Craft Club is an NYC community for meeting people over beer, plus the app that ties it together. We run Rounds, a weekly tasting at small tables, and a free monthly meetup at a different brewery each month. The app carries the thread between nights out: every beer you Tap In becomes part of your collection, tied to where you had it and when, and builds a taste profile that makes your recommendations smarter over time.
Craft Club is about experience more than scores. Thoughtful notes, personal taste, and the people you drank with matter more here than chasing a perfect rating. The "best" beer is subjective, and that's the point.
Craft Club connects to real tables. There's a Round every Tuesday and a meetup every month, and the app is built to make both better: your Taps build your Flavor DNA, your Flavor DNA powers menu scanning and recommendations, and the community is full of people you can actually meet.
Rounds is our weekly beer tasting: a table of up to six at an NYC beer spot, every Tuesday. Everyone at the table booked a seat to meet new people. You order any half pour at the bar when you arrive, the table picks two more together, and the beer gets the conversation going. Come with a friend or on your own.
A Round is $15 a seat, plus three half pours at the bar (usually $15 to $25). Seats are bookable at craftclub.xyz/rounds.
Yes. Every Tuesday is a new table, and seats are first come, first served. Book whichever Tuesdays work for you.
Your seat is fully refundable up to 48 hours before your Round. Reply to your confirmation email and we'll take care of it. Inside 48 hours the seat is yours, because by then we're setting the tables.
You can book on the website and just show up. The app is where your table is revealed the day before and where the table picks its pours, so it makes the evening better. The link in your confirmation email opens your seat in the app and connects it to your account. More Rounds questions are answered at craftclub.xyz/rounds.
Once a month we take over a different NYC brewery. Show up, say hi, try something new. Every taste level is welcome and most people come solo. The next one is always on the homepage.
The meetup is free. You buy your own beers at the brewery.
You can Tap In any beer you've had at a taproom, a bar, while traveling, or at home. Each Tap creates a digital record of that beer in your collection, capturing the time, place, and moment you enjoyed it.
Yes. Add tasting notes, a caption, or a photo - whatever helps you remember the moment and however you want to share it with others. Or keep it simple. Your collection, your rules. You can also give a quick thumbs up or down to mark whether you'd have the beer again. It's your personal read, kept on your profile for you.
That beer becomes part of your profile - your personal archive. You can revisit it, share it, and see how your taste evolves over time. As you Tap In more beers, your Flavor DNA sharpens and your recommendations improve.
Flavor DNA is a living map of what you love. It shows your top styles, how they shift over time, and the flavor patterns behind them - and it powers your recommendations across the app.
The Tapline is Craft Club's main feed, highlighting recent Taps, thoughtful notes, and standout beers from the community.
Kudos are a quality signal. They're a way to recognize tasting notes, picks, or insights that are genuinely helpful or interesting. Think: "this was worth reading."
Likes are a casual acknowledgement, more of a friendly cheers. Kudos are more intentional and carry visible weight across the app.
Yes, you can follow friends or people whose taste you trust. By default, the Tapline shows public posts from the community. Over time, your feed gets better as you follow more intentionally.
Lists are a way to collect and organize beers or places you care about: favorites, must-tries, or personal themes. You can keep them for your own reference or share them to help others discover great beers and experiences. You can give kudos to Lists you find valuable and save your favorites to revisit later.
The app and the monthly meetup are free. A Round is $15 a seat, plus whatever you drink at the venue.

Yes, we're building Craft Club alongside the community, and things will continue to evolve. If you want to help shape what comes next, the Craft Club subreddit is the main forum where that conversation happens - and the monthly meetup is where a lot of it happens in person.
People who want good beer with good company. Curious drinkers, regulars, travelers, people new to the city, and anyone who thinks a good conversation is better with a beer in hand. Our goal is to make great beer more approachable and to bring the community around it together.
Not at all. Whether you already know what you like or you're still figuring it out, you're in the right place. Curiosity is the only prerequisite.
Yes. Craft Club is intentionally focused on beer - and we think that focus is what makes it special and most valuable for the community.
