Craft beer discovery, built for the trade

Get found by people
looking for beer.

Craft beer information and opportunities are spread thin across general platforms that were built for something else. Pourfinder puts the breweries, the venues, the beers and the events in one place — and puts them in front of drinkers at the moment they are deciding what to drink and where to go.

Why we are building this

Craft beer deserves better than a feed.

A brewery announces a release on one platform, a venue posts its tap list on another, the event is on a third and the beer itself is catalogued on a fourth. Pourfinder brings the breweries, the venues, the beers, the events and the drinkers who care about them into one place that was built for exactly this.

None of those platforms were designed for beer. They cannot tell a NEIPA from a mild, they do not know whether a pub still has the cask on, and they have no interest in helping a drinker in an unfamiliar town find the one bottle shop worth the walk. Pourfinder is for exactly that.

How it fits together

One record for a beer. Everybody who touches it, connected.

A brewery owns the truth about its beer. A venue owns the truth about what it has on. Pourfinder joins the two, and shows a drinker which is which.

  1. Brewery

    A brewery keeps its beers, artwork and releases right, and says which venues stock them.

  2. Beer

    Each beer carries its style, strength, artwork and story — one record, not six half-copies.

  3. Venue

    A venue confirms what it actually has on, and when it last said so.

  4. Drinker

    Someone searching for that beer, or that style, or just somewhere good nearby, finds it.

A brewery saying it supplied a venue is a different fact from a venue saying the beer is on. Pourfinder keeps them apart, and shows when each was last confirmed.

What you publish, what they see

Two screens, one update.

You keep your own information current in a portal built for the job. A drinker sees it in the app, with the date it was confirmed attached.

What we will not tell you

We cannot promise you customers, sales or footfall, and we do not. What we can do is make your beer, your venue and your events findable by people who are looking for them.

We are pre-launch. That is the window we are working to, not a guaranteed date. We would rather arrive with something finished. Where something is built and proved we say so; where it is coming, we say that instead. See exactly where the integrations stand →

Next step

Have a look, then have a word.

See the product for yourself, or tell us about your brewery or venue and we will take you through it. No payment, no commitment, nothing collected before launch.
