Beer rating is one of the more enjoyable things we do at Shipwater. It allows us to drink a variety of beers (good & bad) and give out our opinion. And, since this is only our opinion of the beer... we're NEVER wrong!
Like most beer ratings, we rate on 4 categories: Look, smell, feel, and taste. We also dish out some bonus points for whether or not we'd buy the beer again. Just because a beer ranks high or low doesn't influence whether it would be bought again. Michelob Ultra, for example, recently rated low on our blog, but I assure you it will be bought again at our house.
A letter grade of A+ thru F is assigned to each of the categories by those reviewing the beers. Each letter grade has a corresponding number:
99 for A+
95 for A
90 for A-
89 for B+
85 for B
...
Then, a bonus points are assigned or taken away (+3 for buy again, 0 for maybe, -3 for wouldn't buy again). After all is added up, we average the scores and come up with the overall grade out of 100.
Nothing too scientific, but a whole lot of fun. So read our reviews, try the beers, and rate for yourself. That is the best thing about beer and wine... there is always another brand or type to try.
Cheers!
