Oats and wheat for a soft body, dry-hopped twice with Citra and Mosaic. Smells like mango and orange peel, finishes dry.

Your note: softer than Grist Mill. Would get it again with the arepas.

Beer detail, with what's in it, pour prices and a private "I tried this" check-off.

Today's food truck, its menu and hours, and who's parked here the rest of the week.

What it does

  • Shows the live tap list the bar staff already keep, with new beers and kicked kegs marked.
  • Lets regulars check off beers they've tried and leave themselves a short note. The list is private, with no counts or badges.
  • Takes RSVPs for trivia, music and releases so the taproom can plan staff.
  • Carries the mug club card, with member number, perks and renewal date.

Built to stay small

Five screens around the things regulars check every week. Tabs, payments and mug club billing stay in the taproom's existing POS; the app only shows the card and the renewal date.

Staff update taps, events and the truck schedule from one simple admin page. It would ship to iOS and Android.
