    I was just going through the app store looking for local apps in general and saw one for Minnesota Beer Activist, which I hadn't expected, so I downloaded it. Then looked up mnbeer and did not see one. I haven't tested the activist app yet, but are there any other apps out there that are specifically relevant to MN or the Twin Cities? And not things where any one bar or brewery has developed an app just for themselves, but I am talking a more general app relating to the regional beer scene.

    I haven't seen one yet, then again I haven't been looking either

    Yes, that is the one that I was referring to having downloaded. Earlier, I went to one of their events at Nomad.

    ah, the beer activist app is the only one I've heard of, nothing else currently in development

    We actually have an update in progress. What would you like to see in an app?

    a beer list for bars
    the ability to search for beer available at liquor stores
    a map for brewery addresses/directions

    As nice as the first two would be, I think it's a next to impossible task.

    I agree, but it is something I'd like to see in an app.
    If we could even get the distributor for a brewery, that could help track down liquor stores that have ordered product within the past 30 days

    It would be great, but you're asking for a lot of information that most private companies would not willingly give out, and I don't think distro's can either, since they would ultimately be giving up some of that stores sales records

    First two suggestions would be pretty tough for several reasons. However, we'll look into it.
    We will roll maps in to the next update.

    looking forward to the update!
