Adding retired beers

This beer: https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/shams-beer/511738/

goes against the Add A New Beer guidelines “The beer must exist commercially and be in production.”

Has an exception been made for it due to its uniqueness, or did someone just miss that it’s a beer that hasn’t been produced since the late 1970s?

I hope Doctoryak pops in from time to time and continues to rate only obscure beers from yesteryear.

I would subscribe to that newsletter.

I almost feel like this should be preserved but not counted for anything…anyway to retire it right away, not count it in any stats or anything but still keep the info?

Like for my red cap Westvleteren? I didn’t see it in the database.

Nevermind, it’s there and I rated it.
