Happy New Year, everyone! Just wanted to wish all of you an awesome 2026 and say thanks for being a part of BeerAdvocate. There's a lot going on in the world right now, but the fact that you're all hanging out, rating beers, posting in the forums, contributing in other ways, and even just lurking means a hell of a lot to me. So, let's raise a beer to BeerAdvocate! It wouldn't be around today if it wasn't for all of you. Kippis!
Thanks Todd - Happy New Year to you and all the other BA's that keep this site humming every day. Cheers to 2026!
Happy New Year! It's crazy how long visiting this site on a daily basis has been part of my life. Cheers!
Thanks, @Todd, and the same to you. To those posters above, congrats on using the correct date in your post. (I just used 2024 when I wrote the date on something about 10 days ago! I can't keep up with the times. )
To you as well, sir. While I might not be as serious about beer as most of you, I love the site for gleaning knowledge and sheer entertainment (I kinda know some stuff, too). Prost, and keep on pouring!
Happy New Year BA. Grateful for the community built here. Grateful for the creation of BA @Todd . Grateful for the BAs who step up as Mods. Very grateful for the cool people I have connected with here, a few even in person! Grateful for the learning from many of the fine folks here. Cheers!
Thank you, Todd, and to everyone else. Since signing on five years ago, BA is the site I primarily read when I sit down for lunch or dinner and no one is around for conversation (and sometimes when they are ). I stopped reading news sites when objective journalism became extinct and now enjoy filling my mind with knowledge about beers I love, beers I hope to experience and even beers I would never touch. And the banter among the BA long-timers who know one another well is always entertaining. Peace and prosperity to all in 2026!
Looking forward to another great year on Beer Advocate. Thank you @Todd and the entire Mod Team for the thoughtful ideas and execution to maintaining and improving the site from day to day and year to year. Thanks also to the wonderful Advocates who visit, be it everyday regulars or periodic check ins. The contributions by all make this a great site to visit, and one of two "social media" accounts I access regularly (SoxMachine covering the White Sox the other). Cheers!
Merry New Year to all BAs! And here's to a beer-a-day (or more, if'n you care to), hopefully great ones!
