Beer O'Clock!

Wait for Beer OClock in style with the Beer OClock iPhone app!

Every minute of the hour presents you with a different craft beer featuring brewers such a Stone, Coronado, Southern Tier, Maui, Dieu du Ciel, Baird, Hitachino, Hakusekikan, Colonsay, Brewdog, Little Creatures, Epic, and more. Good beers. Theres no crap in this app.

Set the time for Beer OClock and the app will show you a countdown telling you how many beerless seconds you have before Beer OClock. When the time comes, the app will flash "Beer OClock!" and (optionally) notify you with the sound of a beer opening and vibrate. What better way could there be to wait for beer? What better use could there be for your iPhone than to help you work up a thirst? Technology was made for this.

Notes:

This app disables sleep when running - otherwise you wouldnt get to see all those lovely beers. Its recommended you keep your phone plugged in so that battery doesnt run down - though if youre in the habit of sending silly mails when you get a bit drunk, letting your battery run down might not be a bad thing. You also need to leave the app running for the alarm to work (this is an Apple limitation - you cant run background apps on the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad).

There are 60 different beers featured in this app - one for every minute - all beers that Ive had the pleasure of in 2009. I fully intend to spend proceeds from this app buying more beer to photograph though ultimately there are only 365 days in the year and aiming for a different beer every minute of the day might kill me. But, you know, there are worse ways to go. I also only have access to beer which is available in Japan or I grab when I travel. Of course, if theres a beer youd really like to see here, Im more than willing to receive beer in the mail :)

Hope you enjoy this app. Its just a bit of fun and hopefully some generic commercial beer drinkers will download it and become inspired to try craft beer! Comments of "Why isnt Bud Lite/Stella/XXXX featured in your app?" will be laughed at.
