Forget Barley And Hops: Craft Brewers Want A Taste Of Place : The Salt

Aaron Kleidon/Scratch Brewing Company The brewers at Scratch Brewing Company add wild plants like spicebush, goldenseal, wild ginger, chanterelles and wild rose root to their beer to give it the flavor of the Illinois woods. Last week, Aaron Kleidon went for a walk in the Illinois woods and returned with a bag of lotus seeds. The seeds were bound not for his dinner plate, but for his pint glass. In a few months, Kleidon will have lotus-flavored beer at the small brewpub Scratch Brewing Company, which he owns with two friends in Ava, Ill. Why, you may ask, would anyone want to add strange seeds and mushrooms to their beer?

Beer Review. Arizona. Beer. The Very, Very Many Varieties of Beer. Breweries of the United States. Taplister Launches A New Website And App For Finding The Best Craft Beers. If you’re the kind of person who chooses bars based on the beers on tap, then Taplister may be the app for you. From a consumer perspective, the Taplister website and iOS app allow you to browse nearby bars to see what beers are available, or to search for a certain beer and see which bars are serving it.

Businesses can claim their profiles, but even if they don’t, they’re still in the system with data that’s crowdsourced from Taplister users. And for bars and breweries, Taplister should provide a relatively easy way to update their menu via Web browser, telling customers about exactly what they have in stock. (That can be particularly important if you’re a small brewery without much of a marketing budget.) That information will be available in Taplister, but it can also be shared on Facebook and Twitter, and even through something that the company is calling a Digital Beer Board — a digital menu meant to be displayed in the store on an HDTV or 1080 pixel display.
