We're big fans of craft brewing. But it seems every bar has turned into a brewpub overnight?stocking shelves with tracks of obscure labels that can be difficult to navigate. The free app BeerCloud provides a directory of nearby breweries and retailers, arms users with tasting descriptions and brand history, and even suggests food pairings. It's never been easier to become a can-oisseur.
Breathometer
Had a few craft beers? Reach for the Breathometer ($50), the first smartphone-enabled breathalyzer, and test your blood alcohol level using only your phone and the portable device. Plug the box into your headphone jack, exhale into the vents on the gadget, then make smart decisions based on the data. The app interface is simple enough that even someone with a righteous buzz can figure it out.
Pizza Compass
Boy, are we glad you decided to take a cab, ride with a designated driver, or walk. Now you need some carbs. Dan Blackman inspired, he says, "by a night of drinking when I couldn't find a pizza place," aims to solve that problem with Pizza Compass ($1), an iPhone and Android app that points you toward the nearest pizza place and lets you know when it's open. The app relies on Foursquare's API and smartphone-supplied location data. The result is a spinning slice (and an accompanying Google Map, covered in mini slices) that points you toward cheesy satisfaction.
