An update to Cascade Brewer's Nose means the iPhone app now offers information about more than 600 beers from Australia and other countries.

Despite providing information about even more beers, the updated Brewer's Nose iPhone app has been reduced in size sufficiently to allow it to be downloaded via 3G. The first version exceeded the Wi-Fi only threshold.



The free app incorporates barcode scanning, tasting notes, a beer log, Facebook integration, a Cascade stockist finder, and suggested pairings of food and beer.

The content was produced with the assistance of beer writer Matt Kirkegaard and chef Rodney Dunn.

"The Brewer's Nose is the first app of its kind, bringing together people of all palates, ages and stages in the beer community in an interactive and engaging environment," said a Cascade spokesperson.

"The feedback from consumers and brewers has been overwhelmingly positive with many brewers who weren't included in the first release wanting to make sure they weren't left out. We want the app to be a comprehensive resource for all beers fans so we are delighted to be able to include new beers in this update."

The Brewer's Nose is rated 17+ for 'Frequent/Intense Alcohol, Tobacco, Drug Use or References to these".
