So this looked really great and I'm sure it will be. I realize that there are a lot of barcodes, but I happened to see this thread while at Costco. I downloaded the app while here and it only recognized 2 beers from the entire beer isle.

Some were tricky but some were things that you definitely should have (like Sam Adams Winter). This will be really great when it's more complete but there is still some work to do

Yep, working on it. We get bar code data from BreweryDB, which allows us to improve bar code accuracy without an app update.

BreweryDB takes user submitted bar codes easily with PocketBeer (BreweryDB's app) http://www.pocketbeerapp.com/

Cool stuff. Really like the app.
