Stat Updates to Places

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!

 

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