Please rename the cities of these places to St. Petersburg. It would help in cleaning up this mess (also, it would be great if we could change the Cyrillic at the bottom to English):
Separate point: as Ratebeer refuses to recognise Crimea as part of Russia, then we should probably move the Crimea places (Yalta, Sevastopol) to Ukraine.
This would make sense as breweries based in Crimea are listed as Ukrainian here.
This place should have its city changed to simply Kronshtadt (there’s only one Kronshtadt in Russia, so no need to specify St. Petersburg in the name):
Not sure what’s wrong with Brussels Beer Project in Paris, but when searching in the app for the place while at physically it, it shows up as 5.400+ kilometres away.
I assume that the brewery entry was merged with the generic Les 3 Brasseurs entry - the recipes are apparently the same in every French L3B. I will make it point to that.
Should Crimea just be made its own country as it is contested/unrecognized? While part of Ukraine it was an autonomous province anyway akin to Puerto Rico or Hong Kong.
I actually like that idea, seems like a good compromise to me. Still, it’s up to the site ownership, as Marko said.
I raised this issue a couple of years ago on the old forums, and got an answer from one of the admins that the situation there is currently “unresolved and may change” - i.e. it’s not a long-term frozen situation a la Transdniestra/Nagorno Karabakh yet. Can’t find the actual post because of the lack of a search function.
So I guess in a few decades a change might be made. And by that time we might have Belgium split up into regions and other nice things, too!
Yeah, Crimea being, at least temporarily, set apart, would perhaps be a compromise of sorts, one I reckon at least equally disliked by both sides, which is I reckon less than the region being shown as belonging to “the other”.
I know of a new brewery in Sevastopol but won’t add it until this is sorted out.
