New Beers Arriving This Week!!

Welcome back everyone. It's been a little while since my last post, and I apologize for the delay.

Welcome Back! This article, in which I rank the beers that we currently have in stock, is the start of something new that I thought of while speaking to some of my co-workers as we brainstormed new methods of speaking craft beer. How It Works: In "Craft Beer Power Rankings," we highlight our expansive collection of craft beers by first grouping our beers into categories based on style of beer (IPA, Stout, Sour, etc.) We then rank the top 10 beers that we currently have in stock in each group. We rank the beers by distilling several important pieces of information relating to each beer into one aggregate score. We calculate the scores of each beer based on a number of factors, including each beer's Untappd score, Rate Beer  score, and overall reputation of the brewery that brewed each beer. Top 10 IPAs In Stock (Week of 4/16) 10.) Maine Brewing (Maine): Woods & Waters IPA (6.2% ABV, Format: 16.9oz Bottle)   Untappd: 4/5  Ratebeer: 98/100 From The Horse's
