7/3/2011 - v1.22 - Facebook Fix for all clients, Facebook should now be fully operational!

6/24/2011 - v1.21 - Quick fix for Force Closes on beers with null Style Ratings.  Sorry about that!! This will fix it.

6/24/2011 - v1.20 - Finally, another update!  Sorry, we've been working hard on the iPhone version, which is almost ready for release!  We've added 5-star ratings, a 1-100 Beer Style rating, some interface improvements, and an experimental Twitter share function!  Enjoy!

The Twitter share may cause a Force Close the first time you authenticate the app -- IT WILL WORK FINE AFTERWARDS.

UPGRADE NOTES:

- You will NOT lose your favorites.  They will become entries in the new "My Rated Beers" page, and will be set to 0-stars initially, so you can rate them at your leisure.

- The new interface should be just as intuitive as the old one, but please contact us if you're having trouble!

Is the beer lover in your life tired of swimming through a sea of beer apps, just to get the results he or she needs, on the spot? Well, they can stop drowning in their vat of beer apps, The Beer Expert App is now available.

Unlike any other beer-information app on the market, The Beer Expert draws from a database of hundreds of thousands of beers – almost every beer on the planet.

For either regular beer lovers, or true beer aficionados, the inability to recognize the beer that’s in front of you, now, is extremely frustrating. But imagine being able to walk into any package store, grocery, brewpub, or bar, having a look at the beer selection before you and immediately having access to every beer’s vital information.

According to Matt Simpson, owner of The Beer Sommelier ® and the creator of the The Beer Expert, this app provides that exact information and more. “With a burgeoning and ever-growing beer market, and other folks producing beer apps, we had to create ours to be bigger, better, more robust and simply more useful than any other available,” he says. “And this app will be attractive to anyone who enjoys beer, not only the ‘beer geeks,” he added.

By either taking a picture of the beer’s upc code, typing in its name, or speaking it into your phone, The Beer Expert will immediately provide the user with the beer’s commercial description, a.b.v., style and several user reviews, along with a picture.

And once the user has sampled the beer, if they disagree with one of the provided reviews, they can give it a “thumbs down,” which will be monitored by the developers. Likewise, they can give great reviews a “thumbs up.”

The secret to The Beer Expert’s comprehensiveness is it bringing together two of the beer world’s greatest forces;
The Beer Sommelier ® and RateBeer.com, which is arguably the largest beer database on the Internet. This combination allows for simply the most comprehensive, accurate and complete listing of beers available in the world…over 300,000 beers at the app’s disposal.

"TheBeerExpert App is by far the best beer search app I've found for Android. I've been using the RateBeer app and BeerAdvocate's website for looking up beers. So TheBeerExpert is a welcome change and worth the money." - Tom W.
