Direct from The Growler Station:
“Sure we plan to build a big database with lots of beers, but quantity isn’t really our goal, its quality. Our aim is to showcase the most relevant Craft Beers that consumers are most interested in, and to make our wizard easy to navigate to help find the perfect beer.” (Tony Lane, Vice President of The Growler Station)
Requirements: IOS 5.0 or later,
Internet connection (WiFi, 3G, or 4G)
There is now a “View Menu” link on the upper right of the location detail page, just beneath the map. So you can now save your favorite locations, and navigate to store menu very easily.
The app is supposed to send an email with an activation link in order to activate your account. It doesn’t do that. I’ve even checked my junk folder and no email there. I’ve tried to reset my password and no email has ever shown up.
This is such a cool app! Lots of great beer info and I love how I can filter by beer characteristics. Awesome.
The beer Lover's bible. A must app. Great food pairing suggestions. Been waiting for someone to do this. Thanks!!!
It takes a very long time to load on the new iPad. At first I didn't even know if it would ever load. Luckily when it finally loaded I was pleased with the layout. I hope it can be updated for the retina display soon. It's going to be so pleasant once all apps are retina ready.
Clearly, this is the "official" guide to craft beers. A few other attempts have been made that look more like individual hobbyists trying to categorize their favorite beers, but this app has backing, seems professional. I find it very helpful in learning about craft beers and expanding my horizons.
What a great app! I can start with a beer I know I like and find others that I should like as much. If food is in the equation, why not pair your brew?! To top it all off, if you link to your local Growler Station you will know they have what you want before you leave the house. I'm not sure there is more I could ask for.....maybe delivery!
There seem to be only about 20 beers in this app. That's an embarrassingly paltry selection.
Even for an individual that has just acquired a taste for craft beers, I do love the amount of in-depth information found in this app. I do not have to worry about conducting loads of research on these beers because each category comes with a detailed description and even suggests the best glass for the job. I highly recommend!
