Lonnie Turner wrote:Robin, you mentioned something about a wine oriented forum in an earlier that you are involved in. Did you ever consider a beer one? I wonder if literally no space is taken up on Louisville HotBytes with wine threads because of such an outlet. Pretty much the only mention of wine is in the context of an overall restaurant view. Offering a place for beer geeks to hang, chat & rant as needed could be good. That would shift a lot of discussion off the solid food forum.
Lonnie, we've talked about that, but hated to dilute the Louisville food forum, where beverages seem to fit in.
The wine forum I referred to is not Louisville-oriented but has a world-wide audience. I was able to build that over the years as a wine writer, but although I like beer and know something about it, I'd be going up against established competition to start a community about beer. Probably best to leave well enough alone.
Here's a link to the wine forum, if you're curious ...
