    So a retired be can no longer be in the top 100? That makes sense.

    Why are the other 3 Armand'4 still listed as not-retired?

    Thanks for the quick response.

    that's the way it is around here

    a beer is retired after it's been a certain amount of time since its most recent release. herfst, zomer, and winter will be retired soon enough

    Yep, this is why we need a top retired beers list if you ask me.

    Because you can still buy them I believe. Not sure about zomer but def herfst and winter.

    Really? I've always found it to be kinda random since a lot of beers never to be made again from experimental breweries never get retired. I thought there was just someone from the admins that would retire them.

    well, yeah, like everything else around here, the rules are not uniformly applied.

    I know that, I just meant really? As in like because of what I mentioned are you sure that beers are retired after a certain amount of time since its most recent release?

    Like is it a set time for the ones they do retire?

    That is, in theory, the reasoning of when beers are to be retired.

    It's supposed to be one year, from past discussions involving Rare, Vanilla, etc. It seems it's more consistently enforced on beers that quickly climb the Top 100.

    Haha yea I agree about the in theory part but its far from put in practice here.

    Gotcha, that makes sense, maybe because people give them a nudge and say hey this is supposed to be retired?

    Thats an idea! Did you post that in the feedback area? I think more people would wanna tick that list or maybe a wale list?

    Cheers!

    Nope but feel free to submit it, I just use the one on RB...the one on here would probably be 90% or more the same beers as the one I use, just in different order since ratings differ. That's the only reason I haven't suggested it but you have to be premium over there to see it and many people here don't use RB or aren't on premium so it would be nice if BA had its own.

    The retired list has been suggested a million times. It hasn't been "approved" yet :slight_frown:
