Chuck Rates Beer

The 5th year for Chuck does Data Science, I challenged myself to drink a different beer everyday and rate it. The challenge was completed with no missing days (no applause necessary). I figured there could be some interesting findings from this data including what types of beer do I rate the highest/lowest, do I tend towards one type of beer, and could I make a model to predict whether I would like a new beer not in the current data set. If you follow the link you should be able to try it for yourself by following the link below. Just type in a beer select the correct one and it will be rated by Robo Chuck. There is also a calendar displaying each beer as its picture for that day. You can hover over it to see details and click on it to take you to Untappd for more info.

Data visualization and Robo Chuck can be found  here.
