Aha, so I don’t need to drink ~7000 more beers to make it to the Top 50 raters list, I just need a sex change op :-).

Yup. If I’m out I’ll take tasting notes on my phone. These reviews are very basic though and I replace them with a full one if I encounter the beer again.

If I have the bottle then I won’t drink it unless I have time to rate it.

Eh, I used to be anal about it, but now I tend to redrink a lot of beers. I still get samplers and try new local stuff and when I travel, but mostly not.

Well, of course I rate every beer I drink (isn’t that the point of being here?....and am not even talking beer shots because how should you be able to rate a beer with one sip?), but I don’t buy every beer (anymore) that crosses my way esp. not high alcoholized canned beer...

Oh, and I can’t rate the 1000s of homebrews I’ve had, so I guess that plays a role into how I don’t rate all beers offered.

I had only one homebrew ever and it was pretty darn good. Mead. Anyway if rate beer lets you rate cider and mead why not homebrew as long as it has been traded and isn’t rated by the brewer?

PS I also don’t see this as a premium only feature.

That’s what I also don’t understand...especially for the "Overall" rating but also the appearance, I think to see the real appearance you must fill its glass properly.

No, not every beer. I hardly ever rate anything at fests, and only rate maybe 1/4th of the beers I have at tastings. If I’m at home, then there’s about a 99.9% chance I’m going to rate it.

I figure if I went back and rated all the beers I’ve ever tasted, there’d be about another 300 or so to tack on.
