    Were changes made to the Beers section recently? Prior to today, if I clicked on Beers, I was shown a list of the most recently RATED and reviewed beers. Now, it defaults to only showing reviews. The timing is curious, what with the recent changes to the rating system.

    Clicking on the sub-category of Beer Reviews shows the exact same list. Clicking on Beer Ratings, I would expect to see just ratings, but it shows both ratings and reviews.

    Nothing curious about it. It's a slight update based on user feedback from those who wanted to see just Beer Reviews on the main Beer page. Now it shows the last 25 Beer Reviews in full. The "Beer Reviews" link was previously called "What beer is everyone drinking?" (renamed as it only show Reviews now). Regardless of the link's name, it always too you back to the main Beer page.

    Rating = the number
    Review = Rating + notes

    So clicking on "Beer Ratings" gives you all recent Beer Ratings (including Beer Reviews, which are also Beer Ratings), however, it was doing this before this update so this is nothing new. The only thing that changed on that page was highlighting Reviews with an "R," as described in the latest update.

    Before this change, there wasn't any real difference between the main Beer page and the first page of Beer Ratings.
