Since most restaurants almost never list the available drinks on their online menus, you must seek another source if you want to read your drink menu without the aid of a sighted companion or OCR technology. In this article, I review two apps that I have found to be excellent sources for accessing craft beer menus, DigitalPour and Untappd. I tested these apps using an iPhone SE running iOS 12. To get the most from these apps, basic knowledge of VoiceOver navigation is suggested, with Untappd requiring more advanced knowledge for smooth navigation. DigitalPourĭigitalPour is the more straightforward app for locating beer menus. This allows them to automatically send notifications of beer changes across multiple social media services.Įach location that lists their offerings subscribes to the DigitalPour service. The system ties into the point-of-sale at the location, which allows the service to track and display the amount remaining in any keg currently on tap. Because this is a paid service, fewer locations use it. For example, there are 5 locations in less than a mile in Huntington, West Virginia, while I found zero within 60 miles in Orlando, Florida. When you first download and launch DigitalPour, it will request to use your location.
