Pintly Passport turns every brewery visit into a stamp in your own craft-beer passport. Part travel journal, part beer logbook, part discovery map — it's the beautiful, private way to remember every pint, every brewery, and every tasting room you've ever set foot in. STAMP YOUR JOURNEY • Log a visit and watch a satisfying passport stamp slam onto the page. • Track breweries visited, beers logged, and states explored on your home dashboard. • Every visit keeps the date, your notes, the beers you had, and your photos. LOG EVERY PINT • Rate beers with five amber stars, add tasting notes, and flag your favorites. • Search across every brewery, beer, and visit in an instant. • Browse your beers by style, rating, or brewery. EXPLORE THE MAP • See your whole brewery universe on one map — amber pins for the ones you've stamped, teal for new ones nearby. • Find breweries near you with an adjustable search radius. • Tap any pin for hours, directions, and one-tap "Add to Passport." PLAN THE ROAD TRIP • Group breweries into lists like "Vermont Weekend" or "Coastal Crawl." • Preview the driving route across your stops with total time and per-stop distances. • Drag to reorder your stops, then open the whole multi-stop route in Apple Maps.
