: the basics in 30 seconds

————————————————————————————————————–

We began posting news updates on new beer in late February. Want to be one of the first to hear about the Russian River releases? No problem. What about The Lost Abbey?? Got you covered. OK, how about that beer that Portsmouth Brewery has that’s coming down the pipeline? I think it’s called…Kate the Great?? BAM! You got it! You’d like some help filtering through the hundreds of threads at Beer Advocate or Ratebeer to see what’s new in the beer world? Good, that’s our specialty. Whether you’re a storeowner looking to get a leg up because your distributor doesn’t always get you the best info, a beer trader looking to get in line early, or just a beer person in general, make sure to make beernews.org part of your daily routine.

Got your ear? Read on to learn about subscribing to automatic alerts, how to contribute your own scoops, how to comment, and advertising.

Subscribe to daily updates

There are two ways to get the news without even needing to visit the site. One is to get email updates by clicking here: Subscribe to beernews.org by Email.

For example, news stories published on Friday will be delivered to your email in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday by the time you wake up for your morning brew (Choklat and pancakes, anyone?).

Better yet, you can subscribe to even faster story alerts by clicking on the feedburner link: . This service will alert you shortly after a beernews.org story has been published. If you are unfamiliar with this service, click –> here to learn more about RSS.

Help contribute to the project.

(and other reasons to send me email!)***

We aim to do, primarily, one thing here and that’s to get you scoops on new beers before anyone else. Readers are also encouraged to contribute tips because, obviously, we can’t get to EVERYTHING. Seen something mentioned on the forums or read something juicy in Ale Street News while on the can? As soon as you get a hold of a beer tip, send me an e-mail! Just please tell me who you are: a brewer for what brewery? what store do you own? who are you on Beer Advocate? Ratebeer? etc.. Providing this information will help speed up getting the news online. That said, the day job could get in the way of getting EVERY story online at beernews.org. Which is why we’ve started a Twitter feed (see below).

***No e-mail you send is nuisance unless its spam. If you notice the site is slow or it’s down, LET US KNOW. General comments, questions, or complaints are welcome as well.

:even MORE beer updates during the day?? Are you out of your bloody MIND?!?

Yes and yes. Twitter alerts will usually either come in the form of a) hand-picked beer news headlines for stories we’re unable to cover, b) previews of what we will be posting next, or c) general beer ramblings. We will send out updates throughout the day. Just click on the Twitter link on the upper left side of the main page to get the most recent headlines. And, of course, if you are a Twitter user yourself, click the link to ‘follow me.’ Note that this service may not run during the weekends.

How to comment on posts at beernews.org by using 

Disqus is the commenting software used at beernews.org. Seriously, it takes no extra effort at all to sign up and it’s free but you are not required to in order to post comments. The comments link is hard to find but it is located between the post title and picture at the top of the post. Clicking on it will bring you to the specific page for the post. From there you’re required to give a name and email address though both of these can be completely made up. Comment moderation is on right now but should come down in the future.

Check out the archives to see what we’ve been posting about over the last couple months.

Cheers!
