As I said earlier, I think it would be distracting and off-topic to show the write-in votes; however, we monitor the voting carefully. If we see a place that is getting write-in votes that is worthy of being added to the list (meaning it really is a good beer bar) then we will add it to the list. In the end, we will add any write-in votes to the total.

I have added Stumbling Monk, Barking Dog and Pub at Pipers to the list.
Cheers and thanks for the input.

If you add Stumbling Monk, I would request that you also add the Piper’s Creek Pub and Barking Dog Alehouse too.

Thank you for your opinion Patrick. Allowing people to see the write-in responses would, I’m afraid, turn the comments section into a name-calling contest. We get some interesting write-in votes, to say the least.

No Stumbling Monk on the list? But Malt and Vine is? Malt and Vine is a bottle store first, beer bar second (and only barely at that).
I know you said you can do write-ins, but as any political candidate knows, that practically guarantees not winning. Plus your poll results page doesn’t even allow viewing the write-in responses.

Some choices are just that easy. Thanks Kendall!
