We're proud to announce a brand new BeerMenus feature, made just for you, the beer lover: Beer Recommendations!
Now each menu on BeerMenus mobile web, iPhone app, and Android app will lead off with an all new "Recommendations" section!
We're still working out a few kinks (hence the BETA tag) but we were just too damn excited to wait any longer. We needed to let Recommendations loose on the world ASAP!
We'll get into the algorithm-y weeds below (grab some popcorn!) but here's the bare bones story on how Recommendations work: Beers land in the "Recommendations" section based on how well they score in 5 categories:
• Is the beer local?
• Is the beer rare?
• Is the beer sought-after?
• Is the beer new to the menu?
• Is it rated well?
As you can see, we also included Recommendations by Beer Style in this launch. We love this tool. It comes in handy if, for example, you want a hoppy beer but you don't know where to start because a place has a ton of IPAs, double IPAs, etc. Simply navigate to "Recommended Hoppy Beers" and order!
As always, if you have any questions/concerns/feedback let us know.
Once you give Recommendations a shot, show us some love by Tweeting about them or sharing this blog post on Facebook !
