Should we bring back New Beer Sunday?

I personally was not a fan of the decision to change NBS to NBW. My preference would be to go back to the original format of NBS.

Cheers!

 

I am really not sure? I seem to be able to handle either or, although NBS sorta has a neat ring to it.

 

If it's only going to be one day I'd much rather it be Saturday; otherwise I'm happy with things the way they currently are.

 

Leave it the way it is . Some are off Saturday ,others Sunday probably more on Sunday. And some both, so I like the reviews/ pics all weekend.

 

I’m with this, I didn’t start participating until it was weekend. I saw it more often and for an extra day, it caught my eye and I couldn’t be happier.

It has been one of my favorite things about BA since i discovered it. Yes I know I’m late to the party

 

For some reason I can’t quite articulate, I liked New Beer Sunday more. Seemed like more of an event, being only one day? Maybe that’s it.

 

Sure, Sunday is in my top seven days of the week to have a beer.

 

I always liked NBS better because Sunday is my Friday. Definitely interested in some sort of “Style Saturday”, though.
Cheers!

 

New Beer Weekend is fine the way it is, don't change it. If you want to just review on Sunday, nothing is stopping you. Thats the beauty of it being on Sunday AND Saturday

Though seriously, without the snark, I don't see an issue at all with NBW as it is. Sometimes I have something I want to review right away on a Saturday, that I'm excited about. Other times, I just happen along something on a Sunday. The people that actively participate probably isn't going to change much either way, but I like the flexibility.

 

Same here. There was a seeming intimacy of exchanges that are very memorable these days. I don't really dislike the weekend idea, but I do think one day provides for better planning, writing, and a sense of anticipation.

 

I haven't participated in the old or the current so I have no history with either but hope to in the future. I'm wondering if the format is fundamentally different other than a smaller, more focused period of time in which people can participate and and interact? I do like the idea of focusing on a specific style with online tastings.

 

I occasionally participate (haven't been trying a lot of new beers) and all I have to add is "it's all good". I liked the thread before and like it now so I'm abstaining from voting. Flexibility is nice though but I can always do what I did the most recent one, drink and review on Saturday but post on Sunday if that's allowed!

 

At first I was against the NBW idea but Ive gotten used to it. I still almost all my New beers on Sunday. There was something magical about just Sundays though I have to admit. Im on board with tastings on Saturday and NBS though. Either way Im participating as often as possible.

 

6 of that, 1/2 dozen of the other Are fewer people posting on NBW than used to on NBS?

 

I have no idea, but there was a continuity of discussion on one day that made me pay closer attention than I do now.

 

Not that I was a regular participant when it was New Beer Sunday, but I would at least pay attention to the thread in general most Sundays. Since the change to NBW I rarely bother looking at the thread at all, for whatever reason I don't think about it now.
