Technology and beer can go hand-in-hand, as some of the cool beer apps for iPhone demonstrate. Even conscientious objectors of iPhones can admire the novelty of these apps. Here are a few of our favorites.
Beer Battery – $0.99
Beer Battery offers a clever way of incorporating your love for beer while monitoring the battery charge in your iPhone or iPod touch. As your battery life depletes, so does the brew in the glass. Just like other battery apps, you can easily see how much talk time, etc. you have left. You even have lifelike bubbles floating in your glass.
iBeer Pro - $3.99
iBeers Pro lists more than 2,700 varieties of beer. Each beer lists the country of origin, brewer, type of beer and bottle size, as well as user ratings and an ability to add it to your favorites list. This is a great app for those who enjoy trying new beers, especially from unknown breweries. This app also comes in a Lite version for $1.99 and the regular iBeers version for $2.99.
BeerCloud – Free
By GreatBrewers.com, “BeerCloud is a revolutionary mobile app that helps you pair beer with food, track down your favorite beers in your neighborhood, discover the world of beer styles, and pull up a full description of nearly any beer in seconds. Whether you’re a beer consumer who could use some guidance in making a well-educated purchase, a food lover looking to discover new ways to enhance a meal with a complementary beer pairing, or a traveling beer enthusiast who wants to instantly map the closest stores, bars, and restaurants carrying your favorite beers, BeerCloud is an essential iPhone app.”
iBeer – $0.99
iBeer is one of the first beer apps that has gained popularity. The latest version touts celebrity voices. After starting iBeer you’re given a choice of several different beers and other liquids with which to fill your glass. After choosing your favorite drink, the iPhone itself is turned into a representation of a mug of that drink. When you tilt the phone to the side, some beer will be removed, as though you are drinking it right from your phone. Not overly useful, but definitely fun. And if you would like something to eat while drinking your iBeer, try iMunchies.
These are only a few of the cool beer apps available. Let us know if you find any that you would recommend!

Droiders fear not, the iDudes are not the only beer drinkers around these parts. We too, have our share of beer apps. Including:
Beer – Let’s you keep track of your favorite beers along with tasting notes. When your database gets big, you can jump to the notes on a particular beer by scanning its barcode. You can also store a picture of the bottle that you can stare at with longing when the fridge is empty. (I can recommend this app because I use it.)
My Beer Droid – Helps you to keep track of the beers (and drinks and food) you have ordered in a pub/restaurant. It can deal with multiple currencies and calculate Tax and Tip. This app can be very handy for determining when it is time to get your friends to buy the next round
Beer Trivia – 100 questions to test your beer knowledge.
Beer Mapper – FInds the brewpubs, breweries, beer bars, beer stores and homebrew stores near you current location or a location you are headed to.

iBeer…
