Who created PINtPOINT?

PINtPOINT is an independent craft beer discovery platform, built and maintained by a small UK-based team writing under the byline Sophie Ro. It is available on the App Store and as an Android sideload.

What does PINtPOINT do?

PINtPOINT helps people find better pubs, see what's on tap before they arrive, and discover venues worth visiting. It tracks 1,500+ venues across 46 countries with live tap list data, ABV, beer styles, and freshness scores.

Is PINtPOINT a beer rating app?

No. PINtPOINT is focused on discovery — finding the right venue and seeing what's on tap right now. It uses live tap data and radar navigation rather than user-submitted ratings or check-ins.

The History and Origin of PINtPOINT

PINtPOINT is a beer-first pub discovery app that helps you find pubs by live tap lists, beer style, and location. It runs on iPhone and Android, covers 1,500+ venues across 46 countries, and is built and operated by Sophie Ro under the PINtPOINT name.

A craft beer radar.
Built to answer one question: where should I go?

How it started

PINtPOINT began with a simple frustration: standing on a street corner, trying to decide between three pubs, with no way to know which one had anything decent on tap.

Generic map searches don't care about beer. Rating apps tell you what you already drank. Nothing answered the question that actually matters: where should I go right now?

It was built to answer that question with real data, live accuracy, and a radar interface that makes discovery feel more like an adventure than a spreadsheet.

How it grew

The app launched in early 2026 on iPhone via the App Store and on Android as a direct APK download from pintpoint.co.uk/download. It started as a UK-focused pub finder and grew into a global platform tracking thousands of beers across dozens of countries.

Whether you're hitting the taprooms of Brooklyn, scouting the bars of Barcelona, or looking for a real ale in Bristol, the radar provides the same live, high-fidelity data everywhere.
