I agree with the information/inspiration distinction you’ve made and the way you’ve described the different strengths of the GBG and WhatPub.
I do wonder whether that Boak and Bailey post was mischievously timed to coincide with the CAMRA AGM this weekend. The GBG is CAMRA’s flagship publication. However, most users of the GBG will know that there’s a limitation on its currency. It’s better than using a website or blog that was once current but has fallen into disuse, as many have done.
