Free Beer Consumer Site Hits A Milestone
July 20, 2004 (Press Release) --
BOSTON, MA - July 20, 2004 - The popular on-line beer community, BeerAdvocate.com, is celebrating their recruitment of over 20,000 members worldwide, which population wise is the size of town or two army divisions. Site members hail from 127 countries, with 71% of the total membership active on a regular basis. Usership averages over 1.5 million unique visitors per month, while the site welcomes over 1,500 new members every month, making it one of the largest, fastest growing, most active, and most popular beer communities and resources in the world. *
BeerAdvocate.com President and Co-founder, Todd Alström, attributes part of the staggering growth to the fact that, "We're seeing an increase of people becoming bored with bland, soulless, fizzy yellow beer and now many are demanding a level of taste, quality and diversity that's found in craft beer. BeerAdvocate.com offers an educational and fun resource that empowers beer drinkers to unite, think and drink better beer. It's a revolution of both the palate and mind." With its current growth rate, Alström estimates site membership will exceed 50,000 by the end of 2005.
Craft beer stems from a concept of brewing, or rather a brewing attitude, that's common among, but not limited to, many of the small independent breweries throughout the world, where taste, quality, creativity and passion reign and its masters are true artisans.
