The Museum Turns 9 Years Old, Part 2: Individual Tap Statistics

In Part 2 of my series of anniversary posts, it's time to take a look at individual tap statistics. To revisit the concept, I'm listing which taps generate the most page views on the site. I've divided the rankings based on the year that I profiled the tap, so I've listed the 20 taps with the most views for Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, and Year 7. Since fewer taps were profiled in Year 6, Year 8, and Year 9 (this year), only the top 10 will be ranked for those years. The number in parenthesis is the previous year's ranking if different than the current year; "NR" means the tap was not on the list last year. The first tap on the list has the most views, and the other taps follow in descending order.

There was a little shuffling within each year, although only year 8 had new entries. Year 2 and Year 8 also had a new #1. In fact, the Moddy Brew taps have captured the top spots in back to back years, with Gorgon Conquest taking this year's top spot. The most surprising change was the Sapporo Samurai sword displacing the Pabst Pink Elephants to take the top spot in Year 2.
