Welcome to the WikiProject Beer Collaboration of the Month! This effort seeks to identify articles within the field of beer and breweries—including beer culture and regional practices—that require improvement. Every month, a single article will be selected as the collaboration, and everyone will be welcome and encouraged to improve it as much as possible. Additionally, a number of miscellaneous beer topics will be listed for collaboration over indeterminate periods of time.

[edit] Canadian beer

Beer and breweries in Canada. I created this article a while ago, it's seen a number of other contributions, but it's still in rough shape. Maybe we can work it to FA status.

[edit] Gueuze

Needs history, breweries, beers, etc. feydey 08:59, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Support

2. Kajerm 06:59, 25 May 2007 (UTC) - This is an extremely important style, both from a historical and influential standpoint.

Comments

1. (I don't know if this is the right place to put this) I've added some historical info(commercial production), but more on Etymology. Not much I've been able to find written about it's history/commencement of production...Also, does it need the 'Styles of Beer' Box adding, or would it be classed as a Lambic?

[edit] Finnish beer

Besides Canada, they must brew beer in Finland. feydey 20:12, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Sahti is important, but I'm not aware of any other notable Finnish contributions. This could be my own ignorance of course, but every country has its own indigenous pale lagers; if this is all that would be added outside of Sahti, I think that Sahti ought to be the priority rather than Finnish beer. Kajerm 07:02, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Some of them are: Karjala, Lapin Kulta, Karhu, Olvi. --Xinjinbei 22:05, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Italian beer

Just a stub at the moment, which doesn't seem right for a country with considerable brewing tradition in the north, and major international brands from eg Birra Peroni. FlagSteward (talk) 12:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Maintenance

At the beginning of every month, a new collaboration article should be selected. This should generally be the candidate with the most support (and the oldest candidate in case of a tie).

To archive the current collaboration:

1. Remove {{WikiProject Beer collaboration}} from the top of the current collaboration article.
2. Change the date details on the article talk page past-collaboration=<start date>–<end date> in the {{Beer}} project banner to include the end date.
3. Add the current article to the bottom of the history section.
4. Move the current article's nomination text to the archive.

To select the new collaboration:

1. Add {{WikiProject Beer collaboration}} to the top of the new article.
2. Move the new article's nomination text to the "Current collaboration" section.
3. Update Wikipedia:WikiProject Beer/WikiProject Beer collaboration/Current to point to the new article.
4. Replace collaboration-candidate=yes with past-collaboration=<start date>–<end date> in the {{Beer}} project banner at the top of the new article's talk page. The "<end-date>" element should read "open" to start with.
5. Add {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Beer/WikiProject Beer collaboration/Notice|Name of article}} ~~~~ to the talk pages of users who supported the new article.
