Cork’d for beer? Not quite.
November 9th, 2007
Having been a huge fan of wine mega-site Cork’d for some time, I’ve always hoped and prayed for — and on several occasions considered making — an equivalent service for the beer lovers among us.
So imagine my excitement when Dan Cederholm, one of the original creators of Cork’d and web designer supreme, announced his new beer-themed service today: Foamee.
And imagine my disappointment when the service turns out to be not equivalent to Cork’d on any front, but just a Twitter log of who owes who a beer on the Internet. I got out of bed for this?

Do you know if any other such a thing exists?

James,
There are a few sites out there that are trying to fill the same niche for beer that Cork’d is for wine, but they really don’t do it justice. Coastr and Beer Advocate come to mind. Coastr is more like del.icio.us for beer and Beer Advocate while full of reviews lacks the social features and the eye-candy interface of Cork’d.
