FWIW, the Ratebeer.com FAQ says: > Q. ZX Ventures, which is wholly owned by AB InBev, is an investor in RateBeer. What are you doing to ensure ratings remain fair and independent? > Answer > RateBeer is an independent and unbiased community managed by Joseph Tucker. We understand your concern and have developed quality protections to maintain our position as the most authoritative reference in beer. Among these are: > 1) RateBeer's reviews are crowd-sourced and not editorial content and as such are beyond simple influence by the site's managers and employees > 2) RateBeer offer a transparency measure in the form of an API through which other brewers, industry watchers and journalists can easily view and vet changes in scores > 3) RateBeer has existing policies against affiliated users adding reviews of their own or competitor products > 4) RateBeer is developing a system by which any user can indicate association with the industry as a means to void all of their reviews for score calculation, and public viewing, but be able to store them for personal use
