Brewee - breweries navigator

As a heavy user of this app for 2+ years (over 300 places visited), it was awesome. But it’s now less so. It seems as if it’s not maintained anymore, or infrequently at best. Adding a new brewery, editing info of an existing one, or getting closed places removed takes forever, if it’s done at all. There are places we’ve tried to have added multiple times over the course of MONTHS and nothing. It didn’t used to be this way. This app is a great starting point if you’re planning a brew hopping trip, but also use google maps to verify breweries along your route. You may find new ones not on the app or ones on the app that have been closed for some time.

Basically met everything I wanted in a brewery finding app. There’s not one brewery I know of in my state that they don’t have on here. They also were very quick to remove a place I suggested wasn’t a brewery from the app (it was a Miller bottling plant..), glad to see the devs or whoever still pay attention to this app. Just wish more people used it. I’ve been the first to review about 10 different breweries in Ohio lol, tough to get recommendations on breweries when not many people are reviewing 😅

I’m assuming that with more updates, this app will continue to improve. It’s a great idea, just not well executed. The search function is a little awkward, but the most frustrating part of it all is how incomplete the brewery list is. The list appears to be mostly user-compiled, which would be a great feature if the “Suggest a New Brewery” option actually worked properly. Anytime I have tried to upload a brewery’s logo when submitting a suggestion, the app freezes and I lose all of the info I entered. So I leave off the logo. (Whatever. The completist inside me is beating his head against a wall, but I let it go.) I suggested a brewery some time ago, and it still has not been added to the list. So what’s the point of it all if there’s an incomplete list and no way to add breweries in a more expedient way? Seems like a more effective method would be a simple Google search for “breweries around me.” Or hell, even Yelp is more informative. Wow, sorry, that was a bit of a rant. Again, I hope updates and improvements will help this app’s functionality and performance, because I do really like the concept.
