    Based on recent demand and feedback, we've removed our long-standing rule that didn't allow you to rate beers listed under a brewery marked as closed. While the rule made sense years ago, the reasons no longer apply today and it removes some confusion for many raters.

    Note:
    • Places tagged as closed are not ratable (no change).
    • Retired beers listed under open breweries are ratable (no change).
    • Retired beers listed under closed breweries are now ratable (changed).
    • Retired beers/places are excluded from current lists and stats (no change).
    That's it. Now go dig up those retired beers and rate 'em...

    Cheers!

    Was thinking the exact same thing. I can finally pull those out of the cellar in good conscious.

    No, but I updated the post to properly reflect the core of the update: rating beers from closed breweries.

    That is great - I am usually behind in my reviews and once in a while I get a beer i can't rate because the brewery has gone under.

    Already feeling the nostalgia with Enlightenment Ales, Craggie Brewing, Arcade Brewing, and Pretty Things. Thank you!

    Oh man..when did Arcade close? I think I saved my empty bottle of Mega Milk because of the label.

    I've been doing the same thing the last for month. It's the beers of defunct breweries can't list a review for.
