Matt and I had been talking about this for awhile and here's the Over-analysis Syndrome that I posted in concert with his: http://brewvana.wordpress.com/2008/01/16/over-analysis-syndrome/ When I saw that Rate Beer thread, I wished I hadn't dragged him into my philosophical BS. I appreciate that he did it. The Rate Beer thread became case in point, with over-zealous people responding without reading the whole thread, much less the posts referenced. Cheers!

So many beers in the B or A category, so much verbage that does not really help IMO. I am new to the whole "real" beer scene and I have to admit, I don't find these rating sites helpful. There seems to be hardly any average beer, let alone bad ones. Perhaps that's what they mean by "advocate" site. I try various beers rated and find large differences. If anyone has any recommendations for a site is more balanced, with less armchair quarterbacks all trying to sound like experts, I would appreciate it...
