    The following stats associated with Places have been removed to support upcoming updates to our admin tools and new features, as well as to make things easier for the user.

    Taps, Bottles and Cask
    Reason: Useless/We can do better

    We were storing the number of taps and bottles/cans that a place offered, and if the place offered cask-conditioned beers, but the fields weren't being used to their full potential and resulted in a ton of old and useless data.

    Instead, we're working on live beer menus and feeds to drive this data and much more.

    Beer-to-go
    Reason: Redundant

    This tag was used to note if a brewer sold beers to take home, but was extended to other place types over the years based on regional laws. As its use grew, so did the confusion with the "store" place type, which is essentially the same thing; both note a place that sells beer to take home (aka: beer-to-go).

    We also found that barely anyone used the "beer-to-go" toggle when searching.

    Instead, any place that sells beer-to-go should be tagged as a "store" and we'll adjust the display layer to either "Store" or "Beer-to-go" based on the place type. And all previous places that were tagged as "beer-to-go" have been updated.

    Small updates for bigger things to come.

    Cheers!

    In PA, a lot of bars have coolers for to-go beer.

    So if they serve food, these should be listed as "Bar, Eatery, Store" now?

    Tagged as "sells beer-to-go" when adding/editing, and we display it as "Beer-to-go."

    Go to a Place, like Toppling Goliath. Make sure the Beers option is clicked (and not the Place Reviews). Then below that, the header for the list of beers shows:

    Current (x) | Archived (x) | All | Feed

    The Feed seems to list all recent ratings/reviews for the past 7 days for that brewery.

    Places currently stopped showing the "Yours" column and recognizing you've had beers from a place. Showing "0 displayed on this page" on Kane for me for instance, from either the Current or Archived or All selections. It knows I've had 4 beers, but not detecting which ones.

    Seems to be back this AM - perhaps there was some re-indexing being performed last night.
