I really don't get the whole "enter the date of your birth" thing that so many brewery websites have.
I mean, not even getting into how easy it is for a "minor" to defeat this ridiculous security mechanism, it's just STUPID. It's not like you're going to get drunk reading a website. I mean, sure I understand there is a law that they cannot sell or distribute alcohol to people under 21 in the U.S. But a website is not going to accomplish that. Or maybe they have invented a new internet technology that I really need to try.
It's not like you have to confirm your age to watch all the beer advertisements during televised sporting events, in magazines, on billboards, etc.
