![]() So that’s what you found? Every beer brewed by Hill Farmstead and Trillium were in the Top 250?Ī4. Basically, we thought it would be pretty strange if 100% of the beers brewed by any given brewery were all in the Top 250. Alright, so imagine that Hill Farmstead and Trillium only produced 20 beers per brewery, and also imagine that every single one of those beers were in the Top 250. So what’s going on with those breweries?Ī3. But still, having 20 beers in the Top 250 like Hill Farmstead and Trillium did just seems crazy. Interestingly, even though there are only 8 outlier breweries out of a total of 86 breweries in the Top 250, those 8 breweries contributed a combined total of 89 beers to the Top 250, or 35.60%. ![]() By the way, 3 Fonteinen and Cantillon are both Belgian breweries, the rest are American. Next, you had Brasserie Cantillon with 8, Tree House with 13, and as you know, both Hill Farmstead and Trillium both had 20 beers each in the Top 250. Of the outlier breweries, there were four that had 7 beers each in the Top 250 which included Russian River, Toppling Goliath, 3 Fonteinen, and Prairie Artisan Ales. Basically any brewery with more than 6 beers in the Top 250 would be considered a statistical outlier as you can see in the box plot graph below: We identified a total of 8 outlier breweries. But Trillium and Hill Farmstead weren’t the only outlier breweries with a statistically high number of beers in the Top 250, so what were the other ones?Ī2. Really impressive? I don’t know- it seems a little bit more than unusual to me. If having one beer in the Top 250 is impressive, what do you call having 20? This means that nearly 1 out of every 6 beers in the Top 250 was either from Trillium or Hill Farmstead. and Hill Farmstead Brewery, both had exactly 20 beers each in the Top 250. However, what was unusual was that two breweries, namely Trillium Brewing Co. In fact the average number of beers per brewery in the Top 250 was 2.91, so it wasn’t all that unusual for a brewery to have more than one beer in the Top 250. Right, so there were 86 breweries in total in the Top 250, and 45 of those breweries had more than one beer on the list. What can you tell me about those breweries?Ī1. But there were actually several breweries that had more than one beer in the Top 250. Last time you mentioned that there were 210,023 different beers listed on BeerAdvocate, so to have a brewery with even a single beer in the Top 250 was impressive. Now on with the Q & A… The Outlier Breweries Today, we pick up where we left off by taking a closer look at what we affectionately refer to as “the outlier breweries.”
