Random Beer Picker

Standing at the tap list or the cooler with no idea what to get? Our random beer picker makes the call. Type in six beers, styles, or breweries, spin the barrel, and go with whatever it lands on. It’s free, it takes a few seconds, and it works on your phone.

How to use the beer picker

1. Type up to six beers into the boxes. You can use the styles already there as a starting point, or swap in your own favorites.
2. Press “Spin the barrel.”
3. Wait for the barrel to stop. The beer on the front is your pick.

Your list is saved on your own device, so your beer list will be ready next time.

Why let a barrel choose?

Menus with dozens of taps are fun until you’re the one holding up the line. A random pick takes the pressure off, and it nudges you toward something you might not have chosen yourself. If the barrel picks a style you’ve never tried, that’s part of the fun.

Ideas for your beer barrel

• Try something new. Fill the barrel with styles you haven’t had before, and spin for your next tasting.
• Brewery tour. Put six breweries on the barrel and let it choose where to stop next.
• Game night. Let each guest spin for the next beer to open.
• Who’s buying? Put six names on the barrel and let it pick who gets the next round.
• Home fridge draw. List what’s in the fridge and let the barrel pick tonight’s.

Tips for getting the most out of it

• Only add beers you’d be glad to drink. Then every result is a good one.
• Mix favorites with a wildcard. Add one or two beers you’ve been curious about.
• Use it for more than beer. The boxes take any text, so you can list breweries, cocktails, or soft drinks too.
• Drink responsibly. If you’re drinking, keep it moderate, never drive afterward, and skip it if you’re under the legal age.
