Data is king! If any value is to come from wheretodrink.beer, contributions from beer enthusiasts like yourself is absolutely necessary.
Review venues
You, and your fellow craft beer enthusiast, are the ones visiting the pubs and bars at a certain location frequently, and you are best situated to notice when the local scene changes. Perhaps a new distribution deal, or new ownership, shift who the top dog of the area is?
To contribute to improving data quality you can use the Review link that is present in all the venue cards at a location. Here you can rate different dimensions of the venue on a 5 point smiley scale.
Example smiley scale
Review dimensions
- Basic: Rate the venue on things like location, cleanliness, pricing, etc.
- Staff: Rate how friendly, knowledgeable and attentive the staff are.
- Beer selection: Rate how the beer selection is, the number of taps and perceived tap rotation time.
- Tags: Let us know whether you agree with, or disagree with the current tags, and propose new ones if needed

Header photos
All locations need a good cover / header photo!

Anonymity
For all practical intents and purposes contributions to wheretodrink.beer are anonymous by default. No personal identifiable information is stored together with the review data, unless you specifically opt in for the purpose of getting a spot on our Supporters-page (not yet operational).
To prevent the most egregious attempts at review-spamming we might take measures which restrict a user's possibility to review the same venue multiple times in a certain timespan. To accomplish this we might use a value derived from your IP. If so it will be removed from our database when that timespan elapses, and it will never be linked to your review data directly.
