    I know it is the site's policy to not allow reviews for any beer or brewery once the place is closed. However, I recently saw that rate/review was enabled for a beer long since retired (Sammichlaus - Hurlimann)

    I figured it was possible that I missed an announcement and this feature/policy was changed. So, I wrote an 800 word review and selected my scores for all attributes. Hit submit and got an error message that reviews are not allowed for closed breweries.

    If it is going to continue to be site policy to not allow us to do this, can we please get the option to rate/review removed from closed brewery pages? Perhaps it will save other users from wasting time/effort.

    I'll have @Mike address this ASAP. The option should not appear if the brewery is closed.
