I like the design, it's quite clean. Your blogs make for interesting reading too.

The concept reminds me of Untappd (http://untappd.com/) though theirs is a mobile app.

I was also impressed that this didn't just limit down to American beers, but it had some of my native Aussie beers also. Nice work!

Ideas:

- Maybe load the beer names via AJAX for the search box so that I can get suggestions of what I'm typing for.

- Have a mouseover tooltip on the thumbs up/down, bookmark etc. buttons so that I know what they do. It's not immediately obvious what the eye button does.
