International Beer Guides Now Available
We've added beer friendly locations in 18 new international countries. New establishments in places like Australia, Belgium, Germany, UK, etc. We'll be adding other international establishments from our back log of user submissions over the next week or two. With that more international countries will appear.

Postal Codes for Canada Added
Today we added postal code data for all of Canada. In excess of 700,000 postal codes were added.

With this addition you are now able to run searches for Canada with mile range specified. This will allow you to find places within the distance you want to travel from your point of origin (home, hotel, etc.).

A New NEARBY Feature and the Lost Reviews
1. We are happy to announce the addition of NEARBY functionality for Canada. Our nearby function is seen most notably on any establishment review page on the left most column and is labeled ALTERNATIVES.

The nearby features are important for all travelers and provide you with one screen details plus alternative establishment names just in case the place you were headed to is closed when you get there.

2. We are aware of a major misfiling of many reviews that were reimported a while back - following us losing them in a major system crash. Sometime over the next week we will be carving out the entire batch we imported originally and reimporting the data. The goal is to fix the misfiling problem.

02/19 Ropewalk Update and New Feature
As our regular visitors know and have probably read, we have a free speech issue with Ropewalk Tavern in Baltimore. We encourage you to visit Ropewalk yourself and tell us about your experience.  We don't think they are bad people, we just think it's unfortunate that they can't take constructive criticism from our reviewers. Using the legal system in an attempt to silence freedom is a very unAmerican thing.

We have been contacted by several writers for 'well-known' publications that are reviewing the story and considering pening some articles for their respective publications.

People have posted some really interesting responses and from them we have just added a new feature to handle problem reviews. Since we aren't editors or publishers, all of your reviews when submitted go live. At times people exercising poor judgement exercise their freedom and post off-topic messages. 

Now, within each review we have a link called "Report Review". That link will give you a form you can complete to ask for a review to be removed. It's simple- provide your email and reason for us to remove the review.

We have some smart technology behind it so that when a few real people complain about a review the system will automatically pull the review.  That's a work in process so don't expect it to be wonderful and don't try to stuff the ballot box.
