2020 Beer Drinking Stats

Time to delve into my beer drinking statistics for last year. Frankly, there was not a lot of variance when you are drinking primarily 16oz cans. No tasters, no half pints, no magnums this year. Let’s do the numbers…

Let’s get some basic stats out of the way first. The average ABV over the course of the year was 6.79%. I drank on average just shy of 160 ounces per 5 day week.

Style wise IPA made up 52.85% of the beers. Sour and/or barrel aged a measly 7.6% and the Other category was 39.55%. Next year I might try to add more styles to the mix to see more detailed data.

My top ten most drunk from breweries starts with my favorite Firestone Walker, then to Sierra Nevada and Stone in the next two spots. All three regionals that could be found anywhere one shopped. Local Eagle Rock was fourth leading the LA parade. Followed by Los Angeles Ale Works, Smog City, Angel City, Boomtown and Brewyard. Tied for tenth was Santa Monica Brew Works and The Bruery.

Drinking Stats – 2018 Q1

The drinking stats are back! I set a fairly ambitious goal for 2018. Bring my average ounces drunk, per week down to 175. In current terms that is a shade under 11 – 16oz cans of hazy IPA.

So far, I am doing well with the average ounces per week at 171.92. The high week in the first quarter was 200 and the low was 162.40. Most of the weeks have come in an ounce or two under that 175 target.

My other goal was to get the split between the Big 3 (IPA, Sour and Barrel-Aged) down to 50% compared to, literally, all other styles. Right now, I am off by nearly 4% which means that I need to be buying more lagers and saisons for starters.

Some other stats:
Average ABV – 6.62% with a high week of 7.23% avg. and low of 5.94%.
Average dollar spend is $41.57 with a high week of $64.02 and low of $22.99.

And my favorite beers so far are as follows:
Angel City Public House Saison
Burial Beer Co. Ceremonial Session IPA
Homage One Evening Guava Sour
Finback Cosmic Vibration Coconut IPA
