Beer Universe is a website where beer lovers can visit to rate, review, share and get recommendations about new beers to try. Users can also enter their zip or postal code to get a listing of bars/breweries near them. The website has over 4,000 users as of September 2010.

The site was originally constructed by another company. I have been tasked with replacing old unreliable code with new well written and well structured code. The site is programmed with PHP, dependent on a MySQL database. The site also uses jQuery and Prototype to handle dynamic javascript. Facebook Connect was also integrated into the site recently in order to make it easier for Facebook users to sign up and log in.
