The world of craft beer is expansive and growing fast. Craft beer enthusiasts know the struggles of keeping up with new beers, seasonal editions, and limited releases.

Fortunately, there are great, free iOS apps that can help you discover new styles, order for convenient delivery, and share your discoveries with your friends and the craft beer community.

Here are the best iOS and Android apps for finding your new favorite beers and bringing you closer to the huge craft beer community.

1. Untappd

Untappd is the place for craft beer enthusiasts to “check in” when they’ve tried new beers and visited new breweries. You can rate beers as you try them and make notes to build a craft beer journal for yourself over time. It’s a great app for exploring local craft beer and learning about your own tastes as you try new styles.

When you create an Untappd profile, you’ll be able to see the tap lists of participating local restaurants and bars to receive recommendations based on your past ratings.

With Untappd, you can also share your activity with friends and see your friends’ feeds. You can also leave comments or hit the Toast button to like a post.

Your profile and activity are both available online on the Untappd website, too. Check out the app for its huge database of craft beers and breweries and its fun social features.

2. Tavour

Tavour is an online delivery service that helps you discover new craft beers and order them right in the app for local delivery or out-of-state shipping. You can search in the app for beers from independent breweries across the US and quickly add new releases to your cart.

There’s a flat shipping rate, so you can order as many or as few beers as you want at once and pay the same shipping fee. Steadily build up your order as you browse and discover beers until your crate automatically ships in four weeks’ time.

Tavour also offers a subscription model, in which Tavour’s team chooses beers for you and ships them to you for free. You simply answer some questions about the styles of beer you like and the size and frequency of your subscription. Then, you’ll receive new crates of craft beer at the interval you choose.

Tavour gives you the opportunity to expand your tastes outside of what you’d normally choose.

3. Oznr

Oznr is a marketplace for preordering new and limited-release craft beers from around the US. On Oznr, breweries, distilleries, and other retailers sell directly to consumers, so you’ll be buying straight from the source.

One of the app’s best features is its preorder functionality, which enables you to preorder hard-to-get beers and pick them up or ship them to your house (in states where that’s available). You can even enter Oznr’s random draws for a chance to purchase the beers that are in the highest demand.

Beyond ordering beer, Oznr is also the place to purchase tickets to craft beer festivals and other events. And the most serious craft beer enthusiasts can enroll in memberships through the app, earning benefits like private sales and early event access.

4. Drizly

Another option for ordering craft beer from local stores is Drizly. This app features thousands of new and well-known beers available for purchase.

Once you’ve created an account, you can start shopping local stores for your favorite craft beers and exciting new releases. Drizly also lists other drinks, including wine and spirits.

Once you tap Place Order, Drizly will deliver your beer in an hour or less. Unfortunately, Drizly isn’t available in all locations, so you’ll have to check before you start shopping.

If you want a crash course on everything that goes into the craft of making a great craft beer, check out the BJCP Styles app.

This app provides free access to the official Beer Judge Certification Program Guidelines for beer, mead, and cider—the ultimate resource for anyone with an interest in the characteristics that differentiate styles of craft beer around the world.

And craft beer isn’t just a geeky DIY hobby—there are serious contests for brewers across the US. This app is built for those with aspirations of judging craft beer competitions.

This app is only available on iOS, though there are also similar options available for Android users.
