NEVER USE THIS!
I wish that I could rate this app zero stars! It is now 2025 and syncing has been disabled for over a year now due to “server maintenance.” This was supposed to have been completed in “Spring 2024” according to my inoperative sign in page and still absolutely nothing has been done. Now I can neither access my synced data nor download my data file for use elsewhere. As a result, I have over 500 journal entries that are utterly inaccessible! The developer’s tech support is entirely unresponsive as well. NEVER, EVER USE THIS SOFTWARE OR YOUR PAINSTAKING WORK WILL BE LOST FOREVER!

Best beer app period.
This has to be hands down the best beer app ever. The features like the map to locate the nearest brewery makes for a blast when you travel.
However, the neatest thing has to be how it makes you break down and really malt e the beer you are having, smell, taste, color, mouthfeel, total before and after for people alejo are really into beer.

Good experience
Have been using this app for over a year now and been very pleased with its performance. It was the only app I could find that replaced a previous app that ceased to be supported. A lot of breweries are on the database but living in the UK it’s mainly only the popular breweries that are covered. The good thing is you can expand your personal database. I mainly use the app as a personal record of ales sampled when and where. Hoping the developers keep supporting it in the future

Buggy app
Takes a full 10 seconds to load the brewery search page.
Almost perfect for me
I’ve been using this app for about two years, and it has been ideal for me. Able to add beers and breweries simply, easy to put in the information, and able to customize what you want to put in (I.e. if you taste kumquat, just hit “add custom” in the taste part of the log and you can add kumquat.). I did have an issue with crashing for a bit - contacted the designers, and Alex from Looking West worked until he found the issue. Much appreciated! Highly recommended.

Crashes
I like that this app has breweries and beers from all over the world and not just the United States. However, when I go to use the google search feature to add one not listed it crashes every time! I wouldn’t have paid $4.99 for this app if I knew it was going to be such a pain to use.
Response from developer
Thank you for letting us know. We have fixed the GS issue. We appreciate your feedback. You can always send us an email at support@mybeernation.com with any questions or concerns as well as feature requests you would like to see. Cheers, -MBN
It won't sync, and it's very irritating
I had this app on my iPhone. I had more than 119 beers journaled from all over the world! Unfortunately, my iPhone stopped working. As a result, I had to download it on my iPad. However, when I logged into my mail through the app, it doesn't seem to have saved ANY of my journaled beers. I CANOT lose those journaled beers! I had it synced. Why is it not working?

Great update
This is a great app and the new update makes it even better. Journal and drink!!
Great beer app
LOVE THE NEW UPDATE! This is the best app for keeping track of the breweries I visit. Love the brewery wishlist!
Find the breweries, detail your beer rating
If you like craft beer and visiting the breweries., this app is for you. Even if you only go on one Beercation, this app will set you in the right direction. I belong to a beer club in San Diego and this is my go to app. Updating the breweries must be a huge undertaking. And for sure some breweries may be missing. But there is a place to request adding breweries. They did for me and within 48 hours it was up. Awesome support
Pro's:
Provide a map with location and websites of breweries
It allows you to rate the beer and actually judge it, for taste and quality (much better than untapped)
Very user friendly
Prompt response to requests.
Dedicated to making updates
$4.99 app worth the price of not missing a craft brewery
Con's:
Not all breweries are listed. Might be asking for too much
Sync's through e-mail to your other devices
Buy it you will enjoy it in any city with breweries

Great app for your beer journey
This is a really great app! If you love beer and love touring breweries, this is a must have app. If you enjoy different crafted beers, this is your app. It's really great.
Great great support from Dan! I throw him a brewery and it's added quickly. This is the best beer journaling app out there.

Beer Me
This app started off strong. I like the usability and it was updated to make it easier and provide more tasting notes. It does not have every brewery list that has opened in the last 6 months but they have added an option to"add a new brewery" now. Great Journal.
Go for the free apps
It's not a terrible app, it works and all, but it is missing so many breweries. I only bought it because I figured because it's paid it would have a more comprehensive list. Most of the free apps list more than this one, save your money.
Wow
I love this app! I have been using my 'notes' in my phone to keep track of the beers I have tried, but it's very lack luster to say the least. I tried a free app, but it did not list the beers the way I like and I want a place for notes if I choose to add any. This app allows you to sort your list. While my preference is by brewery, you can choose to sort by beer name, date of entry, your ranking, beer style, ABV %, IBU, or price.
When looking at a brewery, it shows you if they have a tasting room, tours, or food. You can mark whether you have visited it, toured it, if it's on your wish list, or if it's your favorite. It usually already has the beers that that brewery makes for you to select from, but you can also add to the list if it is not there. It also has the address, phone number and a link to the brewery's website.
The map feature lets you see where the breweries are and if you marked as visited or toured.
I like the fact that it syncs to all my devices (iPad & iPhone). I'm in the processing of transferring my notes to this.
I have two improvements I recommend:
1. The ability to share your list with others. Maybe it has it, and I just haven't found it yet.
2. Since it lists the beers already for most of the breweries, why can't it already have the style, ABV, & IBU?
Thank you for this app!!!

Good beer journal
From all the other apps I've tried many this is by far the best! I love keeping track of the different breweries I go to and beers I drink. I think this is well put together. I recommend it! One thing I hope is changed is that the already added beers in the library that I add to my journal pass the info like % alcohol, IBU, etc.

Great app
This is the perfect app for keeping track of what beer you have tried and your ratings.
Best beer app on the market
Fun and easy to use. I have over 200 beers journaled and it's become my go to beer app. Their tech support is second to none. Looking forward to seeing them expand and improve over time!
Boutique Beer profiling app at its Zenith
If you are exploring boutique beers, you need and will love this app.
Easy to learn and use. It's informative and encourage adventures if you are touring.
Extensive brewery and product listing attached.
Geographical profiling easily searched, whether you are in New York, or Melbourne.
Recording (Journaling) your tasting opinion and preferences is both a quick and deep thoughtful process that teaches you more about the beer you selected and experienced.
Tasting, palate & visual notes have deep categorisation listings, with the option to add your own titles, if one of the extensive categories is not the word you want to use.
One touch sort to find Brewers closest to you.
You touch the GPS arrow in the top right corner and then sort by how close or sort by alpha or search and there is the brewery. And there is their full range of beers.
WOW.
Easy to add a new discovery (ie: brewery and/or beer range).

Best beer app out there
I've tried multiple beer apps in the attempt to find a functional beer journal. This one definitely fits the bill. Easy to journal, find breweries, and look up beers. Great app!
Helpful!
Use this App all the time. Have discovered many new brew pubs with the help of this App.
