The sun hit us hard. We had arrived in the South, in the Sun, in Greece. It was a thirsty weather and we knew little to nothing about Greek craft beer. But we knew of one place, pointed out to us by Konstantinos Avramidis of Elixi \u2013 who we found via Untappd and contacted via Facebook. With an unsure future for Ratebeer, such might be something we need to get used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big cities and known beer areas have blogs that talk about beer, that offer maps for crawls, reviews of locations or lists of places. Not that long ago, every self-respecting beer tourist’s first place to research was Ratebeer. What distinguished it from the rest was an easy to navigate Google Map. Untappd does not offer that, so you have to search locations to see who checked in what. Or find out about local beers and then see where they were checked in. You may even have to get in touch with a brewery to ask. Basically, some effort is needed that a well-curated site could saved us from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
