The Brass Tap 17+

Great App for a Great Concept

Excellent features, allows you to select your favorite Brass Tap, shows the beers available, and will even alert you when they tap a new beer!

Just doesn’t work

New update:
The main problem is the app does NOT tell you if you’ve made a mistake when logging in. If you enter an invalid brew crew id or email it just loads the app and tells you you have no beers. Apps need to tell the user if they have entered invalid ids otherwise it just looks like you have no data.
It would also be nice the be able to associate an email with a brew crew id. I can currently only log in with the brew crew id which I don’t always have at hand.

The older version used to keep track of which beers you tried. This is important since you earn points for trying each different brew so you want to try as many different things as possible. The new version just does’t show anything. You get a list of all beers and i guess in theory it should show you if you’ve tried it but there are two problems.
1. It shows all beers they have ever offered. I guess you’re supposed to look through the list then check if you’ve tried it. This is way too long a list for this to be practical.
2. It does NOT show if you’ve tried it.

Developer Response ,

Updated response: Thank you again for your feedback. Brew Crew IDs are being phased out in favor of email addresses. When logging in by email, you will always be told if the email you are trying to use is not registered. We hope this will improve your experience in the future. Thank you for your patience through this transitory period.

Original response: Thanks for your feedback! You need to log into your Brew Crew account within the app in order to see your beer history and reward points. If you are unable to log in, or if your history or points are not accurate, please contact your local Brass Tap so that we can assist you.

Major changes needed

As one review stated, it would be great to use the app itself as a means of checking in rather than the card itself. Recently I've also noticed that when I check beers I've tried, it lists ALL of their beers. And when I look at new beers...nothing is listed. It would be quite a task, but finding a way to see what beers are available at your local brass tap and then ticking them off for flights or saving them so you can order more quickly when you arrive would be helpful too. As of right now, the app is just a glorified version of the web based app.

Thanks for your feedback! I don't know that we've been able to hit all the items on your wish list, but we have just released a new and upgraded version of the app that has fixed a number of past issues and added some additional new features. Maybe give it a try and see how we're coming along?
