As a general beer lover, I can give you some issues. I've visited your site before, but forgotten about it. The main issue is this is solving a problem I don't have: I already know where all my local breweries are (and you're missing some in DFW, most notably Deep Ellum and Peticolas). But that's not the point--you aren't telling me anything particularly of note about these breweries. I've been to them, I know what their tap list looks like, and I follow them to get updates. What is more important to me is building a system to find where I can find my local beer. Who's got the Rahr seasonal? Who's got Peticolas Velvet Hammer on tap? People (including me) have tried to tackle it. The problem is that distributors control that data, and they're not keen on giving it up. Anyway, I'm sorry to give harsh feedback, but I don't see me regularly visiting this site. It doesn't make my life better at all--it's just a neat way to look at stuff I already know. I think the site looks great, just solves a problem I don't have.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm not interested as where the beer came from (although, that's definitely interesting information i'd want to find when I'm already enjoying it) as I am where I can find good beer to drink! The best kind of app for that might be a mobile app where I can log the beer I had and where I'm drinking it so I can try it again later (or recommend it to someone else through your app). Once you have people posting what beer they had where, then you don't need the distributor's information anymore. Then you just need to go to bars with great beer selections and get the locals into your app. Of course, before you go down this route, you might want to pop into a few bars and ask the patrons if they would even use such an app.
