I like a pint of Guinness. A lot, as it goes. So, not surprisingly, I very much like the sound of an iPhone app that helps me find pubs that serve Guinness draught.
That ‘s just what the new Guinness Pub Finder app does “ plus a few more neat Guinness-related things “ but I cannot use the pub-finding feature of it because it is not legal in the state of Texas. Oh, Texas “ bad call.
The app provides a nice set of features for the Guinness-loving iPhone owners out there. Here are some of them, per its App Store page:
- ‘Locate a Pint ‘: GPS locator with pub data plus exclusive ‘one-touch ‘ email invitation capability.
- ‘Know your Pint ‘: ‘6 steps to Pouring the Perfect Pint of Guinness ‘ and official ‘Pint Head Ruler ‘
- DRINKIQ: Useful alcohol FAQs
That second feature should be essential reading for all bartenders who serve up Guinness. It ‘s also got some animated screen savers and a countdown clock to the upcoming ‘Arthur ‘s Day ‘ 250th Anniversary of Guinness celebrations (on September 24th).
The app sounds well done “ but I ‘m not going to purchase it knowing that one of the key features “ the pub finder “ will not function in my state. Texas is not the only state where the pub finding ability is illegal either:
If you ‘re fortunate enough to live in a state not mentioned in that list, and you ‘re a fan of Guinness, you ‘ll want to check out the Guinness Pub Finder in the App Store, where it ‘s priced at $1.99.
