When Will You "Retire?"

I might be retired from rating, still like to troll the forums from time to time.

Why? boredom?. Maybe you can retire from rating beers, but not from adding/reviewing places, adding new beers/breweries. This is so useful, and i like it. So i will keep doing so.

I’m fairly close to retired, but I still rate at least one beer a month to keep my streak alive (only person to rate a beer during every month that ratebeer has existed).
And I’ll check on the forums once or twice a month, and I’ll rate a place if I visit a new place, which is rare.

got a few more years til my pension is looking good. but knowing joet he’ll probably freeze those next year and give us all 401k.

I’ve basically quite rating. I judge a ton of competitions now and between that and drinking homebrews, I’ve gotten more introspective with beer. I don’t feel like I need to write reviews anymore. It was playing too much of a role in anti-social stuff. I still attend tastings on occasion, but I have a lot more fun just drinking beer than I do writing about it for next to no reason. I’ve internalized most all of my ratings at this point.

When they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Much like actors and musicians there is no need to formally retire. If i don’t feel like it i won’t, which sometimes happens already, but I can always come back. How else will i pass the time in the nursing home?

I will retire when I expire.

There’s more to ratebeer than rating beer.
