To have a top 10 most checked in pub & ale (weekly updated)

Hi filmcritic, 

Good idea! I have put this onto our 'roadmap' - we are working on a slight website re-design at the moment, to increase user-friendliness and add a few new features, so this can fit in nicely with that. The re-design should be live in a month or so, so I'd expect this to be out around then as well. I'll update this post to that effect when this happens as well. 

The one tweak we're thinking about is for beers. The most checked-in pubs over the past week is an excellent addition - this number often varies, so it would be a very nice and dynamic table, promoting a range of new pubs. 

With beers however, the most checked-in ones are usually the same, week after week, due to their national availability. This would mean that the list would be rather static and populated by a few very familiar badges. 

So instead of check-ins, we figured we'd base the list on beer reviews. This way, you'd see the highest rated beers for that particular week. A table like that would often feature seasonal beers, special releases and so forth and would therefore always have something new for users to discover and enjoy. Does that sound good? Or would you still say that beer check-ins are the better variable? 

Others - please feel free to comment as well! We can always change things around if something doesn't work, but it's nice to get things right from the very start occasionally...  ;)

Hi, really like this ideas of reviewing/rating both beer and premises. I am a landlord and a consumer - so see both sides of the fence. I think that people don't always review beers they are drinking but usually (with a bit of encouragement) check in their beer. Perhaps some sort of ratio of number of users who check against how many beers they drink. I have some guys who come in every day have 4/5 pints - they could check in a lot of beer, but maybe is only 2/3 users. So if using the app to find somewhere to have a real beer - a lot of beer check ins doesn't always mean that it's a busy pub. I have also suggested a similar addition on a separate topic regarding this.
