This policy governs everything published on BrewAuthority.
Independence
Editorial decisions — what we test, what we score, what we recommend — are made exclusively by the editorial team. Advertisers, affiliate partners and manufacturers have no input into coverage, no preview of reviews, and no ability to modify scores. Review units are accepted only under these terms.
Testing standards
Claims of performance come from hands-on testing per our published review methodology. Where we report measurements (temperature, timing, noise, weight), they come from our instruments and are reproducible. Where we report opinions (taste, workflow feel), they're identified as judgments and formed by named humans with relevant expertise.
Prices and availability
Prices shown reflect typical retail at the time of last update and change frequently; the linked retailer's price is authoritative. We periodically re-verify prices, specs and availability across the site.
Corrections
We correct errors promptly and visibly. Substantive corrections (a wrong spec, a changed recommendation) are noted on the affected page. To report an error, contact us — corrections outrank pride here.
Bylines and expertise
Every review and guide carries a real author with relevant experience. Our reviewers' backgrounds are listed on the About page.
Updates to this policy
This policy may be revised as the site evolves; material changes will be reflected on this page with the site's next content update.
