Just took a look there for first time in ages. I see @BlackHaddock made a cameo post before Xmas.
Well for those of you who used to check in there it’s got way less footfall then ever before.
Usual can you recommend a milk stout … type posts … someone plugging pub tours of London…a few by the Fuhrer Todd trying to drum up interest. I noticed in your post Jeremy that emperor bevis seems brainwashed against RB with a stock answer about mean spirited reviews for small brewers and good reviews for macro … like they found one example of this after the takeover here and are clinging to it !
Anyhow we’ve had more topics posted here (let alone actual contributions) since 1st March 2021 than they’ve had since February 2020!
I pop back every so often just to lurk and sometimes check a beer I’m sure I’ve had, but haven’t rated on here (hoping to find an old forgotten BA review from me).
Not missing BA at all really, glad I jumped before Todd or his brother closed me down, as I would have lost all my reviews.
Was just browsing BA forum earlier on the back of something else and it looks like they’ve just killed off the UK forum
Just all lumped together in one as ‘Europe’
Unless I’ve missed something?
It’s pretty pathetic … the most recent post is about an American visiting London and something like 18/20 replies are from other americans offering their opinions … all very helpful but just folks who have likely visited 3 or 4 times ever and some not for 5 or more years!
I love that London visit thread, but at least people are trying to help, even if they haven’t been for years!
I can remember suggesting crawls around London for visitors (when I was active on BA) and rarely got a thanks, or anything post trip to say they did it.
I always thought at least half of the people who posted such threads on BA had zero intention of ever going to visit London / The UK and were just perennial posters / conversation starters.
Even this one the OP says … dreaming of / planning !
