The Craft Experience is an app for craft brewery enthusiasts that helps you plan your next craft adventure. No account necessary, just install and launch the craft experience. We like craft beer, we make craft beer, and we make apps. The Craft Experience is private, by design. Who is an Independent Craft Brewery? What do I need to know about the brewery? Where is their taproom located? When are they open? Why is craft beer so awesome?!? How can I get the full brewery taproom experience? We had the same questions, that’s why we made The Craft Experience. This app combines everything you’d want to know about a brewery all in one spot so it is quick and convenient whether you’re wanting to check out a new brewery, or do your usual rotation and visit a few all together. Features: • View all of the Independent Craft Breweries in Minnesota all in one convenient place. • Check out taproom details like hours, tap lists, and more in a familiar and consistent way. • Record your favorite breweries and brews, all saved privately on your device and in your iCloud account. • Find nearby breweries with the interactive Nearby map. • Get notifications on the go when you’re nearby a brewery or taproom. • Find all of the beer snob brew stats you could ever want. The Craft Experience is designed and developed in Minnesota. The initial launch of the application will support Independent Craft Breweries in Minnesota with plans to expand nationwide in the future. Please, drink craft beer responsibly. Want to be part of our beta app?
