No, just redundant and (IMO and for lack of a better word) divisive.

There's nothing wrong with increased exposure, increased opportunity for discussion, and more viewpoints on the merits of various breweries and beers. Saying we already have enough isn't too far from the mindset of people who love a particular band but then get ****ed off when they start actually selling records. (God, am I old. I still use the word "records.") -Steve |

That makes as much : sense to me as saying a new good beer pub opening up in town is divisive. : Sorry, bad choice of words and I can't think of a better one. What I mean id that I find myself dividing my time between a lot of these various web sites, adjusting to the different styles of presentation, trying to remember the threads I'm interested in, where I've posted etc. What I should have said is: I need another beer related web site like <indert negative simile of your choice here>. This is my personal preference and I certainly did not intend to start a flame war or heated debate. Sorry if I offended anyone. That was not my intention. -- Bill reply to sirwill1 AT same domain as above |

Oh, I don't think anyone was offended or viewed it as a flame. Just a ripe opportunity for some spirited discussion. We don't get a lot of that around here anymore. Maybe because of all those web sites. (Yes, that's said tongue-in-cheek.) -Steve |
What's different? Our site specializes in brewpubs, arranged by state. The
reviews are our own in depth opinions, not just a copy of a menu blurb. On request we provide a form for submitting your own review in the same format. It's a simple, fast loading site with a speciaized theme. Thanks for all the discussion!

Oh, I don't think that's fair to most of the reviews I've seen on BeerAdvocate. To be honest, the reviews I saw on your website read more like "Mystery Muncher" restaurant reviews, a format that makes my skin crawl...but that's just me. But I've never seen any reviews on BA, ratebeer, or Pubcrawler that looked like a "menu blurb." I think we should all be a bit more fair here. > On > request we provide a form for submitting your own review in the same format. > It's a simple, fast loading site with a speciaized theme.
