Message Travlr beers 33887 º places 4583 º 09:22 Sat 1/31/2015 Originally posted by Lothore Let me know if you ever make it back to Russian river travlr ... I live 15 minutes away. Will do. One of my potential retirement scenarios involves me moving into Russian River with a sleeping bag, and writing my beer memoirs at the last table in the back on the right. Just the right triangulated distance from the band, the taplist and the men’s room. I would never have to leave.

Message Desverger beers 29281 º places 383 º 13:03 Sun 2/1/2015 Originally posted by Jow Originally posted by TheHOFF43 What are the top 100? Click Places Tab, then click highest rated places yellow button in top right Cheers. Never even realised that, only been to 3 of the top 50 there. Work meant to be sending us to the Stockholm office soon so will defiantly have to take in the number 1 in the world (Akkurat) - also long overdue a trip to Brussels. So should double my total count in the top 50 by end of year :)

Message Lothore beers 650 º places 82 º 08:23 Thu 2/19/2015 Originally posted by mdg164 I’d put very little stock in to that list. Prohibition pig, which would have probably been the #1 spot on my list is #79. Meanwhile, Tired hands, one of the worst places I have ever been comes in at #80. I just went to tired hands and I rated it higher than any place in the area (capones, monks, Theresa’s). I guess we balance each other out!
Message phaleslu P admin beers 16533 º places 792 º 08:42 Thu 2/19/2015 Damn 8/50 and 12/100. Thought I’d be better than that. It sure feels like I’ve been to some incredible places, which is really reassuring - there’s a lot of great stuff out there! (Of course, a few that are in that 12 have been boosted by phony ratings, but whatever.)

Well clearly many people disagree with you. It may not be applicable to you, but it’s more applicable than any randomly generated list by a single person. Prohibition Pig is really awesome, I agree. But just because it is your #1 has nothing to do with what world raters think collectively is #1. It also sounds like you may have a personal beef with Tired Hands as they make some of the highest rated beers on the planet and make a huge variety of them to boot. I think some people may dislike visiting Tired Hands not because of the quality of their beers (which IMO are really overrated), but because of the layout, environment, and lack of non-pretensious "farm to fork" overpriced food. Their beer pours are pretty small and overpriced too. I think they’re just not for me; I live about 15 minutes away and haven’t been there in a year.
Message KyotoLefty P beers 15093 º places 1059 º 09:52 Thu 2/19/2015 Of that list, Acurrat is ip there. But mainly I want to hit small local breweries in Franconia and the Czech republic. And also Colorado.

Message Erlangernick beers 6 º places 2 º 02:02 Fri 2/20/2015 Originally posted by JAXSON ... I think some people may dislike visiting Tired Hands not because of the quality of their beers (which IMO are really overrated), but because of the layout, environment, and lack of non-pretensious "farm to fork" overpriced food. Please help me understand. Is "farm to fork" food pretentious or non-pretentious? Is it normally overpriced? Would it be better if it were over-priced? Or is the problem that there is pretentious f-t-f overpriced food, but it should either be non-pretentious or not overpriced? Or industrialized, growth-hormone- & antibiotic-laden McFood instead? Really not sure I’m grasping the complaint here. (Never been to the place, though I have heard the name before.)
Message BlackHaddock P beers 15453 º places 1053 º 06:40 Tue 2/24/2015 8/50 and 5/51-100: Been to one other on each list, but they were closed when I tried to get in. Didn’t know there was a top 100 list to be honest. Not something I would follow, as I have disagreed with a lot of the scores given on this site by some people. <*))))))><
