The Brewery League Table
(correct up to 15/02/2012)
How it works…
Only breweries with 3 or more reviews included.
Breweries are rated on:
Firstly average rating out of seven. If a tie, then number of reviews, then the best ale they have, then SD (standard deviation) which shows how consistent the brewery is – the smaller the value the more consistent. The % is the average strength of ale from the brewer – this is not included in the league table positioning.
The Zones
All breweries with an average score above 5 are included in the brown zone. Those with an average between 4 and 5 are in the orange zone. 3 to 4 are the yellow zone and below three 3 is the red zone –warning!
