Ratings Via Beer Advocate

BeerAdvocate, per their webpage, claims to be "...one of the oldest and largest online communities of beer geeks and industry professionals dedicated to supporting and promoting beer. Their motto, "Respect Beer," pretty much says it all.

Founded in 1996, its goals include:

• Wake the masses to better beer options.
• Give beer consumers a voice and empower them to learn, share, and advocate.
• Rally our community to support the beer industry.
• Put the Respect back into Beer.

Personally, I don't know anyone who's lost their respect for beer. In any event, this organization works to guarantee beer gets the love and adoration it deserves.
