In an effort to make it easier to find your favorite Ontario craft beer , the OCB has launched its new Beer Finder app for Apple and Android platforms. Basically this allows you to discover the 50 plus breweries that make about 70% of the province’s independent craft beers. Every time you open the app you are greeted personally with news of the latest releases – you can then dive in and get the details on both the beer and the brewery it comes from. It then allows you to rate the beer with various attributes such as appearance ,mouthfeel ,aroma and flavour.
There is then a area for you to track the beers you have tried and your favorites. The next cool thing is a brewery finder that allows you to get details such as location, contact info and beers available. Perhaps the most useful tool is the beer finder – this allows you to search individual beers and allow you to rate as well , but more importantly where you can purchase. A map appears and shows LCBO , Beer Store ,bars and the brewery locations that sell the beer you are in pursuit of.
Getting out there and supporting your local breweries is not only is allot of fun, but it supports a local industry that employs thousands of people in the province that embraces the true spirit of adventurous business entrepreneurship!
