I was thinking how many beers I would need to rate to achieve travlr’s feat of 100 rates in each state (100 times the number of states where you have less than a hundred then deduct number of ratings in those states). I was a little surprised that my number was as high as it was: 2040.
I don’t know if I will ever get there (mostly because I will probably never go to Alabama).
To get to 10 of each I’m only 47 away and have been to 7 of the 9 states I’m not at 10 for. Issue was early on in RB career I was mostly focused on just NY State beers as primary objective.
2093 for me which I imagine will be one of the lower figures, as is the nature of this stat, for someone who isn’t from or who has never lived in the US
With only 9 states complete and only living in Alaska for 6 years of my time on RateBeer I knew this would be high. It would take me 3158 (16 states under 10 rakes)
I’m at 1904 for 100 in each. I’m not even thinking about 100. Maybe 50… still need to get to 10 like @jow in 6 states - 19 rates away from that.
Basically the way I see it, my numbers in some of the far away states that I’ve never been to are often driven by one popular brewery that pops up. Or at least that starts to ship more widely. I had basically no N. Dakota until Drekker started showing up everywhere in the east.
My whole Utah list of 40-something is just Uinta and Epic basically. My 41 Oklahoma ticks are like 35 Prairies, and six american soleras.
Iowa is basically only Toppling Goliath (not a bad problem to have, mostly thanks to trips by @Iphonephan )
Hawaii is only Maui and Kona.
Too bad @Travlr quit. He’d have a heyday with all these new regions on here to chase.
