Nice. 367 reviews in 3 days. I can’t type that fast. You don’t need to ! Ctrl C, Ctrl V and enter 5 numbers. repeat 123 times a day, not so much of an ask
Message KyotoLefty P beers 15123 º places 1061 º 04:34 Tue 10/21/2014 What do you do when you go into a craft beer bar and they have plagiarized your ratings for their menu descriptions? Happened once to ShoulderBroken and me. Funny part was the literalness of it. Included things like "A bit boring."...
Message HaStuMiteZen99 beers 1111 º places 27 º 05:23 Tue 10/21/2014 I pray to God that someone wrote a script that does this automatically. The thought that there is someone out there whose life is so empty that manually entering 367 copy-pasted ratebeer reviews, in 3 days, seems like a good idea is too depressing to contemplate.

Message JoeTheYounger beers 1183 º places 50 º 12:20 Tue 10/21/2014 Why even rate if you’re going to do that? Just use the ticking feature if you want to document what you’ve tasted.

Message Freaky_tiki beers 1770 º places 28 º 13:35 Tue 10/21/2014 The funny thing is the guy didn’t even drink those beers. He rated an entire brewery’s output, including a beer that doesn’t even exist (don’t ask but I know). It makes it an even more empty & pathetic life. I will be disappointed if his account & imaginary ratings aren’t removed.

Message obguthr beers 11734 º places 22 º 17:24 Tue 10/21/2014 This is a disturbing trend for the site. I hope it is dealt with swiftly and certainly.
Message drfabulous beers 15626 º places 239 º 18:44 Tue 10/21/2014 Local bar used one of my reviews to describe a beer on tap. I thought it was funny.
