Their overall average beer score on Untappd is 3.67 (out of 5). By comparison, DC Brau has a 3.67, Union Craft in Baltimore has a 3.77, Troeggs (also in Hershey) has a 3.79, Dogfish Head has a 3.84, and Other Half (multiple locations including DC) has a 4.23.
Is there a Mendoza line for brewery scores? DC Brau and Union may not be top shelf but both have very good beers in their line up. Just gotta avoid the ones that suck.
They both produce a fair share of unpopular beer styles, which tend to get lower ratings. Breweries that stick mostly to hazies, pastries, and fruities are going to naturally get higher ratings.
That said, the mediocre score for Strangeways is right on the money.

my new fav. had been trying to find a British Mild Ale and found this at mylhbs and was very happy and would buy again
Judging a brewery on their avg Untapped score is like judging a band on how many shows they did on a tour…

Edited to say I agree with Space, particularly about Strangeways.
A brewery’s bottom line score isn’t a good indicator by itself. A brewery can belt out really solid stuff but also suck at others. Just stick to the good stuff.

Wheatfield is prominently displayed in this month’s issue of Imbibe magazine. Good for them!

That might have a kernel of truth if they adjusted the scores up based on quantity of reviews, but I don't think that's the case with Untappd.
If you're comparing beer ratings with music numbers, perhaps overall Untappd scores are analagous to overall Metacritic scores for an artist.

In those situations, you die of hunger and never step foot into a TGIF.

Looks like I may finally get to go to the Other Half DC spot but a quick look at the menu shows the following on draft…
One Hard Seltzer - wtf?
One Pils
One Sour
Seventeen IPAs!!!
Kinda bummed to be honest.

OH is definitely a one-trick pony. If you want variety, go to Wheatland Spring, Elder Pine, or road trip it down to Triple Crossing.

Would love to get to Wheatland, but just too damn far…
Elder Pine is on the list, but we typically hit Waredaca or Lone Oak in that area.
Can't see me ever getting to Triple Crossing. I take it back, I was there like four years ago.

Why anyone hits up Lone Oak is beyond me. Yet, plenty of people do.
