Great review by Bruce Eaton of Brewster at Good and Evo.  ”If you’re a beer hunter, it can be hard to remember which beers you had and also whether it was even worth drinking. Brewster gives you the ability to log in which beer you drank, how many you had, and rate just how tasty you thought the beer was on a five-star scale.”    Thanks Bruce for a great review and welcome to the Brewster family.  Read the entire article here.

Statistics and metrics are important to Thex Interactive and when we noticed that Brewster was gaining traction in Denmark we were very excited.  We recently added support for Danish as one of the default languages for Brewster and we welcome our new members from across the sea.  Look for many new languages to be natively supported soon.

This week Thex was selected by Google Labs to participate in the pre-releases of the newest APIs being released by Google.   This is a big honor and we appreciate the faith that Google has put into location based targeted applications such as Brewster.  There are fewer than 1000 companies world wide trusted to take part in these programs.  Look for new new features that exploit our access to these unpublished Google APIs.  And of course, Thanks Google!

Well it seems there was a little mess up over at Motorola when they were creating their master image for the Droid 2.  I wont go into details but it made all Droid 2 devices look exactly the same to application developers.  We put in a fix that resolves this issue for Droid 2 users without effecting our existing community of users.  We welcome our new Droid 2 members and look forward to seeing all the new beers they will enter.

The latest release of Brewster was released tonight.  This is a big upgrade with a lot of new features.  For current members after your next login they will no longer have to log in again making it even faster to use Brewster.  New users will not be required to enter any user information to use the application.  There is a new extended details screen that shows a lot of cool information about the selected beer.  Also the map has been moved to the long press context menu and a number of small bug fixes were added.

We have had an overwhelming response from our international members and decided to get this update out a little early to fix issues with special characters around the world.  This update includes a lot of fixes to minor bugs and usability issues.  With that said here are the updates:
- New icon for friend rank
- International characters are all accepted now
- Slight update to the map
- Update to the edit beer screen, much easier now and more freedom allowed in the edits.
- Alcohol by Volume now only goes up to 45% (since the worlds highest is 41% at the moment)
- GPS should get a better location now, there was a pretty big glitch with this.
- Changed some text for the new users screens to help them get started.
Enjoy!

Its hard to image, but Brewster reached 17 countries in the first 24 hours.  We even have a new beer drinking friend from Argentina that posted on the official Brewster Facebook page.  So far the response has been overwhelming!  Thank you all for kind comments on the marketplace.  As an update we posted a very small update to fix a friend glitch on the HTC Hero.  You all should be working happily again.  Join the Facebook group for important updates at http://www.facebook.com/.

Cheers!
