Message shadey beers 2299 º places 92 º 17:45 Mon 2/6/2006 Check it out... http://www.thecouriermail.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,18054124%255E23272,00.html "Personally, I think people who describe beer in such a way have their heads up their own cellar."
Message Ernest P beers 9435 º places 229 º 18:06 Mon 2/6/2006 What a useless article. Why use reviews to show how bad something is (Green Fern), and then dismiss it with "main gripe ... that the head was too weak." That was hardly the main gripe in that review! More amusing, the Schneider Edel-Weisse hardly has a bad score, and the review he pulled was a positive one. Criticize our reviews and then don’t even review them yourself? Lame.

A total waste of space. I’d rather have an obituary posted where that "article" was. Email the author and tell him how you feel. gibsonr@qnp.newsltd.com.au

Message BückDich beers 5464 º places 215 º 18:21 Mon 2/6/2006 Seems like he has a macro mentality. To his peers, he’ll appear weak if he shows any sign of sincere interest so it’s best to be vague and ignorant and say something like "decent feed" and avoid the point entirely.
Message OldGrowth beers 3472 º places 204 º 18:26 Mon 2/6/2006 "It is selling two brews carrying ticks" I don’t like my beers carrying ticks
Message Sully beers 1380 º places 14 º 18:35 Mon 2/6/2006 Guys, you have to remember this bloke is a Queenslander. They spell beer XXXX.
Message Walt beers 2449 º places 189 º 18:53 Mon 2/6/2006 Hmmm...I see his email address at the bottom of that article...

Message IMtheOptimator beers 1170 º places 33 º 19:13 Mon 2/6/2006 Irony: this guy picks his words carefully as to try to make the RateBeer community sound uneducated.
Message ABUSEDGOAT beers 4141 º places 64 º 19:43 Mon 2/6/2006 Bad article. Look at Robert Parker (wine) or Michael Jackson (beer, duh) ... both of them are professionals at writing about what they drink. Parker’s writeups can make or break a vinyard, Jackson probably holds similar power. I wouldn’t put that down. I’d accept it or aspire to it. I don’t like wine nearly as much as beer, but when someone can describe wine in words I respect it.
Message eczematic beers 1340 º places 3 º 20:14 Mon 2/6/2006 personally i think if you are a journalist you should be able to write in correct English (this shop has "attained" (!?!) the right to sell beer?)
