Beer Goals 2014 - Result

My beer goals for 2014 were as follows:

• Get from 92 to 100 Ratebeer countries      [Goal reached 2014-10-28]
• Get from 22 to 32 US states      [Goal reached 2014-10-26]
• Get from 2 to 6 Canadian provinces      [Current status: 4]
• Get last eight English counties      [Current status: four left]
• Get last four German Bundesländer      [Goal reached 2014-12-25]
• Get last two styles      [Current status: one left]

On the positive side I managed to get from 92 to 121 countries, from 22 to 35 US states and I rated the last four German Bundesländer. So three out of six goals reached.

On the flip side, I only managed to rate two new Canadian provinces, four of the remaining English counties and one of the missing styles. I will try harder in 2015 to reach these goals :-).
