    That's where I put them too. I don't buy the Mexico-sourced ones, so the ones I drink are brewed here in the good ol' US of A, thus American Lager is accurate. Like my logic?

    You'll be free to do so when I start a thread for Add-a-Beer Weekend. Can't wait? Do it in the What Beer Are You Drinking Now thread and (in ALL CAPS) tell everyone that you added the beer to the database too. You'll be helping to get everyone primed for the Add-a-Beer Weekend. :clap:

    I love this Idea! Kinda like the NBW thread with this being called ABW.It will be interesting to see what is added from different parts of US/World. I wouldn’t , mind seeing a additional thread with places if this is successful, A thread with a review of the place , i really look at places when im traveling and reviews are very helpful., and interesting to read.

    I’ll be in on whatever weekend is chosen (although I’ll be supervising high schoolers one weekend in February -no brews on those days).
    I’ve added 219 beers and can do better.

    After a weekend of supervising teenagers you’re gonna need a few of those beers! Best of luck!

    I hadn't thought about how many non-US beers could be added as part of this campaign, but all of our international members are certainly welcome to join in.

    Re: an effort to increase the Places database, I'd like to see that happen too because I use the BA database to plan my itinerary.

    A few years ago I found a Michigan list of breweries that had about 100 more places than what were in the BA database, so I researched all of the missing ones to discover many were not viable additions. Most of these were wineries or distilleries that held brewery licensing but didn't brew, or the beer was such a small part of their operations that I didn't feel they should be in the BA database. I added a couple dozen good-looking places without visiting them, but with the intent of traveling to them and writing a review. Unfortunately my travels since then have mostly been out-of-state so that I've only visited 2-3 of them. But having these places in the database may have caused others to visit.

    I hope you're available on Feb 7-8 because I'm pretty sure that's when we'll kick off this campaign.

    When reviewing places (if it becomes a thread ) does not have to be a new place can be 30 years old , brewery brewpub or beer bar , would love to see more traffic.

    Oops, I guess my focus has been too narrow. :flushed: But, yes, you have my permission to participate, and I expect a lot from you (as if you have nothing else to do). :slight_smile::rolling_eyes:

    Added 7 Nine Giant Brewing beers this morning. I typically add new beers when I'm thinking of visiting a local brewery and the tap list has a lot of beers that aren't yet in the BA database.

    Based on my Karma points awarded last April...Beer Contributor (Level 7), I've added over 350 beers.

    :beers:

    Nice idea! To date I've added 233 beers to the database. My music schedule is always full on and around Fat Tuesday, Feb 7, but I will keep adding brews as I get 'em for sure. You can count on me. Nice to get all 4 tics and sometimes 5 if adding the brewery.

    Nothing like doing a 2fer - adding a beer and then drinking it too. And you can then go for the trifecta by rating/reviewing it at the end.

    Sounds like you're proof positive that it takes no time to add a beer between sets. Way to go!

    A beer each time you add 12 beers is a pretty good reward. Pace yourself, no need foranother hangover. :slight_smile:
