I am George and I have reached beer geekdom. One of those raters that will try anything at least once. Lean more towards stouts,
porters and dopplebocks as my favorites with a recent newfound enjoyment of bitters - but just not enough of those to go around here in this
beer wasteland of north Florida. Most of my ratings are from traveling and just have not done enough of that recently!<HR>
Introduced to the site by <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=1976>Aurelius who I still regularly swap beers with. I am currently an Admin on site - my specialty is looking for minor annoying corrections - misspellings, missing ABVs, incorrect brewer websites, closed breweries etc.
<HR>
On the OT Forums I am a quieter and gentler conservative and my goal in life is to rid the use of "retarded" as an adjective to describe something that is unbelievable or stupid. Tough job, but someone has to do it!
