Beer apps have gotten kind of bloated. I used to work in that space, now I’m building one that isn’t
I’ve been a homebrewer for a long time and spent a few years working as a software engineer in the beer app space.
Over time I kept wanting something a bit different. Less noise, less chasing engagement, more focus on the beer itself.
So I started building Taphouse.
The goal has been to keep it simple and intentional. No ads, no tracking, no pressure to make everything social.
It supports things like BJCP style reviews if you want to go deeper than a quick personal rating, tracking canned on or best by dates, multiple photos per log, and a solo mode where it’s just your own private beer journal.
There’s also a “back on tap” view that resurfaces beers you had on this day in past years, which has been a fun way to rediscover stuff I forgot about.
