I noticed that the some of the recipes I've posted get far more hits than others. Time to take a closer look.

I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my old favourites, Younger's No. 3, top the list. And that there were two Milds in the top 10, Lees and Tetley. Though several home brewers have told me how much they like the Lees Best Mild and how the regularly make it.

That Harp Lager fell just outside the top 20 is quite a shock. Then again, Harp is a beer that weqirdly fascinates me.

If I'm honest, many of the results baffle me. Why the lack of love for Lees Stout? And how come Devenish Porter beats Ben Truman?

Sorry being a bit lazy today.
