Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges.


Indeed

Yes, but I would argue just to split it up between Wallonia and Flanders.

Great. I’m very excited to hear that.
This is the list of premium members - not always admins, though! - willing to take a part of the work (if I am any good at reading between the lines) and having the expertise. They at least said that a splitting up of their/that country "can be done" or "it wouldn’t take very long".

Belgium = tderoeck or solidfunk
http://www.ratebeer.com/sendmessage/101220/ or http://www.ratebeer.com/sendmessage/128160/

Denmark = HenrikSoegaard
http://www.ratebeer.com/sendmessage/17613/

The Netherlands = Benzai
http://www.ratebeer.com/sendmessage/130058/

Poland = Radek Kliber
http://www.ratebeer.com/sendmessage/606/

Spain = Lowenbrau
http://www.ratebeer.com/sendmessage/37316/

Scotland = GlasgowTAD
http://www.ratebeer.com/sendmessage/292309/

(Japan = KansaiBeerLvrs ? )


I don’t what to impose this work onto these RB members, but if they have the time these guys are the perfect men in place.



<i />(edit: Lowenbrau added to the list)<i />



Definitely can be done, but as you already mentioned I’m not an Admin so I will have to be told an tought as to where and how I can be of any help. Up for it though, just say when.

I have no idea what kind of work would be involved in this, but for the sake of Japan, the prefecture is in the address of every brewery so I would imagine prefecture would be easier than by region.

I am looking forward to seeing Belgium split into regions, it’s a hugely important country for beer and punches well above is weight, it should be split. I also don’t buy this argument why bother it’s far too small, if you applied that argument why bother splitting anything, let’s face it England isn’t that large, I would guess the whole of England would comfortably sit within the state of California but it’s split up and it’s helpful that it’s split.

You are a legend Gene. Well done Re seeking out places and the English counties, love reading your reviews and was so pleased you loved The Grove, if that place were in a bigger city and more people knew about it. It would probably be top place in the UK and in the Top Ten worldwide

I agree with you when things are split it offers you little challenges. Btw talking of which I have just recently reclaimed my Top 5 rater of Belgian places from you, I was there for a while but I think you knocked me out, I’m back now so over to you Gene to turf me back out :-)
