The shelf, can by can
Name, brewery, style, ABV, size. Six identical cans is one row with a 6 on it. Open one and it reads 5.
What’s cold, what’s aging, and what you thought of the last one.
Four screens, in that order. The form only insists on a name.

Most beer is best fresh. Some of it gets better for years. The app keeps them on separate shelves.
Scan the barcode and the can fills itself in. Nothing recognises it? Type the name.
Rate it. Tap the flavours that stood out. Six months later you know what to buy again.
Imperial stouts, lambics, barleywines, anything out of a barrel. These get a vintage field, so the row says 2021.
Hazy IPAs, pilsners, pale ales. Hop aroma is on a clock. Cold, counted, and no vintage field to tempt you.
Stout means nothing on its own. It can be an Irish dry or a 12% barrel monster. So the app checks the strength too. 8% and up, cellar. Under that, fridge. When it still can’t tell, it says so.
Everything in the Swedish retail catalogue. Filter by style, brewery, country or strength. No way to buy any of it, which is the point.
Twenty-eight styles in plain words. No exam at the end.
Glasses, growlers and cellar kit. The links go to Amazon and are marked Annons. None of them are beer.
