The Catalog.beer Application Programming Interface (API) has been designed to make it easy for you to access information about Brewers and their beers and tasting rooms.
When it comes to using the API, anyone is welcome to use it; all you have to do is create an account and verify your email address. If you have questions about how to use the API, refer to our API Documentation or drop us a line.
Catalog.beer was created to enable anyone to access brewery and beer information. Whether you want to poke around, contribute to the database, or build an application, we want to make it easy to get started.
Every Catalog.beer account includes 1,000 API requests per month at no cost. This resets on the first of each month. For most hobbyists, students, and personal projects, this is more than enough to build something cool.
If you’re building something that requires more than 1,000 requests per month, we’d love to hear about it. Reach out to us via our contact form or email us at michael@catalog.beer and we’ll work something out. Our goal is to cover our operating costs while keeping the API accessible.

You must give appropriate credit to Catalog.beer, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
