Join the largest real-life beer community. Discover local breweries on an interactive map, get alerts the moment a new release drops, and meet Beer Buddies near you.
Open the app and the breweries around you are already there. Tap a pin for what's pouring today, who's inside, and how to get there.
Each brewery keeps its own page current — the live menu, upcoming events, photos, and the crowd's posts from last night.
Follow a brewery and hear it straight from them: new pours, tap takeovers, live music, last-keg warnings. No algorithm in between.
Send a buddy request, and once you're connected you can see each other live on the map. Find your crew in a town you've never been to.
People think this is a beer app. It's really a people app.
WhatsOnTap was founded by Scott Leavitt in Burlington, North Carolina, and built over more than two years. The idea came from something simple he kept noticing: the most important conversations of his life had happened over a pint, across a barstool, with friends.
After losing two brothers, those conversations became something more — a source of support, perspective and healing. Breweries, he realised, are more than places that serve beer. They're places where people connect.
So WhatsOnTap was built for that: helping people find a taproom worth driving to and someone to go with, and helping breweries reach the people who already drink their beer — without an algorithm deciding who gets to hear them.
Built for people who actually go out — not another review site you open once and forget.
Every taproom near you on one live map. Filter by type, see who's checked in, and get directions.
What's pouring now, upcoming events, photos and posts — each brewery's own page, kept current by them.
Connect, then see each other live on the map. Never drink alone in a new town again.
Follow a brewery and hear it first — new pours, takeovers, live music, last-keg warnings.
Log the taproom you're in, put yourself on the map for friends nearby, and climb the ranks.
Start a crew, post, drop stories, and chat. Group posts stay inside the group — members only.
Not just beer — the map covers all three, each with its own category and filters.
Every pour with its style, ABV, IBU, tasting notes and photo — kept current by the taproom itself.
Tap takeovers, live music, trivia nights — plus opening hours and happy-hour windows for every venue.
Log the taproom you're in, show up on the map for nearby friends, and build your visit history.
Send and accept buddy requests. Once connected, you see each other's live position on the map.
Start a crew or request to join one. Admins approve members, and group posts stay members-only.
Share photos and video from the taproom. Stories last 24 hours and show you exactly who watched.
Full threaded conversation on every post, and tag a buddy with @ so they actually see it.
One-to-one chat with photo sharing, mute, and block or report if you ever need it.
New releases, events, check-ins from people you follow, likes, comments, buddy requests — nothing else.
Find a specific taproom or track down someone you met last night, by name.
Thirteen tiers that show on your profile, earned by getting out and bringing people with you.
