We have visited so many and have never had a bad experience! Thank you for keeping such a great app up and running! ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2025-11-23* Great app, loads of locations and loads of fun. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Super useful App *2025-10-31, version 3.3.10* This app has been very useful for us to explore NY breweries. ### 1/5 — Worked great for a year *2025-09-16* App worked great for over a year, now it opens and stays on the opening page. Can’t log in as there’s no buttons or input information. Did the update, removed and redownloaded the app. No go. Haven’t opened in over a year ### 5/5 — Such a fun idea *2025-09-13, version 3.3.7* I love visiting breweries and game-ifying it is such a fun idea! Always cool to support the NYS beer scene. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2025-06-24, version 3.3.6* This app is an amazing way to find new breweries! We have visited so many and have never had a bad experience! Thank you for keeping such a great app up and running! ### 3/5 — Map update *2025-06-22* I love this app and I will travel around the state to get stamps, but I am disappointed with the most recent update that groups breweries together on the map. Bring back the individual blue and green pins on the map please! ### 5/5 — Good App to Help Explore the Craft Breweries of NYS *2025-06-14* The app works great. It has located great breweries for us to visit. It's fun to check in and compare tasting notes of others. It works very smoothly and no glitches so far. ### 1/5 — Really outdated *2024-02-18* You’re better off just googling local breweries for a more accurate list. I saw one on this app listed that was renamed many years ago, one that was closed 7 years ago, and then another also closed. That’s when I deleted the app. Too bad - it probably was a good app when it first came out. ### 2/5 — Bad updates *2023-11-23* I’ve been using this app for over 3 years. At first it worked fine. Then I was forced to update the app and have had only problems with it since then. I keep getting forced into an update that glitches more than the original and actually lost stamps during an update of a glitch. This update was also supposed to fix glitches on the Eastern trail, yet half of my stamps still aren’t fixed. Therefore these glitches in the system aren’t getting fixed and only worse with each update. I’m also not a fan of the green/blue pins. Like the original pink/blue. ## Frequently asked questions about New York Craft Beer ### What does the New York Craft Beer app do?
