Message MatSciGuy beers 924 º 12:46 Fri 6/24/2016 Originally posted by Skyview Team, First, if any beer is distributed/served where no transfer of funds occurs, and/or not available to the general public, the beer CAN NOT be entered into the database. Second, according to ratebeer’s guidelines on tax-paid beer entries, here is what we have: 1) If Oakhold Farmhouse Brewery has both Federal and State Licenses, then any beer distributed as Oakhold’s can be entered into the database under their own entity. 1a) If any licensed Oakhold Farmhouse released beers to the public are brewed at another location (e.g. Fair State COOP) but released as Oakhold’s, then the beer is entered into the database under their own entity but has to list the actual brewer that owns the equipment as a Contract Brewer. 2) If Oakhold Farmhouse Brewery does NOT have both State and Federal licenses but releases their beer to the general public for purchase and consumption, then the beer can be entered into the database as a Contract Brewer / Client Brewer collaboration, and placed in the Contract Brewer’s entity page. (e.g.: Fair State / Oakhold Blood Orange Sour). The location where the beer was brewed must be listed first. 2a) Once Oakhold Farmhouse receives both Federal and State licenses then Oakhold Farmhouse can have their beers listed under their own entity. If any pre-licensed beer is remade after the licenses issue, then the original collaboration beer remains in the original location but has an aliased link to the new beer entry. So the question is, does Oakhold Farmhouse Brewery have both Federal and State licenses? If the answer is no and the beer is available for purchase, then it gets entered into the database as "Fair State / Oakhold (name of beer)" under Fair State COOP entity. If the beer is not available for purchase but is given away as a free sample, this would be treated the same as it was a home brew. Hope this makes sense. Oakhold is not a licensed brewery (yet). The beer is legally Fair State’s beer, but as they can call it whatever name they would like, they’re calling it ’Oakhold _________’ because it comes from barrels that Caleb and I put our special cultures in and because Fair State is awesome and is providing us a means to experiment/refine, share beer that we played a major part in creating, and get some exposure to the greater public. I’m not willing to jeopardize that so a couple of people can get ticks. The issue is not whether the beer can be added to the database - Bob has demonstrated that it can, based on RB policy. The issue is that neither Oakhold nor Fair State would like the beers added to the database.
Message Skyview P admin beers 6263 º 12:51 Fri 6/24/2016 Since Oakhold Farmhouse and Fair State are asking ratebeer not to enter them in the database, we will respect their request.
