    I've just bought my first smartphone and I'm searching for a good beer finder app, one that's geared towards the UK. Any recommendations?

    There's Craft Beer London... but only good if you're in London :stuck_out_tongue: Untapd is apparently good :slight_smile:

    I use Untapd as it's a pretty good mobile app & have very, very rarely had to add beers on it
    so is great when out & about for recording beers & then have all info to add to Ba easily at hand

    never used it to find places & beers though.

    Perfect Pint has always worked pretty well in the areas I've been in, give it a try!

    The good pub guide is a free app a covers all of uk. It is aimed more at the food than the beer but I have found it reliable.

    Cask Finder from Cask Marque is useful, as is Good Beer Guide

    Not an app but try http://whatpub.com/ , it's the CAMRA website listing all pubs selling proper beer.It should tell you opening times too, important for village pubs unfortunately.
    What it doesn't do is rate the beer quality , this would render the Good Beer Guide obsolete.

    A friend of a friend toured with them too. Best live band I've ever seen, purely because the sound exactly the same as they do on CD.
