With over 7,450 breweries in the US alone, it's no wonder a beer lover or proclaimed connoisseur might have a hard time keeping track of all the different beers they have tried. Luckily, there are beer tracking apps like Untappd that allow users to check in to different venues and rate the beers they consume.  If you want to go a step further, you can download apps like brewbarrel, which allow you to track, rate and revisit all the beers you have consumed on your phone. This kind of beer collection app is perfect for a beer lover who wants to save time and expand on the list. Alternatively, the rate beer app has an extensive list of beers that users can look up and get information about the style, the brewery, and ratings. On the whole, these apps are great for allowing you to enjoy your hobby of trying beers and remembering them all. 

Now that you've become acquainted with apps that can help you remember which beers you have drunk (and if you like them or not), let's look into apps that keep you up to date on brews and how to get them. There are a good amount of craft beer apps that can tell you what venues are pouring what craft beers. Apps like TapHunter update frequently and provide tap lists for breweries, bars, and other venues. If you are interested in craft beer apps to find about the latest beers, you can find apps that feature news about events at breweries as well as new beers on the market. In addition, where should you go if you have a decent collection of beers at home and are looking for the best beer trading app to trade and chat with fellow connoisseurs? There is an app and social network site that allows you to connect, trade, buy and chat about all things beer related. Alternatively, there are craft beer delivery apps like Drizly where you can browse their large inventory of ales and get them delivered right to your door. 

Finally, you have all the resources to buy, consume, and track all the beers you wish. Yet, you want to take your love of beer to the next level and make your own. Well, apps can help you there too. Firstly, apps can help you find a brew your own beer kit and give you information about how to make your own beer recipe.
