The story
Founded in 1996, BeerAdvocate (BA) is the oldest and largest independent beer community. Guided by our motto, Respect Beer, we're the go-to beer resource for millions, the benchmark for beer reviews, and the voice of the beer geek. The heart of BA is all about discovering and discussing beer. It's the place to search for beers and breweries, rate your favorites, join active forum discussions, trade beers, meet new friends, and participate in online tastings. In July 2026, BeerAdvocate returned to its roots as a fully independent, founder-owned platform.
