RateBeer – this is both fun & useful!

Thanks to LifeHacker I was pointed to RateBeer the other day. RateBeer is a good site with a really simply concept. Let people rate beer! Love it… In order to pad out this post here is the “about us” blurb from RateBeer:

RateBeer is widely recognized as the most accurate and *most-visited source for beer information. RateBeer is an independent world site for craft beer enthusiasts and is dedicated to serving the entire craft beer community through beer education, promotion and outreach.

RateBeer was founded in May 2000 by Bill Buchanan as a forum for beer lovers to come together and share their opinions of beer and breweries. Established and maintained by dedicated volunteers, RateBeer has become the premier resource for consumer-driven beer ratings, features on beer culture and industry events, weekly beer-related editorials, and an internationally recognized, semi-annual RateBeer Best competition. The community now has thousands of members from more than 60 countries who have rated tens of thousands of beers from around the world. Our mission is to provide independent, unbiased, consumer-driven information about beer and breweries and to enhance the image and worldwide appreciation of beer.

This also reminds me that simple ideas are often the best one. Which should be simple enough to remember but easy to forget… Hey, I know what was I doing reading Lifehacker? Well its sort of the Heat magazine of the blogosphere and even I like a little mind numbing brain candy.
