Well, the end is now official–the race is almost over. Who will win most ratings? Who will win most regions? Most countries? I’m gonna finish as conquistador of Mexico by a 20-beer margin as things stand, if nobody tells @Nekronos …
Who will get the most coveted final rating? And will it be a malt liquor?
true. screen shots maybe? But then again, when the world ends, who we gonna brag to? Maybe we meet in RB hell? (I doubt the website is going to internet heaven for any number of reasons…)
It would be nice if the final stats could be compiled, presented at a final RB Best awards ceremony where the prizes are everyones obscure style cellar relics.
I was hoping to be the first person to hit 1,000 rates for Derbyshire and thought that maybe at some point later next year I’d achieve that, sadly that’s not going to happen now.
I was targeting 5000 for the Outciders list and looks like I’ll fall short with still 91 left…
The funny thing is I know the stat is wrong, after the styles were redone and split out it doesn’t include the sub-categories (e.g. the Mead sub-categories, Cider - Flavoured etc aren’t included) so in reality I’m beyond it already, but am still chasing that stat none the less!
"The following are those with the most ratings Mead, Cider, Ice Cider and Perry…
One is an Australian cider, White cider is a UK phenomenon based on producing cheap industrial “cider” usually around tax thresholds.
The Hubz cider is a definite clutching at straws.
Can’t remember the last time i saw a tramp sitting on a bench outside B&M drinking his way through a small batch cider fermented from crushed apples in a BIAB.
White cider is a culture, a celebration, a nullifyer amongst the piss smelling inhabitants of Britains streets, a three litre bottle to be shared with your benchmate. It is the nectar amongst the underbelly of society, a unifyer of comrades of the soup kitchen. White cider is the pinacle of getting fuckfaced whilst waiting for your next benefits cheque.
It is not a mere trinket, to be abused for the pleasure of your own autistic ratings.
When the lord appears on earth once again (probably after february 1st) he will say " What the Fuck! This white cider tastes shit".
Thats a fair point on those 2 - so I need 3 proper white ciders now if anyone has a trade
In the meantime will be out scouring the local B&M and bargain booze shops just like in the good old days of ratebeer
Cant think of a better way to complete rate beer than a final rate from a 3L plastic bottle of tramp juice to gain the White Cider King crown (tho think I may have left my run too late for that…)
