List: Top Ten Beers
Date: as of 7th August 2006
Source: Beer Advocate
Base: All beers reviewed by viewers of the Beer Advocate website.
Notes: Maximum score is five. The general formula uses a Bayesian estimate: weighted rank (WR) = (v / (v+m)) x R + (m / (v+m)) x C, where: R = review average for the beer, v = number of reviews for the beer, m = minimum reviews required to be listed (currently 10), C = the mean across the list (3.64).
Currently, a beer must have 10 or greater reviews to be included in any calculations.
We also have a top ten beer list from beer.trash.net website, an ongoing poll, figures collated in 2006.
