Beer fans can enjoy tours of top-tier breweries, bars and pubs around the world by simply booking through an app. Beer Adventures offers 112 tours across 85 cities globally since launching in 2017, which has already resulted in more than 10,000 customers signed-up to the platform and over 1,050 tours being fulfilled. They have partnered with well-established beer producers such as Mikkeller and BrewDog and have also been featured in publications such as the i newspaper, EasyJet Traveller magazine and others in the UK and USA.
The company began as a B2C firm and is now taking steps to incorporate B2B services into their business model. Beer Adventures intends to use its platform as a means of advertising, primarily for leisure and hospitality businesses. Revenue will be generated from businesses that attract customers to their services via advertisements on the Beer Adventures app.
This investment strategy will allow Beer Adventures to expand their sales and marketing teams, which in turn can increase the number of tours available, as well as raise brand exposure and the size of the community. Future plans include expanding the variety of tours from beers to food, wine and city trails.

The World’s First Specialist Augmented Reality App StoreAugmented reality is all around us – from our mobiles to television adverts. By 2017 it is estimated that the AR market will be worth an astonishing £5.2 billion, so it makes absolute sense to have a specialist site to make it easier to buy them.Currently the AR apps are hidden in the millions of apps on the current congested platforms making it much harder to get them to market.With everyone from football clubs to newspapers and even global cosmetics brands promoting their products using augmented reality the market is wide open for expansion.The AR App Store is working on exclusive deals with leading app developers producing next generation apps in the following fields: education, modelling, militaria, architecture, football, technology, anatomy and food. Once the UK site has been tested and established it will be rolled out to Europe, the US and worldwide.Founder Karl Adams who has spent the last 18 months developing this project says “Augmented Reality is not just a concept it is a practical “virtual reality” that will become a way of the future and a reality right now. It allows the user to have apps on their tablets and smart phones enabling them to conduct pleasure and business interactions with products, in a new interactive and totally engaging way”.
