    As of sometime over the past 2 weeks, I am now being served a mobile version of this site when viewing on my MacBook Retina via Chrome (v31). I'm not sure if this correlates to an update in Chrome or an update on the side of BeerAdvocate.

    The issue isn't present in Firefox or Safari. I also checked in Chrome Canary (v34) and it's not present there... So the issue may fix itself in the next update or 2 of regular Chrome.

    Either way, I figure it's worth reporting.

    No problem. Here you go...

    I know it's hard to judge screenshots from a retina screen, since the computed pixels and the actual pixels are different. So, in the screen shots I made both browser windows the same size so you can see the difference. I also measured the current Chrome version and it's reducing the width of the content down to 240px.

    At first, I thought you might have some media queries set up looking for pixel ratio to trigger a mobile version on retina screens. But when I pulled it up in other browsers and even a dev version of Chrome itself, I figured that couldn't be the problem. Plus, I pulled up the site on an external monitor (to verify if it was a pixel ratio issue) and I was still served the small version of the site.

    None-the-less, this is the first site where I've run into an issue like this... So I figured I'd report.
