There’s a couple of small but significant new features I’m introducing to BeerSweden as of today.

First up is the news that it’s now much easier to to following my postings and activity over at the BeerSweden Facebook fanpage directly from this site. Check out the Facebook panel on the right-hand side of the homepage and remember that if you’re not already a fan simply press the button to become one (and put a smile on this old beer nerd’s face).

Second up is the fact that after much contemplation (and quite a few email requests) I’ve decided to start rating beers using a numerical scale between 0 and 5, with 0 representing a drain-pour and 5 being the beer equivalent of a straight flush.  I’ve created a simple (but I hope helpful) review template in which you can quickly get a snap-shot of how a beer looks, smells, tastes and what kinds of foods it could potentially pair well with.

First out is Mohawk Rye IPA, which you can read about here. More interesting brews will however continue to get more in-depth coverage in an additional post of their own.

I hope you like the new-look ratings. If you do, let me know and if you don’t tell me why not. This is a beerocracy after all and your comments are always appreciated!

Cheers and beers!
