  Rate Your Beer Using Twitter With Beerdo!

  Posted: November 19th, 2008, 6:37pm CET by Chris Scott

  Beerdo! is a new (at least to me) site to allow you to rate your beer using Twitter. That means you can use any Twitter client or SMS to send ratings.

  Rating is easy since all you do is @ message beerdo with the name of the beer followed by exclamation points for how many points to give it (from 1 - 5). For example to rate Bud Light Chelada with one star (unfortunately, they don’t have negative ratings) you’d send: @beerdo Bud Light Chelada !

  You can see what people are rating at the Beerdo! site or on Twitter. Due to the volume of tweets, I wouldn’t follow them on Twitter but just check out their page.

  It would be cool to be able to go to the Beerdo! site and see things like ratings for a beer, highest/lowest rated beers and what’s hot.

  Election Swing State Beer Tour

  Posted: November 4th, 2008, 6:47pm CET by Chris Scott

  In honor of today’s election, I’ll be drinking beers from the swing states. Here’s a list of possible candidates (get it?) for my Total Wine trip tonight. What will you be drinking?

  Arizona:

  • Four Peaks 8th Street Ale

  Pennsylvania:

  • Yuengling Lager
  • Stoudt’s Fat Dog Stout

  Florida:

  • Orlando Brewing Blackwater Porter
  • Ybor Gold Amber Lager

  Tennessee:

  Sadly, I couldn’t find any TN breweries that had a wide distribution. If you know of one, let me know in the comments.

  Indiana:

  • Three Floyds Alpha King Pale Ale (not widely distributed, but well-known)

  New Mexico:

  • Santa Fe Nut Brown

  Nevada:

  Suggestions?
