The 2024 BSP Disclaimer

Each and every year, I start the blogging calendar with a disclaimer. As a beer blogger, I feel it is important to be clear about my rules and morals.

Every beer, brewery, event, restaurant reviewed on this site whether paid for or complimentary will get the same treatment when reviewed. If I don’t like the beer, it will be described as a beer that I did not like, even if it was handed to me by the brewer and I like the brewer.

If I forget, (which probably will happen, because it has before) to mention how I got a beer or a pass to an event, then go back and read the previous paragraph.

I clearly want the Los Angeles local beer scene to continue to flourish and I want craft beer in general to do so as well. So, my reviews will also take that into consideration. Some points in 2024 will require cheerleading and others require harsh sentences. I am not subtle in any way, so I am sure you will figure it out quickly.

I will be as impartial and truthful as I can be while also staying as opinionated as usual.

The 2017 Blog Disclaimer

Each year, I start the blogging calendar with a disclaimer.  Not sexy, I know.  Maybe if I made a list of Top Disclaimers or Disclaimer with Chris Paul’s son on Vine or #hashtagged it, then it would go viral.

But here goes, let’s trudge on through the lack of snow on the streets of Los Angeles so that we can re-commence with actual blog posts about beer.

(Throat clearing noise)

Every beer, brewery, event, restaurant reviewed on this site whether paid for or complimentary will get the same treatment when reviewed.  If I don’t like the beer, it will be described as a beer that I did not like, even if it was handed to me by the brewer and I like the brewer.  If I forget (which probably will happen) to mention how I got a beer or a pass to an event, then go back and read that first tortured sentence.

I clearly want the Los Angeles Craft Beer Scene to flourish and I want craft beer in general to flourish.  So my reviews will also take that into consideration.  Some points in time require cheerleading and others require harsh sentences.

I will be as impartial as I can be and I hope to not lead anyone astray in 2014.
