drinkvine can be slow to put up the releases. This is because its done by hand. An API really has no bearing on it. For the release pages I need all the information that Greg posts, plus I need pictures, supporting text, rate beer and beer advocate links, plus the scores from the two sites. Its then...

264184 / DDC Corne du Diable IPA / 341 / $2.90

I think this product number used to be a 4 pack.. Greg are you sure it's going back to singles? It's not like the LCBO to change the product format without changing the product number as well.

That's entirely possible.

Good link btw. Looks like I must have been imagining the orange hue as there is no mention of it there. I went back and checked my BA review from a few years back and I don't reference it there either.

So much for my memory! :)

This old school SMaSH is nothing but 2-row and cascade (47 IBU?). It would've been a real eye opener in '75, but I'm surprised it still gets so much love? http://www.anchorbrewing.com/beer/liberty_ale Simple pleasures?

As I was leaving the Venetian I saw an advertisement for "The Public House" at the Venetian resort with over 250 beers. I had no idea it was under my nose the entire time.

Agreed. An android and iphone version of the website is a good idea and is often requested. I just need to clone myself so I'll have time :)

Thanks for the heads up SMC.

In the future if you can submit this kind of thing using the "Submit feedback" link on the website that would be a big help.
