Help - Places

What are Places?

Places is where you'll find out where you can taste your latest recommendation. You should find everything from restaurants to retailers here, along with selections that other BeerRiot memebers have found available at each spot.

How do I tell BeerRiot that I had a beer somewhere?

Easy! First check the Place's page on BeerRiot. If the beer is listed in the Place's menu, just click the available button next to it. BeerRiot will update the availability to let people know they're very likely to find it there.

If the beer isn't already on the Place's menu, click the "add beer" button at the top of the menu and enter the name of the beer then click add. You could also go to the Places tab on the beer's page, click the "add place" button.

If your favorite Place isn't even listed on BeerRiot yet, please add it by clicking on the "new place" button in the Places list!

So what's with the faded tap?

The faded tap (Tap (availability) icon) is a rough indicator for how likely you are to find a particular beer at a particular place. The tap fades as days go by, or as other BeerRiot members find an establishment out of stock and click the unavailable button.

Beers that I added to a place a month ago have vanished from that place - why?

In an effort to keep selections as up to date as possible, BeerRiot removes a beer from a Place's menu after thirty days. BeerRiot memebers can prevent this from happening by clicking the available button on the Place's list for any beer they found in stock last time they visited.

A place I went to didn't have the beer BeerRiot said it did - what should I do?

Click the unavailable button next to that beer on the Place's menu! BeerRiot relies on its members to keep these menus up to date. Thanks for helping out!
