Message SinH4 P beers 15466 º places 416 º 16:47 Wed 10/25/2017 Originally posted by Oakes 2623, already much more than for 2016. Going to come in comfortably over 3000 for the year, nearly double my all-time high. Part of this is just returning to having a day job, which means that I have more time to indulge this hobby than when I was travelling non-stop. But there's more to it than that. I'm going to crack 1000 British Columbian beers for the year. It took me only 20 years to get my first 1000. So there's no question that ticking has become much, much easier than it used to be. But even then, I'm at a point in the 2nd half of this year where I'm getting a crazy number of ticks without even trolling the shitty breweries. I'm thinking even 18 months ago I needed to troll every shit brewery in town to tick at half the pace I am today. The amount of good beer at my fingertips is just so much greater now than ever before. In short, trying more beers, and a higher quality level of beers both. Strange times to be a filthy ticker. We're tied right now, actually, and I agree. Also over here, it has become easier and easier to get a lot of interesting and good beer. And the fact that I did a lot of traveling into previously unknown regions, and some festivals, also helped a lot for me.

Message ebone1988 beers 2504 º places 24 º 17:56 Wed 10/25/2017 565, down from last year because I make less money but still pretty solid considering. No 5s this year yet, but I have a Bourbon Hunahpu in my possession that could change that.
Message rennat42 P beers 5357 º places 205 º 19:03 Wed 10/25/2017 I'm on my current trend of reaching 600-650 new beers this year. That's a normal year. I imagine sooner than later it'll decrease to around 400 or so.
Message b3shine P beers 12184 º places 372 º 19:22 Wed 10/25/2017 767, which is my slowest year for this time in October in quite a few. Not coincidental that my daughter is 14 months old. Some things are worth slowing down for.
