And I do feel that they are trying to make some parallels with the website to tie everything together, though they want each to be seperate. There is another magazine, All About Beer, I think it is called that does beer reviews too and they just get boring I suppose. I mean ten pages with three beers on each page, that's thirty beers per issue. Sometimes I'll read them if they are beers I have had or heard of, but generally it is the same thing over and over again - boring. I don't know, maybe it's good marketing for themselves and the beer companies, but it really isn't interesting (for me) to read unless the beer means something to me. Supposedly they will be adding more reviews too, I can't wait! I have never read Wine Enthusiast so I can not say about that.

They may be trying to have them act as parallel information sources. I also feel they are trying - and I could be wrong, but I am not aware of any other publication - to position themselves as the beer world version of Wine Enthusiast .
