FAO UK Admins - Breweries/Places Housekeeping

Just noticed these 3 Salt / Queer collabs have inconsistent names leading to duplicate beers.

First…

https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/salt-the-queer-brewing-project-flavortown/795597/

Should be:

Salt / Queer Flavortown

Second…

https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/salt-queer-brewing-flavortown-2-bi-fieri/1053729/

Should be:

Salt / Queer Flavortown 2 - Bi Fieri

Third…

https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/salt-the-queer-brewing-project-flavortown-2/936668/

Is a duplicate of beer two and should be removed

And Fourth…

https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/salt-queer-brewing-project-flavourtown-2-barrel-aged-imperial-porter/1083025/

Should be:

Salt / Queer Flavourtown 2 - Barrel-Aged Imperial Porter

I think some work may be needed on the Tesco brewery entry:
https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/tesco/12790/

It’s got this place in HK under the “associated places”; while this did once have a link to Tesco that’s no longer the case, and it would obviously be far better to have Tesco stores UK as the associated place instead :
https://www.ratebeer.com/p/u-select-u-select-various-locations/96799/

In addition, there’s a load of beers that have recently been added to the brewer under the Rastinger, Fazzy and Coberg brands. It looks like these are brewed for the Tesco’s in Eastern Europe rather than UK, and I’m wondering whether it makes any sense for them to be under the UK commissioner brewer - do we need a separate Eastern Europe Tesco’s commissioner brewer for these brands?

A number of the Twsco beers should probably also be aliased to each other. The UK and Polish versions are clearly the same beers but with slightly different names.

These two beers are the same, this is confirmed on the CollabFest 2022 BrewDog pages

https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/alpha-delta-proud-to-drink-sour-count/1079957/

https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/alpha-delta-brewdog-newcastle-sour-count/1058557/

The name should be as the second beer (BrewDog collab), as Proud to Drink is a cocktail delivery service not a brewery.

The UK is added because when there are breweries with the same name people inevitably add beers from a UK brewery onto a Malaysian brewery or whatever.

https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/brewdog-double-hazy-jane/1107352/232269/

Alias?

Presumably you mean to this: https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/brewdog-o-g-hazy-jane-7-2/524738/

If you google O-G Hazy Jane and click on the link to the BD website it takes you to Double Hazy Jane so presumably it was renamed. So OG just needs to be renamed?

A friend of mine entered this beer. Same style and ABV with slightly modified name. I don’t know but seems to be the same as OG Hazy Jane. I have never seen the OG version. Maybe Double Hazy Jane is the correct name nowadays?

Yes, BrewDog are an absolute pain in the arse with the constant renaming and repurposing of old names.

But yes, the original Hazy Jane became OG Hazy Jane when they re-released Hazy Jane as a lower strength IPA. Then when they pissed about with ABVs again with Double and Triple variants and god knows what else, OG Hazy Jane became Double Hazy Jane (the Jane is sometimes left off of keg clips).

Of course, not be confused with BrewDog USA Hazy Jane, which is actually Hazy Jane aka Double Hazy aka Double Hazy Jane aka OG Hazy Jane.

Absolute shitshow.

I get why the UK could be in the brewery name. But it isn’t, so when you add a Full Circle beer you have to know to add the UK. Which doesn’t always happen.

It’s not a big thing, I will try and remember to add it to the beers I add.

I’ve updated Full Circle and the others with the social media links provided.

It is a bit annoying having (UK) in their beer names, probably something done before I became an admin. Makes sense for the brewery name itself but seems pointless for beers only, unless multiple breweries of the same name had multiple beers with the same name.

Anyway, it could be worse. Imagine if we had Pressure Drop Brewing and Pressure Drop Brewing (WTF is that logo!?) without any country distinctions in their names!
In this case the American one came long after the British one and has far fewer beers, so I feel like they should be the ones sullied with a country suffix. I don’t feel like renaming 28 beers right now though.
