I'm sure many here haven't dealt with Ratebeer, but it was the OG site to use along with beer advocate back in the late 2000's. A few of my friends were hooked, and it got me onboard. We joined local communities, met up with others for local beer events, and setup tastings with everyone. Made a lot of good friends and tried the best beers in the world because of the site and although I drifted from the hobby well over a decade now it still was a big influence for me and even the modern equivalents that exist today. Just wanted to put this here since it was definitely a part of beer history that should be remembered.
