## What is Hop Grail?

Hop Grail shows you what your favorite breweries are releasing next.

FOLLOW YOUR BREWERIES
Pick the breweries you love and Home fills with their beers:
• Coming soon: new beers whose labels were just approved, often weeks before they're on shelves or tap lists.
• Out now: beers that have shown up on a brewery's own beer or tap list.
• Every beer shows exactly where we saw it and when.

EVERY NEW BEER, EVERY WEEK
"New this week" lists every beer with a newly approved label, with the label art. Filter it by style or by brewery state.

BEER PAGES WITH THE REAL LABEL
See the full label, front and back, plus ABV, style and format. Save the beers you're hunting and we'll email you when one is first spotted.

SCAN A CAN IN THE STORE
Point the camera at a can's barcode, or read the label when there's no barcode, to look the beer up.

THE BREWERY MAP
Over 7,000 US breweries on one map. Check in when you visit to build your Passport.

RATE LIKE AN ENTHUSIAST
Rate beers by style, mark whether you'd buy it again, and note flaws. Your ratings stay yours.

Where it comes from: Hop Grail reads US beer label approvals every business day, plus breweries' own sites and release announcements. When we don't know something, we say so.

Check in the beer in your hand. Score it, add a note, say where you are, and choose who sees it: everyone, your followers, or just you.

• New tabs: Feed, Find, Check in and Journal.
• The Feed shows check-ins from readers you follow, newest first.
• Readers' scores on every beer page.

• The tab bar now looks right on iOS 26.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-11

Hop Grail has a new look: a new hop seal icon, and the name now reads as two words, the way people say it. Brewery names throughout the app now show the name on their sign, not their legal company name.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-07

Home is now your breweries. Follow the breweries you love and see what they're releasing next, from label approval to tap list. The first tab is now called Home.
