Transparent by design

How the ranking works

The report groups community submissions by normalized pub identity. Pubs appear after one linked split and rank by linked split count, then average pour rating, name, and stable ID.

What the scores mean

Activity and opinion, clearly separated

Position reflects community activity, not an editorial judgment about the best pint. Split counts and average pour ratings are shown separately so readers can see both.

Put your Chicago local on the map

Score your attempt and attach it to the pub where it was served. Every linked split helps show where the community is most active.
