Since the development of social media one area that hasnt really evolved yet is the beer or alcohol social network. So at this moment where do you head to rate beer? Well as far I know there are 3 key places to head. Ratebeer, BeerAdvocate, and Beer Suggest. Currently, all these sites are growing but the clear leader has to be Ratebeer. The site has  huge database with some great beers in their and a very active user base.

However that being said, no really site has been able to establish the equivalent to what Snooth has done in the wine industry. Snooth has a brilliant looking site that in as equally rich in features as it is in user contributions. I think there is a real big potential to have the leading site in this market, I just wish I had the time to produce such a site.

Hey - thanks for the mention.

My Google alerts tells me you’re based in Truro? I grew up just down the road in Mawnam Smith near Falmouth!

Here’s another one: http://apps.facebook.com/ratebeer

This is a Facebook application that I created for rating your favorite beers and finding new ones to try based upon your tastes. It’s not actually affiliated with RateBeer.com, but I pull the full beer list from that site. The app currently has about 30,000 users, who have entered almost 700,000 ratings of over 30,000 different beers. Please check it out!

Thanks,
Jonathan Kelly
