If you are a craft beer fan, I implore you to download the HopPlotter app. It will change the way you experience breweries forever. It will make traveling and road trips so much more fun, and probably drive the non-craft beer drinkers with you crazy. You can find all the breweries around you instantly at your fingertips, and often can find ones you never knew existed.

You simply open the app and it will display your location, then offer to search around you for nearby breweries. You can zoom in and out as well to change the search radius. You do not need to search where you are the moment, but go to any global location and search there.
Click on one of the brewery icons that comes up, and it will tell you the name of the brewery located there. It features highly detailed information like the hours and location, and even what’s on tap with descriptions! and ratings! Perfect for when you are on the road and want to make a pit stop to break up the long drive. Ideal for planning a route when brew-touring the area.
HopPlotter is not just for the U.S., you can search any place you like. I went over to Kazakhstan and found a brewery there. While there does seem to be less entries in certain areas, it is amazing to be able to find breweries no matter where you are in the world.
Cheers everyone. If you love reading about craft beer I regularly post and would appreciate your follow!
