BeerAdvocate.com Becomes the Largest Beer Community in the World
A Powerful Voice for Beer Consumers
BOSTON, MA (March 16, 2007) - BeerAdvocate.com celebrates 100,000
website members this week, making the grassroots network of beer
enthusiasts and industry professionals the largest of its kind in the
world.
"We're honored to be surrounded by such a large group of people who
appreciate beer as much as we do," said Todd Alström, co-founder of
BeerAdvocate.
"This is a major milestone for beer," added brother and co-founder,
Jason Alström. "When we started over 10 years ago, few people were
using the Internet for beer, let alone using our website. Today, we're
a powerful voice for beer consumers, thanks to the dedication,
passion, and support of our users. Cheers to them!"
BeerAdvocate.com offers its users an invaluable resource, including
the ability to: discuss beer-related topics, search and review beers &
places, find beer events, create local BeerAdvocate member gatherings,
learn about beer styles and how to serve them, read the latest beer
news, and become part of like-minded community who share a passion for
learning more about beer. Membership is free.
Nearly 90% of its users hail from the United States, 3.2% from Canada,
1.3% from the United Kingdom, 1% from Australia, and the remainder
from 188 different countries. Current page impressions exceed 5
million each month.
Throughout 2007, the Alström Bros are preparing to launch several
viral marketing campaigns to raise awareness for beer. "We can always
do more for the industry and its image," explained Todd Alström, "and
that's what being a BeerAdvocate is all about."

It's one thing to put a spin on statistics and another to put out
completely false information. The Goat Bros have outdone themselves
this time with complete bullshit information that doesn't represent a
shred of reality. It's a shame they think their audience is as stupid
as they are.
