			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I&#8217;m proud to announce the launch of the first iteration of my beer tasting web application, Beer Register.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.spoontwisted.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/beer_tasting.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-157" title="Beer Tasting" src="http://www.spoontwisted.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/beer_tasting.jpg" alt="Sunshine Wheat at The Flying Saucer in Austin, TX" width="240" height="180" /></a>I&#8217;ve been working on it for the last month or so, and it&#8217;s ready to go with some basic functionality. I will be working hard to add more functionality in the near future, including brewery information, pre-populated beer data, and social features that let you see what others rate beers, breweries, and even bars!</p>
<p>Visit <a title="Beer Register" href="http://www.beerregister.com/" target="_blank">http://www.beerregister.com/</a> and sign up to get started today!</p>
<p>I got the idea when a friend of mine, Tyler, showed me that he was using the notepad application on his Android-powered phone to keep track of beers he tasted. This was far simpler than using one of the existing beer applications or sites, which generally ask you a wide array of questions about the beer when you add it to your list.</p>
<p>After doing some research, I found he was correct. All of the mobile applications and beer tracking sites are designed primarily for use by beer connoisseurs. Not to say there isn&#8217;t a place for that, because these are valuable resources indeed, but something simpler would be nice.</p>
<p>I set out to create a site that was accessible on both computers and mobile devices that easily lets you track basic information about beers you taste, when you taste them.</p>
<p>In the future, I plan on releasing mobile applications as well, including an iPhone app and an Android app. Stay tuned for updates!</p>
