How's this for naval gazing - tables of statistics about the blog. Or one series of posts, Let's Brew Wednesday.

I counted 89 recipes in all, broken down by style like this:

Style No. recipes % of total average no. views
Table 2 2.25% 701
Strong Ale 4 4.49% 1003
Stout 19 21.35% 836
Scotch Ale 12 13.48% 803
Porter 4 4.49% 1345
Pale Ale 25 28.09% 755
Mild 14 15.73% 801
Lager 2 2.25% 584
Burton 7 7.87% 894
Total 89 100.00%

I'm surprised at how few Porter recipes I've posted. Fewer even than Scotch Ale or Burton.

These are the recipes in reverse order of popularity:

No surpise that a watery WW I Government Ale was the least popular and an Imperial Stout the most popular. It is heartening that the second most popular was a 1950's Dark Mild.

1804 to 1987, with every decade inbetween represented, with the exceptioon of the 1820's. I must fix that. Not a bad spread.
