August 15, 2003
  • I've changed the layout of the reviews slightly. If more than one person reviews a beer, you'll now see what each reviewers rating was, and when they reviewed it. Before, you could only see the date and rating per beer, so if two reviewers disagreed on the rating, you'd never know.
  • I've also made it nice and easy for those of you who don't wish to sign up for the forums to send us comments. Go to the Contact Us page, and fill out the form. Your comments will actually be posted to the forum, so if you'd like a response, just go there to read it.

August 9, 2003
  • Added 3 reviews: Leikeim Bavarian X-Winter, Leikeim Schwarzbier and Long Trail Hibernator.

  • Oh, yeah, happy belated birthday to Steve, who turned old recently.


July 27, 2003
  • Added 2 reviews: Leikeim Premium Bavarian Pilsner and Leikeim X-Winter.


July 26, 2003
  • My apologies for not posting any new beers lately. I'm in the middle of a code rewrite, and I don't want to screw any of the current reviews up. Soon, patient visitors, soon. In the meanwhile, visit the New TOBP Forum and listen to us BS about everything under the sun.


July 23, 2003
  • Changed the way you can contact us (yet again). It's still forum-based, but it's now hosted here. So go give it a look-see. You don't need to register to read or to post in the TOBP Miscellany forum (which is for tobp.com related comments, complaints, or suggestions). If you want to join the other conversations, you'll need to register, but trust me, this time it's painless, and we don't ask for a lot of personal info.
