Finding Beers (a must read):

BreweryFans.com is brand new website. That means we probably do not have all of the beer data you are looking for at the moment unfortunately. Currently, we have about 35,000 beerspot records from distributor data for SweetWater Brewing, Clipper City Brewing, DogFish Head Brewery, and Yazoo Brewery.

We will be constantly adding thousands of new beerspots as breweries and distributors begin to work with us. If you know a distributor or brewery person, please encourage them to contact us soon! In the meantime, you should find your favorite beers and set alerts on them and we will notify you when we have distribution data for those beers in your city! Setting alerts helps us see what brewery data is in high demand, so add a lot!

Finally, you can help us and this community! If you know a beer is available at a specific location, then add a beerspot for it. It is extremely easy and only takes a few seconds. If you want to add multiple beerspots at once, go here to learn how to submit a spreadsheet that we can directly import into our distribution database. It is simple!

Why Join Fan Clubs?

When you join your favorite brewery fan pages you will receive news, announcements, event information, and much more from the brewery owners and brewers. You also help the breweries track where their largest fan bases are so they can expand distribution to those areas. Finally you can also give suggestions to the brewers and review the beers you have tried so the brewers better understand their fan's tastes and demands. So, join your favorite brewery fan pages now and tell others to do the same!

Do You Know a Brewery Owner?

Help us connect with breweries you know so they are aware of the BreweryFans.com services. They can read the brewery info page on how to get started or contact us directly. The site's value to you will increase as more breweries become a part of our partner network. We aim to make a dramatic impact on the craft beer revolution by enabling microbreweries to leverage technology and their loyal fan bases to sell more beer, more often and expand more efficiently and easily.

Distributors, Where is Your Data!

We are good friends with Craig Purser, President of NBWA. We hope to work with hundreds of distributors across the world to empower them to quickly and easily digitize their distribution data and push it to any website, iPhone, Droid phone, and Facebook application.

Digitizing your craft beer distribution data through the BreweryFans.com platform will give you an advantage over other distributors and will show your passion for the craft beer segment. It is very simple and completely free to send us your data. Go here to learn more how you can work with us.

Are You Still Reading?!

Wow, you must be exhausted, I know I am after writing this. It is only 11:30am, but that means it is 5:30pm somewhere, so I am off to go get a beer and some lunch.

In all seriousness, we have spent a ton of time and money building this site for the craft beer industry. The technology behind it is the most state of the art web technology available today. We hope you enjoy the site, find it useful, and encourage others to check it out. If you have ideas or suggestions for us, you will see a button called "Feedback" on the left, click it and add your idea for us to consider as we continue to develop new innovations and useful services for you and the craft breweries you love! Peace out....Jonathon, Gavin, Larry, Ginger, and Brandon.
