## What is BeerBearing?

BeerBearing — Know where to raise your glass.

Sound familiar? You're settling in with a beer, ready to toast the brewery you
swear by and pay it homage — and then the big question hits: which way is it,
actually? Nobody knows. Everyone toasts in some random direction. Awkward.

That's exactly how BeerBearing came about — over a beer, of course.

With a real compass needle, the app shows you live the direction to the brewery
of your choice. Plus the distance as the crow flies, so you know how far your
beer has traveled (or how far you'd have to).

What BeerBearing does:

- Live compass - the needle always points to the selected brewery, no matter which way you turn
- 2,350 breweries across 6 countries on board - Germany, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Romania and Hungary, carefully curated
- The 5 nearest breweries at a glance - sorted from "dangerously close" to "just about an excuse"
- Search by name, town, postal code, country or beer brand
- Favorites for the breweries close to your heart
- Tap the address, copy it, navigate there - for when a toast isn't
  enough

No ads, no tracking, no account. Your location stays on your device — we just
want you facing the right way.

Whether for a proper toast at your regulars' table, your next beer hike, or
simply to shine when talking shop: BeerBearing points the way.

Cheers — in the right direction!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-23

63 new countries — every inhabited continent is now covered.

All of Africa is new: from South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria through Cameroon
and the Congo to Morocco, plus Madagascar, Mauritius and the Seychelles. South
America was also completed with Paraguay, Guyana and Suriname, and Australia
and Oceania joined — with New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Palau.

The app now covers 143 countries, 16,303 breweries and 3,568 beers.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-20

21 new countries. South America is complete — Paraguay, Guyana and Suriname
were the last to join. And a whole continent is new: Australia and Oceania,
with New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Samoa,
Tonga, the Cook Islands and Palau.

The app now covers 101 countries, 16,148 breweries and 3,222 beers.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-11

34 new countries: Greenland, Mexico, all of Central America and the Caribbean
with its overseas territories — from Cuba and Jamaica to Réunion, Tahiti and
the Falklands. The app now covers 80 countries, 15,230 breweries and 2,956
beers.

Search now handles apostrophes too: "becks" finds Beck's.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-08-30

Minor corrections to the mapping between American beers and breweries.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-27

The app leaves Europe: Brazil, the United States and Canada have been added.

With 5360 breweries the United States is by far the largest country on the
list — more than three times France. Alongside the 50 states it covers the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Canada adds 801 breweries from twelve
provinces and territories, Brazil 334.

In the US and Canada the state or province code follows the town name. That is
what makes the list readable: "Portland, OR" and "Portland, ME" are two
different cities, "Windsor, ON" and "Windsor, NS" two different breweries.

That brings the total to 46 countries with 15074 breweries and 2803 beers.

The interface now speaks 19 languages, with Brazilian Portuguese and Flemish as
separate versions rather than mere variants of the base language.
