Is it possible to show the amount of votes per brew so we can see which beers are more prefered over others.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty sad state of affairs if the Little Creatures Pale is number one!
ReplyDeleteLike Triple J's Hottest 100, we decided not to get into how many exact votes what beer got. The ranking gives a simpler idea of which beers are preferred..
ReplyDeleteAnd LC's Pale Ale is a terrific drop and a not-surprising #1 given it is distributed so widely across Australia.
Any summary or photos of the day's events?
ReplyDeleteIf #99 was a tie, that makes the complete 100. The beers listed at #100 should be = 101st
ReplyDeleteHa, you're right!! Thanks for pointing that out.
ReplyDeleteThat means Carlton Draught wouldn't make the Hottest 100. Yay!
Nothing by Carlton would be anywhere near the top 100 methinks...
ReplyDeleteEven the Stella they make here is rubbish!
son of a beast at 75 !!! what a joke !
ReplyDeletesad state of affairs chris? i guess the multiple international and national gold medal wins its had at many different beer awards/competitions must have been rigged huh...
ReplyDeleteI guess all this healthy debate means 1 thing...
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE should get up and vote for their fav of 2009 to make sure they're happy with the results....the more votes the better!
