BeerAdvocate has mailed its last magazine. Its final issue, Issue 134, will be released as a PDF in April. I am a founding subscriber and always liked the magazine. It did a good job promoting the craft beer industry and never shied away from tough issues. BeerAdvocate is not going away and plans to focus its resources on its website, its festivals, and a new app. In looking at BeerAdvocate's website, I don't see much current news, just articles from the past issues, so I guess Good Beer Hunting is now my place for general industry news, while West Coaster and a few local reporters (Brandon Hernandez, Beth Demmon and Peter Rowe) remain my source for local beer news.
I am not sold on the beer app concept. I have the TapHunter and the San Diego Brewers Guild apps, which I never open, and I deleted Untapped years ago. I am open to suggestions or pointers on how I can use these apps to make beer drinking better, easier, or more fun. I hope the Alstrom brothers have an idea for a relevant beer app
Thanks BeerAdvocate magazine for twelve years of quality beer news.
