iphone searches out a Guinness

When you want to down a Guinness a new iPhone app can now point you in the right direction. The app was created to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Guinness on September 24th.

Unfortunately for many the app is forbidden by law to work in the following states, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas or West Virginia.

For those fortunate enough to be able to access the app, it doesn’t only help you find a drink but provides additional utility as follows:

• Locate a Pint – uses GPS to locate the consumer and the pubs serving Guinness nearest to their current location. It then provides name, address and telephone number of the pub chosen, access to directions, and an email setup to invite friends to join.

• Know Your Pint – provides a tutorial on the 6 Steps to Creating the Perfect Pint, and also includes a ruler that can be used to measure your pint’s head.

• Fun Extras – includes animated screensavers, a countdown clock to the “Arthur’s Day” celebrations and a live feed of the latest news regarding the Guinness 250th Anniversary celebration

• Responsible Drinking – Provides consumers with the DRINKiQ resource which shares important facts about alcohol to aid responsible choices.

The app is US$1.99 in the iTunes store and its available now.
