Who knows? The white space on each page is pretty spectacular and hope they can do better, really - they have a good opportunity to reach a lot of people that AAB and other beer mags don't appeal to. I DO like the articles and all beer review sections in every beer magazine make me scratch my head.Rick Sellershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09382485679681997941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364002.post-69891729685944425972007-07-13T10:05:00.000-07:002007-07-13T10:05:00.000-07:00Hadn't picked up on the lack of new ads, but defin...Hadn't picked up on the lack of new ads, but definitely noticed the slim content. Also, it may not be a legit criticism, but another thing that's puzzled me is the really high marks they've given to beers that aren't that great. I realize that reviews are subjective and peoples tastes are different. My palate may not be world-class, but I can tell if a beer doesn't have much going on. Guess I figured if I could tell, surely the BA dudes would be on top of it. There have been some real head-scratchers in the review section.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
