Sarcasm doesnât work so well on the internet, alas.

Hehe - I thought
would do the trick.
I should probably make clear that Iâm not against the IPA split in general. Iâd even prefer a bigger differentiation, as many others, and thought that LSR is a good example of how this could play out. Would there be a category IPA - Hazy Imperial / Imperial New England, this wouldnât be a question. Some say itâs alright like that. Have broader styles. But why, then introduce IPA - Imperial / Double? Confusing stuff. I hope the new style descriptions clear things up a little. Exciting times.
Fruit Wine or die!
Well, now I want a brewery from Russia, Belarus or Ukraine to do a DNIEPER - Double NEIPA, murky like the river. Or even better: collab! That would be one geopolitically loaded beer.

Well it Ukrainian the river is called Dnipro, so it doesnât work well in the languageâŠ

Itâll be a special: in the Ukraine, youâll be able to taste it on tap with nitro.
Ha, cheers buddy! Seems the direction of travel, in terms of new styles, has been decided, although on the admin side I am voicing my opinions on whatâs most valid. My top priority is to get kvass recognised!

Tried it, doesnât work, they seem to currently have maxed out characters to fit the list column in the Beer style search so adding spaces doesnât work, this will need to be fixed⊠And as soon as you click on a variable in that menu, it always auto saves with a high risk of messing up specials charactersâŠ
Iâm not seeing Fruit Wines on here as a category. Did they change their minds about this?
This was mentioned somewhere - it was only added on as a test or something along those lines.
Adding some new beers which are described by the brewer as NE IPA but when adding a beer there is no option for this style? Has it been withdrawn now?
It is there but you cannot add a beer as it yet. If you need to add one, add ad IPA and send correction for beer style.
Cheers for the heads up.
Yeah, itâs the Ratebeer way⊠

I can barely contain the amount of hatred I have for the decisions being made around this.
Hereâs how I imagine this went down.
Person 1: So, now that weâve added these new styles everyone wanted, letâs go ahead and roll it out across the website
Person 2: Wait⊠wait. Hold up. Now lis⊠Guys⊠Listen! What if⊠no hear me out ok. What if we rolled it out everywhere EXCEPT on the page where users add new beers??? Yeah!? What do you think?
Person 1: Wtf? Why? Then users would be forced to send a correction immediately after adding a beer. Causing more work for admins.
Person 2: I know right!? That way we force everyone to spend more time on the website! Think of the analytics!

no, thereâs a different reason for this. and unlike other issues I am confident it will be made proper for all users soon.

I had assumed (or rather, hoped) this was the case, I was just being a cynical dickhead because this stuff is so frustrating for normal users when no explanation or valid reason is given for it.
Iâve seen joetâs linked the spreadsheet style stuff at the top of the forum today so I guess there are more changes coming which is why this was being held off for now. Iâm happy with this, wouldâve been nice if it had been communicated better is all.
