"Available Nearby" powered by Untappd

Should be on the right side of the page. But like Todd was saying it’s only like the 1-7000 of the highest rated beers that are listed, and it’ll only show up if it’s available within 50 miles of you. It seems like it doesn’t list the brewery itself as one of those places

 

Ahh. I scrolled right past it.

 

I would second this, if it were possible. It would be a useful feature (and save some clicks) when traveling to a distro footprint of a brewery I wanted to try... without caring much about *which* beer from them I found.
@Todd - thoughts about feasibility?

 

Bummer....on both my Android phone and my laptop I am only getting results near Wichita KS even though I am in CA. My phone is not using my home internet....it is using Verizon...and that is the extent of my IT knowledge. Clearly, to be useful to me it will need to ability to put in a zip code or other expression of actual physical location.
I do love the idea to search for anything at all from a brewery instead of only a specific beer.

 

Nice feature!

I'm having fun with this feature. When I'm using my phone network (Sprint/ T-Mobile) I get results for Chicago. When I switch my phone to my home wifi I get local Cincinnati results.

 

Make sure your browser has permission to use your location. That might no be an option on your laptop.
Using IP geolocation my work WiFi shows me in NYC while Verizon data has me in Syracuse while my browser uses my phone's location.

 

....or they could just improve the widget to show info for any zip code you choose to provide. I will want info on where I will be, not where I am

 

Can't disagree, but the purpose of the widget is to automatically generate the beer's local locations without user input.

A better method for “out of town” would be integrating Untappd menus with BA's places. Pull up a venue on Places and get the location, BA reviews, and which beers they have listed on Untappd

 

Then the widget has failed to meet the objective. Telling me that some place 2000 miles away has a beer I like has zero value when that is the only location it reports.

 

I've never seen anything farther than 49.17 miles away. @Todd how far is “nearby”

 

I'm in CA, but when I read reviews under "available nearby" it gives me establishments in KS. What uh what's going on?

 

Food for though for all of you living in one place but everyone things you happen to be in Kansas https://lifehacker.com/why-does-my-ip-address-come-from-a-different-state-1829552450

 

Desktop or cell phone? Without a built-in GPS you're probably going to see what is “nearby” to wherever your IP address is registered.

My laptop doesn't have a built-in GPS, “nearby” shows either me in NYC (where my ISP's addresses are registered) or Buffalo (my VPN).
On cell phone if I deny location permissions to my browser I'm either in NYC (wi-fi) or Syracuse (cell data). When I turn on GPS and give location permission “nearby” shows where I really am.

 

This is a great idea, thanks. I just tried it out with a random beer that I know is available in a lot of spots (Founders Porter). The "available nearby" did indeed pop up and I saw that the first location was less than four miles away. It had a link that said "view menu," which I did, but Founders Porter was not listed on the menu. I thought maybe it wasn't on their draft list, it was on a bottle list, but no bottle list is posted.

 

It's on my laptop.
