    I tried to rate Pretty Things Fluffy White Rabbits and there is no option to rate it. Only got or want. Why can't I rate it??

    You can't rate it because Pretty Things has closed. Since it's been marked as "Closed" on BA, the ability to review beers has been removed.

    I'll take this opportunity to voice my opinion (for whatever it's worth) - I do wish there was a grace period (six months?) to review beers from breweries that had shuttered their doors. I think I do understand the reasoning behind not reviewing beers from breweries that have been closed for a long period of time. But for places that have been closed recently enough to have reviews yet to be posted (let alone beers still on shelves at bottle shops), I feel like Beer Advocate is doing the users a disservice. Enough of us use the function to mark our Hads, or post Reviews - or just "tick" - I don't feel like there's a reason for (nearly) immediate removal of the ability to rate their beers.
