Message Werckmeister beers 6297 º places 263 º 06:30 Thu 3/26/2015 Originally posted by Marko Yeah, as we all agree, the rating system definitely needs readjustment. Your solution doesn’t however solve the issue of places where the only ratings are years old (so their scores would just drop and drop and drop)... Would take some somewhat complex adjustment I guess, though likely not impossible. There IS a weighing system already but it really doesn’t help with places with a low number of ratings. hmm, the idea was, that older ratings would weigh less in comparison to newer ratings. if there are only old ratings, then it would not change the score of the place at all, until a new rating came along. anyway, someone else would have to do the numbers :P about the low ratings for lichtenthaler, I looked at the scores of that russian guy, he seems to have an interesting rating system. as long as he sticks to it, I guess its fine :P The other recent bad rating (64) I think is competition, he rated a couple places high score places low, without leaving any text.. :P
Message ElDesmadre beers 6867 º places 428 º 10:43 Wed 4/15/2015 Originally posted by Werckmeister another place in vienna worth checking out is wieden bräu - they seem to be doing very good beers nowadays, but i have not been in a while. Please don’t go there. I’ve been there in the beginning of March and I have never ever encountered beer with such ridiculous amounts of DMS.
Message chriso P beers 7540 º places 736 º 06:19 Thu 4/16/2015 Originally posted by Marko It all boils down to the fact that some/a lot of people need to rate places more and that we need a limit to, say, 10, before they count (some kind of character limit too). This. But, unfortunately, without a lot more place reviews a 10 rating limit causes its own problems. To give an example, Nottingham is a major beer city - certainly in the top half dozen in the UK. We have 50 places listed and most of them are worthwhile, viewed from a more selective perspective. But only 6 have 10 or more reviews and, with some of those, that’s more because they’ve been around a long time than their quality. The weighting system we have at the moment pulls the scores for places with few ratings towards the middle ground. The fewer ratings, the more towards the middle the score gets pulled. So there’s a lot of clustering of the scores. If only places with 10 or more ratings displayed a score that wouldn’t produce a very helpful list for Nottingham. But the low number of reviews, coupled with the weighting system means that the ranked list we have at the moment isn’t very helpful either. However we fiddle around with the system it’s not going to improve things much without more reviews, and lots of them. To be honest though, many cities just wouldn’t get sufficient footfall even if every visiting RBian reviewed every place they went to.

If short on time maybe PiwPaw - Beer Heaven with its 95 taps? I hit a few places in Warsaw last week, strangely not Piw Paw. Ours seems to be a pretty good guide, the one place that I really loved was Chmielarnia, great tap list and the food is excellent.
