How come the great beer XXXX is rated below the awful YYYY?
We started out as complete amateurs, and even if some of us now actually has aquired some small pieces of knowledge we will always have to live with our old ratings. We also continously accept new members. Add to that that we consist of a lot of different people with different preferences, and that this is done just for fun. We know that some beers are terribly underrated, and that some are way too high up, it’s just not such a big deal. Another thing that might influence our ratings is that, of course, the beers we get from our local micro is usually fresher than a bottle that has travelled for months from far away places to get to us. Some beers we have tried have been in terrible shape while others have been extremely fresh, and even if we wanted to there is not much we can do about it. And besides, when it all comes down to it, all opinions are subjective, These are our points of view and not some kind of universal truth we present.
