Most popular posts of the year

This is an idea I nicked from the Beervana blog. And why not? The internet is a plagiarism paradise.

It turns out the two most popular posts by a very long way are both from 2018. In fact, only four of the posts are from this year.

What does this list tell us? Not very much. Other than that people are very interested in the price of beer. I suppose that's not such a shock. More surprising is that the first recipe is at number nine. And there was me thinking recipes were the most popular of my posts.

I'm looking at the posts listed on the left of the most popular posts ever for the blog, and there are a few head scratchers there, such as this one:

https://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/2012/06/technical-post.html

and a post on beer in North Korea.

I'm curious whether they're linked somewhere that makes robots pick them up, or if there is some magic combination of words makes them especially appealing to search engines.
