Beer Asia Comment Policy

Recently this blog has been receiving a growing number of comments that come in from people all around the world which is pretty cool so I wanted to state our policy for publishing comments since they all have to be authorized before being shown to avoid lots of spam and it goes something like this:

• Everybody's opinions about beer are welcome and the more info and feedback you have the better!

• If you disagree with a beer article then that is okay and we will publish whatever you want to say and I will try to reply back and let you know where I was coming from when I made the original blog post (unless I was too drunk to remember or I have a major hangover).

• Keep in mind that some of these posts and reviews were made over 5 years ago so what might have been a good or bad beer experience then might well be the complete opposite now or it may be we just have a difference in taste. I enjoy beer and sometimes at the end of a hot tropical Asian working day nearly any ice cold brew can taste like heaven whatever the brand maybe so your mileage may vary considerably!

• We get a lot of spam for million dollar Nigerian presidents Viagra penile enlargement lottery winners - we delete those...

• We also get some genuine comments in Asian languages that I can't read or translate so please post in English only as it would be nice to understand what you are saying, unless it falls into the Nigerian Viagra billion dollar sweepstakes area of spam.

• There are also requests to send beer bottles, cans, labels etc. but I work an 80 hour week and travel a lot in the region for business so it is not feasible for me to do this as I will have left the country long before I get a chance to publish a blog post about the nation's beer so sorry I cannot assist for this type of thing though I can try and give you more info or advice if you ask for it but as I mentioned I am busy working (and drinking beer) so it might take me 6 months to reply.

• And we often get angry comments (threats?) from individuals who I guess work for some of the beer brands that received negative reviews and we are happy to publish those but really if some of you guys focused more on the beer making and less on the PR and advertising then you wouldn't be getting bad reviews.

I hope this post clarifies things and as I write this I have quite a backlog of comments that I will try and work through one by one. It may take some time but I will get to your comments eventually. In the meantime just sit back and crack open a fresh one :)
