Stat Attack: The Stat Strikes Back

[Mr_Pink_152]

So the other week it was your top ten UK and Ireland Breweries. I thought this time it would be good to extend this over Europe. So…

What are your top 10 European, but not UK and Ireland Brerweries?

Brewery	Beers	Rate	Country
Brouwerij Huyghe	5	4.00	Belgium
Ca’ del Brado	6	3.95	Italy
Omnipollo	26	3.95	Sweden
Van Moll	6	3.82	Netherlands
Lervig Aktiebryggeri	13	3.78	Norway
To Øl CPH	22	3.78	Denmark
Bierbrouwerij de Koningshoeven - La Trappe Trappist	7	3.76	Netherlands
Põhjala	19	3.74	Estonia
O/O Brewing	6	3.73	Sweden
Brouwerij Alvinne	14	3.73	Belgium

Any surprises?

Again after a week if anyone else has posted a top ten I will compile an overall list.

[wheresthepath]

Not sure my stats should count - I only have two with over 5 ratings!

For what it’s worth:
Mikkeller (10) 3.56 Denmark
AB InBev Belgium (5) 2.56 Belgium

(If the Channel Islands count, I can also add in Liberation (5) 2.96 Jersey)

De Dolle Brouwers, Belgium, 7, 3.84
Brouwerij De Ranke, Belgium, 6, 3.80

Mostly German stuff. Surprised to see Septem among my top 10 (seems like I was very pleased to be able to drink something besides macro on my last trip to Cyprus). It’s a shame that the overall brewery score was removed. It would be interesting to see the overall rating vs. our own ratings.

St Bernadus Brouwerij, 5, 3.84 / Belgium
Mikkeller, 5, 3.74 / Denmark
Dogma Brewery, 5, 3.74 / Serbia
Brauerei Aying, 11, 3.72 / Germany
Brauerei Heller, 5, 3.72 / Germany
Septem Microbrewery, 5, 3.7 / Greece
Schneider Weisse G. Schneider & Sohn GmbH, 12, 3.69 / Germany
Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan, 13, 3.63 / Germany
Megobrebi Brewery, 11, 3.62 / Georgia
Bierbrouwerij de Koningshoeven - La Trappe Trappist, 5, 3.56 / Netherlands

[BeardedAvenger]

1. Gueuzerie Tilquin (Belgium) 7 @ 3.87

2. Jopen (Netherlands) 6 @ 3.86

3. Põhjala (Estonia) 16 @ 3.77

4. Omnipollo (Sweden) 6 @ 3.75

5. Sori (Estonia) 5 @ 3.7

6. Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan (Germany) 5 @ 3.7

7. Uiltje (Netherlands) 5 @ 3.68

8. Lervig (Norway) 6 @ 3.66

9. Schneider Weisse (Germany) 5 @ 3.64

10. Brouwerij Oud Beersel (Belgium) 6 @ 3.63

So most of them qualify with the bare minimum. Surprised at Sori - although some were in the first stop of my 40th weekend in Helsinki so may have benefitted from my particularly good mood at the time.

[BlackHaddock]

Here are the scores from a Haddock in Shropshire:

1. Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan 11 at 3.84 (Germany)

2. De Struise Brouwers 25 at 3.8 (Belgium)

3. Brouwerji Het Nest 5 at 3.76 (Belgium)

4. Brauerei Ayling 7 at 3.76 (Germany)

5. St. Bernardus Brouwerij 12 at 3.75 (Belgium)

6. Bierbrouwerij de Koningshoeven - La Trappe Trappist 15 at 3.75 (Netherlands)

7. De Dolle Brouwers 9 at 3.74 (Belgium)

8. Brouwerij De Molen 15 at 3.71 (Netherlands)

9. White Pony Microbirrificio 6 at 3.68 (Italy / Belgium)

10. Uiltje Brewing Company 9 at 3.67 (Netherlands)

Happy with those, proves I am not a ‘Sour Puss’ and enjoy diverse beer styles.

<*))))))><

[BlackHaddock]

Ha @YantarCoast I have enjoyed some Septem beers, it’s OK to like Greek stuff. I also noticed we have a few of the same breweries in our top 10’s; we seem to have similar tastes.

PS. I promise not to stalk you!

Nice to see one cidermaker has got into my top 10!

[simontomlinson]

111 Mikkeller

[jjsint]

I’ve had a few Septem and found them quite tasty on the whole. Not in my top 10 but certainly reasonable scores.

[Mr_Pink_152]

The results are in and using the Euro Vision scoring system of 12, 10, 8-1 for each person top ten. the overall top 10 is…

Pos	Brewery	Pts
1	St Bernardus	52
2	De Struise	37
3	Mikkeller	24
4	3 Fonteinen	24
5	Põhjala	22
6	Omnipollo	22
7	Weihenstephan	20
8	De Dolle	19
9	Schneider Weisse	18
10	Cantillon	17

[martjoobolut]

Brewery	Country	Beers	Score
Brauerei Heller	Germany	8	4.04
Jaros	Poland	7	4.03
Cantillon	Belgium	46	4.02
De Dolle Brouwers	Belgium	8	3.89
Bokke	Belgium	17	3.88
Gueuzerie Tilquin	Belgium	29	3.83
Brouwerij Girardin	Belgium	5	3.82
La Trappe	Netherlands	21	3.79

3 Fonteinen	Belgium	33	3.77

I guess one could say that I like lambics or something.
If I would enter my untappd ratings, Antidoot would move to first, and Heller would move to third or fourth (as Hansla wasn’t very good), rest would probably stay the same.
