Highest rated breweries on untappd10/30/2023 Probably not, but I guarantee that 4-star Vienna Lager is better than most 4-star IPAs (and there’s plenty of those in the world). Top Vienna Lager: Fourth Wave, Breakside Brewery,Īre you kidding me?! The top vienna lager, a style consumed in 1000 times the quantity of double IPA, has only 4 stars? I wonder if any of those 3,000 people knew they were drinking the highest rated Vienna lager in the world? Top Double IPA: King JJJulius, Tree House Brewing Co. Beers with tons of flavor potential like Imperial barrel aged stouts, triple-dry-hopped hazy IPAs, and fruited sour beers generally get higher ratings than their less interesting siblings (Helles, Pilsner, Wit, Pale Lager, etc).Įxample: From the Top Rated Beer list per Untappd Let’s be bold and call it the Universal Theory of Untappd.Ĭollectively, enthusiasts rate a beer primarily on how interesting we find said beer, and only beer enthusiasts rate beers. That’s a high bar.īut I have a theory on this particular matter. For example, I liberally give out 5 star ratings for superb beers, regardless of style, but I know others who only give 5 stars for beers that literally alter their lives. It’s difficult to say because we all have our own individual scale for what any number of stars means. Those 3.5 stars represent what? Quality? Your taste? Your friends taste? Overall level of outrageousness? Clarity/color/mouthfeel/aroma? An amalgamation of all the above? But that’s the piece I have a problem with. Untappd users (myself included) look at a rating for a given beer and make a lightning fast, implicit assumption that the 3.5 star beer is exactly and unequivocally that. This is the same winning combination that makes sports so appealing, so obviously the creators were on to something.īut there’s one flaw to the whole beautiful thing. The premise of Untappd is amazing - a social app combining craft beer, friends, and stats. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Get on your smart phone and download it. We’re going to get brutally honest about Untappd here.
