Celebrating a Craft Beer Milestone: A Toast to Creativity
This past weekend marked a remarkable milestone in the world of craft beer. The popular recipe-sharing platform BeerSmithRecipes.com reached an impressive 2 million beer recipes. Launched in 2011, this site quickly became a go-to resource for brewers across the globe wanting to explore, share, and store their inventive brewing creations. Over time, the platform expanded its offerings, introducing mead, cider, and wine recipes in 2018, further cementing its status as a comprehensive resource for beverage enthusiasts.
By 2021, the site evolved into a full web version, allowing users to craft and refine their favorite creations from virtually any device, be it a tablet, phone, or desktop. Today, the site’s vibrant community has grown to include over 280,646 registered users. This diverse collective constantly fuels the creative spirit of brewing, resulting in one of the most extensive collections of beer, mead, cider, and wine recipes worldwide.
