    Hi ! I'm a proud BA-member since 2014. Enjoying some threads and the forum in general. I've been trading and rating mostly, but oversees trading has become a bit expensive lately.
    My wish is that more Europeans become members on here, because one of the comments I hear a lot is that BA is too US-centered. To me that's really not a bad thing (I love a lot of US beers), but it would indeed be good to see more European action...

    I hear you! When I lived in Germany, I pretty much had to add every single beer I was drinking. From German freinds of mine (on RateBeer) the English only policy is what keeps them away.

    Being someone who has a soft spot for traditional styles and not a huge love for IPAs, a European beer trip especially to Belgium or Munich would be a dream come true. I love trying new beers, but never pulled the trigger on getting into trading since I still don't quite understand how it works.

    Right on, Filip. To be honest, I have entirely different conversations about Belgian and other European beer in other places. I live my local beer life elsewhere. I still love checking back here for those American-centric discussions about this lovely country. We have to be ambassadors...
