about a new hobby and stop reading but overtime, when that hobby becomes a lifestyle and less of a sponge-mode and exploration thing, I\u2019ll close down the old blog, merge posts and like today just post the occasional beer, photography, cars, bikes post to my main blog that I\u2019ve been posting regularly to since 2001. Some of those old posts are lost forever due to my own incompetence back in the day of managing databases but overall, I\u2019ve been writing for 20 years now\u2026I really should make that its own post.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2019 was a weird year. I started the year by not drinking for a month and I ended the year by not drinking much in November &amp; December. That is reflected in this graph:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;checkinsperday2019 untappd&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/49248552122\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"checkinsperday2019 untappd\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Checkinsperday2019 untappd\"  width=\"800\"  height=\"267\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49248552122_3159cce072_c.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m primarily using Untappd this year for tracking because RateBeer is only new ratings and as you can see from the graph below, I consumed 634 beers and only 226 were \u201cunique\u201d now Untappd defines unique to include vintages as well so if I\u2019ve already rated Orval but check into a 2009 bottle, that goes into my Unique score despite not being a new RateBeer rating:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;total beers&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/49248345006\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"total beers\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Total beers\"  width=\"800\"  height=\"258\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49248345006_df02c35e46_c.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>RateBeer indicates I had 201 beer ratings in 2019. Slightly less than Untappd\u2019s \u2018new beers\u2019 All of the spikes in the first graph are beer tasting days where we have friends over so it\u2019s pretty easy to see that we had at least 10 get togethers in 2019 with 2 or more friends or at beer events \/ tastings. I\u2019m okay with around 1 per month to have more than 10 \u2018tastes\u2019 note we\u2019re not drinking entire bottles ourselves, it\u2019s split 3-10 ways.<\/p>\n<p>When you compare the years, you\u2019ll see overall new beer ratings are way down:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;beer ratings over time&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/49248571892\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"beer ratings over time\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Beer ratings over time\"  width=\"800\"  height=\"358\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49248571892_a214f1180a_c.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Those HUGE spikes were always beer trips where we travel to a huge festival and 6 of us take turns grabbing more beers. My biggest event still to this day was the Alvinne Craft Beer Festival I think 2016 where I rated 125 beers in one day. Those were the good days.<\/p>\n<p>Averaging around 18 new beer ratings a month is in my opinion sustainable but will continue to drop because these days, all but about 50 of the beers in our 2,000 beer cellar are \u2018new ratings\u2019 the rest are beers I\u2019v had before and will check into on Untappd but won\u2019t re-rate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Where did I drink in 2019:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;locations&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/49248345001\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"locations\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Locations\"  width=\"800\"  height=\"369\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49248345001_d06c103019_c.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was a good year.

Gueuze almost beat out IPA this year and this is because Heather and I have 2,000 non IPAs at our disposal and 4 kegs of bourbon barrel aged imperial stouts so we don\u2019t buy IPAs. I went to Alchemist once this year and got a mixed case of IPAs and drink those within 3 weeks and then went back to what\u2019s in the cellar and that shows here. Obviously I drink a lot at home, and at a bar in Belgium and Goose Island and so you could say I\u2019m a home drinker and I wouldn\u2019t argue that but heather and I drink a few beers a week at home from our huge stash.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;check ins by hour&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/49248552177\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"check ins by hour\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Check ins by hour\"  width=\"800\"  height=\"483\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49248552177_a4f8dbe339_c.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed this stat. Very little week-day drinking (which is a big departure from the past) and most checkins from 8-10PM. I could easily highlight the few morning check-ins but these are 100% because I went to Europe twice this year and so my hours were skewed early. Other than that, I drank a few beers at Goose Island on Black Friday at 11:30AM but other than that, I don\u2019t day-drink anymore. I\u2019m too old for that.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;top countries and breweries&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/49248345066\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  title=\"top countries and breweries\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Top countries and breweries\"  width=\"800\"  height=\"292\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/49248345066_e8ffc9df02_c.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Great stat here, I\u2019m still Vermont biased and California is purely because of my Bruery club subscription. Belgium, no surprise there and the 5 days I spent in Berlin led to 12 checkins.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not going to break down UPS stats this year because I\u2019ve stopped trading beer so my shipping totals are no longer accurate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For 2020\u2026.meh, more of the same! I won\u2019t be renewing my Bruery RS for 2020. Heather and I have 5 cases of 15%ABV+ Bruery beers so we\u2019re all set there and good for the next 4 years at our current rate and these beers age so poorly there\u2019s no point in stock-piling them. We\u2019ll continue to drink local, I\u2019m going to cancel my Eden membership though because I have dozens of their ice ciders and don\u2019t need anymore and as for Schramm\u2019s I don\u2019t need anymore Schramm\u2019s mead but at the same time, I have started to relish my verticals of all of their meads. I joined their club the 1st year of operation so I have batches 1-7 of Heart of Darkness, Statement, Black Agnes and others. IDK. Not sure if I\u2019ll continue but we\u2019ll see. Of course Hill Farmstead remains my favorite brewery and the best local brewery. Talk of a cheaper club tier for people like me who only buy 1 bottle from the release is in the air and I\u2019m only buying 1 case of their CW allocations per quarter so I\u2019m in that camp and it would allow more people to join which I\u2019m all for. I went up there once every 2 months this year, my lowest ever but with cars, bikes, work, travel I just couldn\u2019t do my bi-weekly trips like I used to.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This post is a bit rushed but I\u2019m trying to get a lot done before the 2019 end of year hits and I\u2019m on vacation so at least I can say I did one of these posts this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019m just realizing that I skipped the 2019 post.
