    Can there please be some review or oversight of reviews from this website?

    Just a few recent examples in my area....

    On tap at the Tacoma Craft Brew Festival.
    Buffalo Wild Wings was pushing this a few weeks ago. I supposed their shilling an obvious attempt to kick Redhook into the mainstream, though with a sample today think it a pretty good beer. I'm not going to seek it out, but if it's offered, what the hell I'll drink some.
    or...

    This is just embarrassing...
    On tap at the Tacoma Craft Brew Festival.
    Outstanding brew from a brewery that should fly higher above the radar than it does. Plenty of body, plenty of heft, yet quite easy to quaff in a session. Perhaps the best beer of the entire festival - buy it.

    I really hate to bitch but really? Buffalo Wild Wings? Anyone, even my infant can say "hoppy"...

    There is. You report it and the moderators review it. If they agree with your negative judgment they delete it.

    Anyone remember when Buffalo Wild Wings was BW3? What's wrong with BDubz? I used to always go there for football games and wings. They always had at least a couple good craft beers on-top. I'm confused. What's wrong with Buffalo Wild Wings? Besides their food, other than their wings..

    You like Buffalo Wild Wings as a reputable craft beer destination and I don't. Difference in style and opinion I guess...

    I tried but there is no report/flag icon or button on reviews, not for me at least, maybe I'm not that cool or in the know....

    I haven't been there in 3 years.. I never went there for the beer or considered it a reputable craft beer destination.. I'm just saying in that in my area, they always had at least 3 highly accliamed brews on-tap..

    Apparently the report function was reported, found to be inappropriate, and removed.

    BDubz in my area is one of the best options for craftier selections. The one I frequent has more of them than the 'mainstream water'.

    So you're one of those guys? Like I said, nobody goes there for the beer.. but the ones in my area at least make an attempt to cater to the beer geeks.. the options are limited, but I never had to settle for Sam Adams.. I'm sure I can walk in there right now and get some Great Lakes Nosferatu or Great Lakes Oktoberfest on-tap.. they had Bell's, Stone, etc. on-tap as well.. at least they used to..

    Those reviews don't seem too different than marking a beer as a "had." No substance either way.

    Hooters has great food. Sue me for having those high BA standards of "beer centric" places I suppose. And yes, I am one of those guys who accepts nothing but the best.

    I dont think I understand, the place where you drank the beer matters? So you're not allowed to review a beer if you had it at a Buffalo Wild Wings?

    I think there should be a BA Member of the month club and all of us can only drink the beer he or she drinks at the locations approved by said member , if we do not do so we have our membership taken away and banned for life
