I would guess that as a retailer, he sees value in shifting beer. Sitting there, it’s worth nothing apart from what the insurance company might value it at after the tragic fire a friend of a friend sets after he realised he wasn’t making any money at all from not actually shifting the stuff. Purely a guess tho’. (However, as an aside, your front-page response was 100% what I’d have written, plus extras - so thanks for that.)
Message The_Osprey beers 10591 º places 178 º 16:52 Wed 9/7/2016 Is this thread about suggestions for how to improve the site, or about criticising the way others rate or post? If the first, I dislike the robot oops and the current state of the app.

I tend to not take beer too seriously Again, not trolling, but are you saying that you work in an industry that, ultimately, isn’t that important to you?

More than anything, it made me feel like a bit of an asshat.

Legit. I wish there were more cider/apple tags in general. I have asked for a white cider tag on 3 or 4 occasions, but no luck yet. Scrumpy would be another. There are so many pointless tags out there though. "White Lightening" wtf. Go nuts http://www.ratebeer.com/tag/white-cider/ Wow thanks, much appreciated.
