    Discovered the same issue with Short's Freedom of '78, which is incorrectly listed as retired.

    I submitted a report on Backpocket, with updated address and such. I think the beers will have to be re-added one-by-one. Technically, it is a new brewery - name and location are different.

    Just go to any specific beer, and then click the update option. Change type --> Not retired (still brewed). The mods will inspect and make sure, and depending on how busy they are, it will be updated any time from an hour to a couple days depending on obscurity.

    After a bit more research some of the beers are here http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/30553

    I'm not sure this is really correct though. Technically Old Man River and Backpocket are the same. OMR is the "brewpub", and BP is the production facility. I would like to know how the bros prefer these type of situations are to be handled. If it is clump them together, I'm fine with that. If it is keep them separate, I'm ok with that as well. It just needs to be handled consistently.

    The Backpocket issue is known and will eventually be resolved.

    Backpocket used to brew out of Old Man River but moved out awhile ago. Old Man River was also closed due to a lease dispute and only reopened in March. As such it was designated as CLOSED, which rendered the beers unreviewable. I've reopened the restaurant, so you'll now be able to review it as well as the beers, but they will still be designated as retired as Old Man River no longer brews on-site. Once the beers are moved to the Backpocket listing they will be 'un-retired'. Todd has to move beers and remove the 'brewery' designation from Old Man River; I cannot do it.

    Freedom of '78 was automatically retired as it was still listed as Limited and two years had elapsed. I've changed it to rotating and unretired it.

    Virtually all change requests are dealt with within 24 hours, except those that involve merging listings, changing the brewer, or removing photos. Because these actions could potentially destroy user-contributed content, and because the current code doesn't support undoing these changes, only Todd and Jason can fix them. Once the beer database is overhauled the other editors should be able to tackle the remaining requests in the queue.
