A Wide World of Beer Reviews
About Reviews
I like to review beers that I enjoy or I think others will enjoy, even if they’re not my personal favorite. I don’t post negative reviews. I have a limited amount of time and would prefer to spend it talking about positive things. I may make some constructive criticism, but I won’t bash a beer or a brewery. The reviews I do are unsolicited and are beers that I’ve chosen to review because they sound interesting.
If I do have a solicited review, I’ll clearly note that the samples were sent to me by a brewery. On solicited reviews, I’ll probably be more critical, but still polite, than I would on a beer I choose to write about, but if You’re asking me to review your beer I’m assuming you want an honest opinion. If you’d like to send me samples, please use the Contact button below or email me at beer(at)ithinkaboutbeer(dot)com and we can discuss it.
Organizational Notes
Reviews are organized by country and in the case of the United States, subdivided by state. To begin your journey through the hundreds of reviews, simply click the region of the beers you're interested in viewing.
