This is a great app for beer lovers in The AK. Thanks for keeping it updated. ### 5/5 — Great beer app! *2014-01-16* Best app for Alaskan beer lovers. I love the ability to keep track of the beers I have drank and the ability to rate them! Just wonderful!! ### 5/5 — Everything in one location *2013-10-02* I have apps like this for other states, but this one is smoother to navigate and looks better !!! ### 5/5 — Simply superb, salute! *2013-09-01* Professional, eye stimulating graphics. In depth information on an extensive number of beers. Very unique interactive feature of iDrank icon, love it! I also enjoy the ease of navigation through the app. Will recommend over and over. Nice work guys! ### 4/5 — Lack of listings *2013-08-19* Over all I am impressed with the extensive beer listings. Informative and extensive. How do you contact the developer to add information. It is disappointing that only Brown Jug is listed for the growler bars. What about La Bodega on midtown? The first growler bar in anchorage I might add. Gold rush, value liquor etc all have a growler bat as well. Also I would prefer to have a more detailed rating system. Some one could give an IPA a bad rating just because they don't like hoppy beers (myself included) ### 4/5 — Valuable Resource for AK Beers/Breweries *2013-08-17* This is an iPhone app, but it looks OK on my iPad. It lists all the operating breweries and their current beers. Hopefully they will be able to get up-to-date info from the breweries as new beers are released. If so, it will be enormously valuable to both locals and tourists alike. ### 5/5 — Happy Alaskan Beer Drinker *2013-08-13* I've been waiting for this app. Thank you lord (of beer). Next goal in life is to visit all the breweries in the 907. The name of this app is perfect: The Beer Up Here. Now you should make an app called: The Beer Down There. ### 5/5 — Great for Beer/Photo Enthusiasts *2013-08-11* Beautiful app. Navigation is super easy. Photos are awesome. Two suggestions: possibly the ability to make notes on the beer for personal use or recollection and a total counter or a counter per brewery to keep track of the number of beers drank versus beers yet to be sampled. Otherwise great job. ### 5/5 — This app is great!!!! *2013-08-09* I love the fact you can rate all the beers! Best of all it is all about Alaskan beers! ## Frequently asked questions about The Beer Up Here ### What is The Beer Up Here?
