Caaalifornia Looooove š¶
Our beer festival app was back on tap at another awesome brewfest last weekend. This was our first event in California, which is a tasty addition to other events we support in Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, and Maine. We collaborated with event organizers who were looking for something fresh for the 29th annual California Brewers Festival.
Brewers from throughout California were introduced to our slick vendor portal for the first time. Feedback was fantastic, as we heard many of them share how easy it was to craft their menu in minutes. Breweries, cideries, wineries, and distilleries all looked sharp, while attendees got to see all that was being poured. After gates opened, beer lovers had fun tracking a few favorites and organizers appreciated the creative support our team provided every step of the way.

There’s something fresh about releasing new #brewtech at the industry’s largest annual pilgrimage, the Brewers Association’s Craft Brewers Conference.
It feels like a lifetime ago, but CBC is where our team first revealed our patented electronic serving system at #CBC16 in Philly. We then returned to formally welcome the world to #SmartFlights at #CBC17 in Washington DC. It’s been awhile since we’ve released fresh tech, but we’re thrill to be at #CBC22 to introduce a new tool for the taproom.
TasteTrackerā¢ is a fun, interactive, data-driven platform that allows thirsty customers to learn more about each beer on tap.

We’ve added a fresh feature to our beer festival app!
Sponsor spotlights allow event organizers to highlight partners who understand the value of endless eyeballs that our brewfest app attracts before, during, and after an event. This dynamic feature gives our clients full control of how many sponsors to showcase and where they land within the app. Knowing how valuable this placement is, we’ve literally given event organizers a fast way to cover the cost of our technology and we’re thrilled to see how progressive event organizers are using the sponsor spotlights to create all-new revenue channels!
Click over to the beer festival app page to see how this slick feature pairs with all the other things that make our dedicated beer festival app the most powerful, affordable, and easy-to-use solution for events of any size.

62 breweries, 307 craft beers, and 3,000+ beer lovers emerged from hibernation to enjoy the 2021 Iowa Craft Brew Festival.
We’ve been waiting a looong time for in-person beer festivals to return. This made the 2021 Iowa Craft Brew Festival special. Our beer festival app was in full effect (with a few new features!) and the Best of Fest Award was up for grabs. It was great to catch up with so many friends from all around Iowa, while making a bunch of new ones as well.
The Iowa Brewers Guild has traditionally hosted #ICBF in the heart of downtown Des Moines and while the urban vibe was always cool, this year’s shift to a more spacious, natural environment was well-received. The live music was fun too! Below is our festival summary and a few photos to highlight this triumphant return to brewfests.
