WordPress and beer – what could be better? If you’re a serious beer lover and you use WordPress, you’ll want to check out the new Brewery DB plugin. It allows you to display information in your posts about beers and breweries via the use of shortcodes.
This plugin utilizes the Brewery DB API to retrieve data about beers and breweries from around the world, though it’s still a little buggy. The API is currently in private beta, but if you’re interested you can register for a key.

Wow. This could seriously improve my WordPress-powered beer site, pourn.me. (Don’t worry. Despite the name, it’s safe) I need a BuddyPress conversion now.
Thank you!
Eric – Nice looking site! :) The API is still pretty buggy but hopefully this will become a valuable resource in the coming months.
