Get Your Hops On. HoppedUp is a beer rating app with one strong opinion: what you drink is nobody's business but yours. No accounts. No usernames. No profiles. No feed. You rate the beer in front of you, and that is the whole app. FIND THE BREWERIES AROUND YOU Open HoppedUp and the breweries near you are already listed, closest first, with the distance to each one. Switch to the map to see how they sit around you, check today's hours, and hand off to Apple Maps when you have picked one. SEE WHAT THE CROWD POURED Every brewery has a community board: the beers people have rated there and the average out of five. Aggregate only. You will never see who rated what, because nobody can. RATE IT IN SECONDS Tap Rate their hops, pick the beer from the list or type a new one, and set a half-star rating from 0.5 to 5. Add the style and the ABV if you care to. Add a note in your own words — it stays on your iPhone, for your eyes only, and is never uploaded anywhere. TOP HOPS AND MY HOPS Top Hops ranks the best-rated beers near you, so you always know what is worth the walk. My Hops is your own shelf: every beer you have rated, best first, searchable, and kept on your iPhone. ANONYMOUS BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no email address. • No username, no profile, no followers, no feed. • Your rating history lives on your iPhone. • Your notes are never uploaded. Nobody else sees them unless you share them yourself. • The community gets the beer, the brewery and your rating. Nothing that points back to you. No badges. No streaks. No levels. No gamification. Just beer, rated honestly. You must be of legal drinking age to use HoppedUp. Please drink responsibly.
