Show HN: an app I built to help you find great beer

As a dedicated untappd user (500 unique beers, way more checkins), what does beerquest offer over untappd? It looks beautiful; clearly a very well put together app, but is there a compelling reason to switch? Either way, great work!

It looks like there is quite a bit of data already for Austin users (which makes sense for SXSW), but I just tried this in San Francisco and it looks pretty empty.<p>Is there an existing data set out there for beer? I know there are a TON of beer review sites, but I'm guessing none have an API or a way to integrate.<p>If you want this to take off I'd suggest trying to get a few early power users in San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle to light a fire in the Pacific Northwest as this is definitely micro-brew country.

I did a similar App for restaurants in another country, however, I did an Android and iOS version and found that much more people are using my Android app. The conversion rate seems to be better on Android as well.<p>So, I'd love to see this App on the Google Play store since I am a huge fan of great beer and the bars where to find them.

Non-app related question, is there a stock service that will slice together and create the animated screen transitions you have? I am about to put together a site for an iOS app and I'm guessing that this is common enough that I can spend a little money and save a lot of time. (any link related to buying designs/layouts welcome too)

Looks great (and I live in Austin, so recognizing some of the places was cool!) but I only have an Android phone. Would love to know if you make a version for it.<p>Is the data for this app user-submitted, or do you pull from somewhere?

Is there an IMDB of beers for apps like this to use? And wine for that matter?

I've been using <a href="http://beermenus.com" rel="nofollow">http://beermenus.com</a> for years to find awesome beers near me. They've got both web and mobile versions, which is nice.

I love this idea and it is exactly the kind of thing I want here in London.<p>Except I run and Android phone :(
