What’s on tap in your city?

Three Ways to List What’s On Tap

TapLister offers three ways to let others know what’s on tap at your favorite local watering hole, what you’re drinking right now, and what taps have just run dry.

BeerSignal

BeerSignal is an iPhone™ app that helps you bring your friends together to enjoy some good beer at your favorite establishments around town.

Overview of Taplister.com and the Beer Signal iPhone app by Lief Iverson of Digital Trends:

Through the TapLister Site

To search for a beer on tap right now browse our Bars and Beers tabs on the navigation bar above, or use the Live Beer Search in the upper right hand corner just above the navigation bar.

You can help us help you by sharing the location of a great brew. List new beers that go on tap with Taplister.com to create the ultimate database of live beers. It’s easy, all you need is your Twitter login information. Then follow these two steps.

1: Tweet a Beer
Just click on the tab labled Tweet a Beer on the navigation bar above and log into your Twitter account.

2: Type the Beer and the Bar
To list a beer that you’re sure is on tap at a specific bar, just type the beer name in the left text field, and then the bar name in the right text field.

Tweeting from the Web or Another Client

You can list a beer on tap using Twitter’s web app or any Twitter client.

Capitalize the Beer and Bar names.
Place an “at” before the name of the bar.
Don’t forget the #ontap— hashtag, depending on what city you’re in.

In Portland, on tap: Widmer Drifter Pale Ale at Widmer Gasthaus #ontappdx
Example for Portland, off tap: Widmer Drifter Pale Ale off at Widmer Gasthaus #ontappdx

Here is a list of supported cities and their corresponding #hashtags:

Note: Make sure you use your city’s corresponding #hashtag and the database will stay accurate. As cities are added they will appear in the city drop down on the Home page.

If you’re an Ambassador of Beer, would like to be one, or are the owner or staff member of a bar we are giving special privileges to you. Please view the Contact Us page (link at bottom right as well) and we will confirm your Twitter account so you can start editing taps and bar pages with happy hours, hours of operation, number of taps, etc.

Thanks to gracious Tweeters, Bar Owners, and Taplister Ambassadors we’ve just created the most comprehensive, user fueled, live draft list in the country!
