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:

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.
