Discover new craft beers, one drop at a time. Tavour isn’t a beer store — it’s a daily craft beer drop. Every day at 10am and 4pm PT, we release a handful of limited-edition beers from 600+ independent breweries across the country. These small-batch brews often sell out in hours, and you won’t find them at your local store. When you see something you like, add it to your crate — you’ll be charged right away so we can reserve your beer before it’s gone. Build your crate over time, then ship it whenever you’re ready for a flat rate of $16.90, no matter how many beers you’ve collected. It’s the most fun way to discover rare craft beer — one drop at a time.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PubPass at none against Tavour's shown. PubPass also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). Tavour's advantage is ratings volume (8.8K vs 1.7K) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PubPass holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tavour has 8.8K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Tavour's written reviews are positive against 52% of PubPass's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
