    I'd like to nip the use of TM (trademark symbol) in beer names. I see this in beers added by Bear Republic: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/15240/132640/

    I know there are endless disputes over beer names and trademarks, but I don't think the TM symbol should be used on the site. I can see it cluttering and confusing beer naming, searching, and reviewing. thanks

    Trademark, and similar symbols, shouldn't be part of the beer's name when adding/editing beers on BA. Simply report an update, and I'll add it to the guidelines.
