I don't own any copies of the Good Beer Guide.<BR/><BR/>An aside: how comprehensive and encyclopedic is the Good Beer Guide? I'd like to see how the mean OG across all beers changes from year to year. But that would only be valuable if a reasonably wide and unbiased sample of beers is in the GBG.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, Ron is firing top darts with this project. Very valuable work that I'm amazed hasn't been done already. 180 to team Pattinson!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-59605240725501426602008-06-20T00:37:00.000-07:002008-06-20T00:37:00.000-07:00Ron,The earlist GBG I have is 1976 - I'll do that ...Ron,<BR/><BR/>The earlist GBG I have is 1976 - I'll do that one for you if you like (and if I enjoy that, I might sign up for another).

My time's pretty limited at the moment, though, so maybe it's best if I leave the GBG stuff to others and concentrate on the Almanac data.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-72254059134071626792008-06-19T10:00:00.000-07:002008-06-19T10:00:00.000-07:00I can do a few letters tonight, I'll check back on...I can do a few letters tonight, I'll check back once I've got home.<BR/><BR/>Careful with using the GBG, though.

Should have B and C done by tonight. Also, I'll see about picking up additional years of the guide cheaply.Mark Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151857584483533199noreply@blogger.com
