Genuine craft beer is hard to find. You might not know it, but most of the “craft” and “micro” breweries you see at your local grocery store are actually made by the same assembly line multinational beverage conglomerates you see advertised nationwide. So to help you distinguish the real craft breweries from the macrobrewed impostors, we made Craft Check.
Just scan the barcode or search by brewery name to instantly find out whether the beer you're looking at is an authentic craft brewery or just a crafty imitation from the big guys.
* Uses the Brewers Association definition of American Craft Brewery.
* Information on thousands of craft breweries, with new breweries added every week.
* Background updates ensure the app is always up to date for new breweries, buyouts, and changes in the beverage industry.
* Find out who owns that beer you used to think was a genuine craft beer.
* Share your results on social media and connect with genuine craft breweries.
Craft Check: Drink Craft - Not Crafty.
* Changed price to free, as in “actually, totally free. Promise.”
* Improved database operation from “generally acceptable” to “pretty good, to be honest” through adding background database updates that periodically connect to our CMS to download new and updated entries. Now as long as you have an internet connection, Craft Check’s database will be up to date.
* Revised user interface to streamline the experience. Gave screen priority to scanning and moved search to top bar, because we like scan better and search was being super weird about it. Like, just respect our choices dude.
* Added new sharing options that automatically promote brewery social media information where available, because we like promoting craft breweries…which is why we made this app in the first place. So, you know, accomplishing goals left and right here.
* “Not Craft” messaging now includes additional information on beer ownership, where applicable, because our users overwhelmingly asked for more information on non craft beer ownership. So thanks, everyone, we think it’s a neat addition too.
* Updated information on thousands of breweries.
* Removed ennui.
* Doubled moxie.
