    I believe one-off beers are "retired" after one year. Sometimes these beers are added to the database long before their release. For instance, this was added in May but won't be available until October.

    It will only be active for 7 months. Not a big problem of course, but I wonder if there's some way to address it? Perhaps retiring the offering one year after its first review?

    I think it depends on who enters it. Some meatball enters it based on a press release, without all the correct details? Nuke it. Brewery enters it, and enters an edit if it doesn't match up, let it stand.
