Post your beers. That's it. And if you happen to be traveling and want to find the right spot in a city you don't know — or follow a local's trail through the best bars in town — Beerwatch does that too. Your friend in Tokyo just posted. Someone in Vienna found something good. The guy you met last summer is apparently in Copenhagen now. Post your beer. Watch theirs.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Beerwatch at none against Merlins Rest's shown. Beerwatch also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Merlins Rest's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
