Editorial policy

Useful beer knowledge, honestly presented.

Best for Beer separates researched explanation from personal tasting experience and makes corrections when something is wrong.

Editor

Jeff Riley

Best for Beer is edited by Jeff Riley. Articles are written to help ordinary beer drinkers understand styles, ingredients, brewing, pairings and the stories behind the glass without unnecessary jargon or snobbery.

Research

Sources and verification

Detailed educational and historical articles use recognised beer organisations, brewery records and primary sources where practical. Sources are listed on the page when they materially support the article.

Tasting claims

No invented first-hand experience

A beer is only described as personally tasted when a genuine tasting has taken place. General style descriptions are identified as guidance rather than disguised personal reviews.

Corrections

How errors are handled

Factual errors are corrected as soon as they are identified. Material changes may be reflected in the article's modified date. Readers can report a possible error through the contact form.

Commercial relationships

Advertising and affiliate links

Any paid placement, supplied product or affiliate relationship will be disclosed clearly. Commercial relationships do not purchase a favourable editorial conclusion.

Imagery

Photography and editorial visuals

Images are selected or created to explain and evoke beer accurately. They should not be treated as documentary evidence of a specific brewery, beer or historical event unless the caption says so.
