My last four rates have been Bavarian beers, so I thought I would check my totals and see where I was in the ‘Bavarian Beer Stakes’.

Well, I am just a loser all round really. Even though it is my highest scoring (by volume) of all the German States. I had forgotten how large and beery Bavaria was!

Who knew there were 757 active breweries in Bavaria? I have had beers from 101 apparently.

The top raters are on 4,000 plus and I am lagging behind with just over 250 and miles from being on the top raters list. Even though Bavaria accounts for a massive 43% of my German rates.

Please add your Bavarian totals, it might make me feel better, or not.

Only 130 ticks from Bavaria and I actually spent 2 weeks there. No samples were consumed though, and several pints were ordered twice. Of these 130, only 15 scored below a 3 for me, definitely a sign of how beery Bavaria is! These 130 ticks come from 59 breweries, which is pretty coherent with the 2-3 different beers per brewer average we traditionally see there.

1259 beers, 299 breweries.

At least I’ve had beers from more than 50% of the breweries in Oberfranken (79 out of 155)

I’m 25th in the “top raters of Bavaria” list, still shortly behind the good old motelpogo.

(AND I HAVE BEEN LIVING HERE FOR 3 YEARS, FOR F***'S SAKE!)

Had many trips to Northern Franconia and Bavaria over the years, not so many since the age of RateBeer though. Nine Munchen O’fests, a couple of Cannstatter Volksfest and a Nuremberg O’fest along with Bamberg and other beery locations. My car has trouble leaving Belgium when I cross the channel these days.

Yes, Flights are mostly an American thing, in Bavaria if you try and order anything less than half a litre they stare at you!

Beers of Europe, or a trip overseas to Bavaria would help your cause.

Most people on here will find that Bavaria is their ‘top’ German rated State, they have some huge breweries that export all over the world.

274 Bavarian ratings out of a total 656 German (though of course Bavaria is not part of Germany).
The 274 comes from 101 breweries.

102 Bavarian beers from 31 breweries. So around 60% of my Germany ticks (166). Definitely a favourite beer region.

Bavaria also has 7 out of the 68 beers/ciders/meads to which I have given 4.5 or higher scores.

It definitely is not boring.

But the “below 3” part gets a bit worse once you go into the 1000s, for me, 852 Bavarian beers have scored above 3, that’s 67.67%.

182 Bavaria ratings by 79 breweries, on a total of 329 Germany ratings. And as @SinH4 mentioned, a low amount of beers rated lower than 3.

351 beers with an average of 3.15 from 103 breweries.

But I have to say I really haven´t traveled to Bavaria just for beer so far. Never been to Bamberg even though its only 2 and a half hours by car. I am so busy with catching up on beers around me that I haven’t planned a to dive deeper in Bavarias beer culture. At the moment when I travel it is to other European countries, but a visit to Bamberg is on the list for 2018.

550 rates from 159 breweries.

Did a lot of beer ticking in Bavaria pre RB days so all time totals probably a good bit more … probably over 1K rates.
