    I have spent the last few days looking over this board and I must say I am very sad to see that this is held as a BevBoard for discussion for or by any professionals. I have been in the business for longer than most of you have been alive and I am taken aback at what I have read.
    I came to this board because I had received an interesting can, a new energy drink called "Think Pink Energy Drink". The can is very different and the product is quite good and put out by a company called Hollywood Beach Beverages. I simply wanted more info on this company and got attacked on this board. I was compared to Energydude and told I was in business somehow with him? I took some time to read the post regarding Energydude and him distributing SumPoosie and while I agree he is very enthusiastic about his product I say who cares and what is wrong with that. I went to the sumpoosie.com website and I thought it was hysterical. If it taste better, looks better, smells better, great! They are also proud about being an American made product, again great. From what I gathered if everyone wasn't bashing him there would be little interest in this board because I don't see anyone else bringing anything of substance to this board. My advice to really make this board worth while try to be helpful not hurtful, I think there is enough hurt in the world already. In the mean time I will look elsewhere for stimulating conversation because this just doesn't seem like the place for people trying to do good business.

    Perhaps you didn't read enough from this board. Over time there have been many good discussions on many different topics. There have always been those who would come to this site to "hawk" their particular beverages. They are easy to identify.

    The composition of the "regulars" here is made up of beverage professionals as well as interested consumers. That is why I enjoy this forum. If one can get past the "flamers" this can be a good site to exchange ideas and opinions.

    Check back in a while and perhaps you will find more engaging topics.

    I love this board. I've been a part of it for nearly 5 years now, and it is the only place where you have the advatage of having many eager consumers and beverage professionals to answer any questions you have. It's also a god place to get a heads-up on new products, and find out which products are worth trying after reading the various reviews here. Sure there are some "assclown" characters, but somtimes, it's just another form of entertainment, and nothing to get worked up over. Usually it's just a little friendly difference of opinion. Overall, this board is awesome!

    I enjoy this board and find it mostly very informative. Seeing as I am in Spain it's a good way to find out what does what and where in the US.

    Also a great place for someone looking for a beverage and on occasion a laugh.

    I second the above posts. Hell, the people at Bevnet and the people on this board (as well as their archived threads) were, I dare say, INSTRUMENTAL in helping me form and develop Inko's White Tea.

    Of course, if my company fails I'm gonna blame each and every damn one of em!

    This board is at the very least entertaining so don't give up. People just have a hard time saying anything nice especially on this board. I also received one on the "Think Pink" cans today and I tried it and thought it was great. In2beer if you look on the can there is a Toll Free Number on it that you can call. The Paw Print is pretty cool. Good Luck!

    I agree with you In2beer, I came to this site to gain some insight of the beverage industry. But instead I found nothing but bickering, back stabing and nonsence on this site. I have too, gone elseware to gain my information. I have been in the beverage biz for some time and I am always looking for new venues. Good luck in your search!

    Professional coversation, professional products, good reviews, the site is excellent. I use it to find educated companies for our electric merchandising barrels. Keep up the good work.

    This board seems to pick on anyone that has an opinion. I thought that is what a board is for.
    Success in business comes from listening to others, taking that information then implementing a strong business plan. Passion for ones work is the added ingredient that moves the business forward. PASSION!
