Brewery trails, planned properly
BrewTrails finds the breweries around you, sorts them into a route that actually makes sense on foot, and keeps a record of every beer worth ordering again.
Try it without downloading anything
This is the job BrewTrails does, running in your browser on eight real Cleveland breweries. Tap them in any order you like — the app works out a sensible one.
Sorted for the shortest walk.
Drawn map, approximate positions. The app uses the real ones.
How a day actually goes
Search a city or open the map where you are. Filter down to what you actually want out of the afternoon rather than scrolling a list of every taproom within thirty miles.
Add your stops and BrewTrails puts them in an order that does not have you crossing the river twice, with walking, driving and rideshare times between each one. Invite friends and you plan it together, on the same trail.
Check in at each stop, rate what you had, add a photo and a note. The trail fills in behind you — and six categories of badges keep score of the places, the styles and the states you have covered.
Twenty-seven of them, and counting
Every badge is its own piece of embroidered artwork, and every one marks something you actually did rather than something you meant to do.
Coming to Canada
Yeast Van. The Barley Belt. Mile End. Quidi Vidi. You have already named your brewery districts — you just have nothing that plans the walk between them. That is a trail-shaped hole, and we would very much like to fill it.
by_country=united_states — Canada is one parameter on one
line. The real work is the rest: the geographic badges count US states, so
provinces need their own set, and a trail measured in miles is no use to
anyone in Victoria. We would rather show you this list than a launch date
we have not earned.
If you make the beer
Brewery data comes from public sources and goes stale. Yours will not.
Hours, phone, website, amenities — corrected once and then yours to maintain.
Approve what visitors suggest, or add beers yourself. Your list, worded your way.
See what visitors said and reply. Names are never shown — feedback without a public review thread.
BrewTrails is free, it is for iPhone, and it is nearly ready.
Coming soon to theApp Store
No launch date we can promise yet — we would rather say that than invent one. Leave your email and we will send one message the day it lands. Nothing else.
