My bad, I was under the impression that for Client Brewers we go by the location stated by the brewer.
For example, this brewer is down as being Belarusian (here and on UnTapdd), but all its beer is made in St. Petersburg, Russia — its UnTappd page states “Born in Minsk, brew in St. Petersburg”.
By no means am I a Russian admin and saying your input was wrong. I was just posting what I found out in my research so far. This can usually be handled several ways will look for input from @Marko and @mcberko on this one.
Great example of moving them is UK Brewery X contracts in London, but legally presides in Suffolk for all government licensing than we usually put them in Suffolk.
Not sure the presidency elsewhere and only Untaped has the detailed info outside of all social media saying a Siberian brewery that brews in Moscow.
Doesn’t mattwr how many times I read the definitions I will never remember which is which as the two nsmes are just too sinilar. In fact I can’t remember now
If a brewery changes name from “Bad Beer Brewing” to Good Beer Brewing" there seem to be several options to write this information here at RB. This one seems to most common in England:
Good Beer Brewing (prev Bad Beer Brewing)
But also these:
prev.
Prev
Formerly
These are common in other countries:
FKA
Fka
fka
fka:
formerly
ex
was
I think that that way to name breweries is an English peculiarity, with maybe some copying it here and there. Generally don’t see the need to keep the “prev” in the brewery name, the Brewery description might do.
But if someone has an idea why having both in the name is preferable, I’m all ears ofc.
I feel like it was instituted by UK admin to easily identify and prevent multiple brewery adds for places renamed but with the same beers. Not sure if it’s right or wrong, but certainly a way to handle it.
It seems that this one has shut down. Their taproom is closed and no one has checked in their beers on UT for a year. No social media presence for a couple of years.
