    How do I report an update?
    See the "Update" link/dropdown menu at the top of the beer page (you must be logged in). Please complete the form and provide as much information as possible before submitting.

    How do I add notes?
    See above.

    Why doesn't Gots work? Why can't I add more?
    Gots were designed to keep track of the beers in your cellar or fridge and max out at 500 (as noted on your Gots page). Some traders also find it useful.

    If you're looking to track the beers that you've tried, please rate/review the beers.
