Ever wonder how your favorite Double IPA holds up six months later? Or how that Imperial Stout changed after a year in the cellar?
Welcome to Append Reviewing—a feature unique to Two Beer Dudes. Instead of cluttering the site with duplicate entries or deleting your history, you can add a new, dated tasting note to any beer you have previously reviewed. Track how your palate, the recipe, or a bottle's age changes the experience, all preserved chronologically on a single beer profile page.
How to Append a Beer Review
2
Verify Your History
Open the beer's review page and click "Write a Beer Review." Our system will verify your previous review and load your historical tasting notes for reference.
3
Log Your Fresh Notes
Enter your new scores and impressions. Your update will be stamped with today's date and layered alongside your original review on the beer's profile page.
Review Edit Rules
- The 24-Hour Edit Window: Once you create a review, you have one day to edit the original text and ratings as many times as you'd like.
- Creating an Append: After the first day, the original review is "locked" to preserve your initial impression. Any further edits will be saved as an append.
- A Living Profile: Your new comments and scores are added to the existing review. While the newest rating becomes the official score for that beer, your previous scores and notes remain visible as part of the beer's history.
- Timing Your Reviews: Ideally, we recommend spacing out your appends by six months to a year. This allows for seasonal variations and le terroir differences to truly set in between tastings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is append reviewing on Two Beer Dudes?
Append reviewing lets you add a new, date-stamped tasting note to a beer you have already reviewed, instead of creating a duplicate entry. All of your notes stay on one beer profile in chronological order.
How do I re-review a beer I've already rated?
Open the beer's review page and click "Write a Beer Review." If your original review is past the 24-hour edit window, the form opens in append mode with your prior notes available for reference.
Can I edit a beer review after 24 hours?
You cannot change the original review text or scores after 24 hours. You can append a new review with updated ratings and tasting notes, which are added to your review history on that beer's page.
How does append reviewing track beer aging over time?
Each append is date-stamped and stacked on the beer profile alongside earlier reviews. You can see how cellared bottles, recipe changes, or your evolving palate affected your scores over months or years.
