App-etite: Beer ratings guide

Nirvino, the same folks who brought you the handy-dandy wine ratings guide, is hopping up their game with a guide to beer. If the hefty beer lists at The Chimes or The Bulldog have you stumped, and you’re too shy to ask the bartender for help, this pocket brew bible will keep you choosing cold ones that are just to your taste. You can search by name, price, style, food pairing, flavor profile, region and producer, among other options. You can even keep track of your favorite finds with a simple, built-in list maker, and rate the beers you’ve tried for easy reference later. Increase your knowledge with just a few taps of your fingers. $2.99 in the iTunes store.
