Where can I tap that? (Apps that let you tap your next local beer.)

Just imagine: it’s a warm, sunny day in the Pacific NW and your palate is craving for a hoppy taste. Cheap beer is not going to satisfy your thirst my friend. Plus, why not shop local and support that microbrewery that is nestled around the corner, right? Your thirst needs help and aid is an   app on your phone.

Here is the Top 5 Best Apps for Local Beer that I recommend you download and try out yourself.

#1 “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.”

I want to highlight “Happy Houred,” a free app that takes your current location and then locates surrounding bars to find the ultimate drink deals! Happy Houred encourages its users to add new bars, which means that deals are constantly being added to your radar once you punch the clock. With this app, over 700 cities in the U.S. are available for scouting out prime time Beer Me Bro’ bonding with your friends! Happy Houred is a top favorite and is a definite DOWNLOAD!

#2 My mind is telling me I am thirsty, and my mouth wants a microbrew.

Just a horse needs to be led to the watering hole; a thirsty consumer needs their mouth led to a satisfying microbrew. This is the ideal app for the consumer who wants to venture out and find craft beer. Find Craft Beer relies on GPS tracking to locate pubs, breweries, bars, liquor stores and homebrew stores from the palm of your hand. For only $0.99, Find Craft Beer enables a user to customize their settings to select from all of these options and target the nearest destination to lead your mouth to a microbrew.

Cost: $0.99

 

#3 Three cheers for iBeers Pro!

As a kid did you enjoy “Where’s Waldo”? If not, that’s too bad, because this app is the same concept, but of course with beer. iBeers Pro earns their name by listing more than 2,700 hoppy varieties and profiling each beer as if it were a CIA agent. Each beer is categorized by the country of origin, brewer, type of beer and bottle size. In addition, users can rate various beers and the iBeers Pro app allows you to create a favorites list. Now all Apple has to do is introduce Beer Genius, a brew database that collects your favorites, creates drink lists and refers you to other brews. iBeers Pro is an essential app for the Indiana Jones of beer drinkers, the consumer who likes to branch out beyond their normal  beers. A Lite version is offered for $1.99 and the regular iBeers Pro version can be downloaded for $2.99.

  Cost: $2.99

#4 Beer me with that…..

Let’s say you’re out with some friends and you need to know how to pair the food with the booze beverage. How do you sync Cajun food with a beer? I want sushi, but how do I get my brew on? Beer Match is beer’s answer to Match.com by pairing 31 styles of beer with more than 500 different kinds of foods! Within seconds, Beer Match lets you promptly find out if the pale ale or the pilsner is the better choice when planning food for your palate. This app is on the value menu to be downloaded for only $0.99!

                                                        Cost: $0.99

#5 What would beer be without entertainment?

This next app places 5^th on our list and serves the purpose of showing off without attempting a keg stand. The iBeer app is a $0.99 gem that allows the user to choose between 5 different beers and moves as you tip your phone.  Realistic picture quality allows you to jostle the drink and make it disappear! The belch at the end can make any bystander think you are Homer Simpson.

                 Cost: $0.99

I encourage you to ask Siri about recommendations for local beer and share the responses and experiences by posting on our blog.
