About Freshie
A craft beer companion built drinker-first. Scanning date codes since 2025.
What Freshie does
Freshie helps you drink fresher, better craft beer. Three core tools: a freshness scanner that decodes date codes on cans and bottles, an AI shelfie analyzer that recommends beers from a photo of any shelf, and a comprehensive directory of breweries, hops, malts, beer styles, and craft beer cities worldwide.
Why freshness matters
Hop-forward beers — IPAs, pale ales, hazies — lose their best flavor compounds within weeks. A 90-day-old IPA is a different beer from a 14-day-old one. Stouts, sours, and barrel-aged beers age differently. Freshie tells you which is which.
Who built this
Freshie is a project by Veryation, a sole proprietorship based on the San Francisco Peninsula. Built using static HTML and Cloudflare Workers — no tracking SDKs, no account requirements, no email collection beyond an optional waitlist.
What's next
More cities, more brewery profiles, deeper hop tech coverage, and ongoing improvements to the scanning models. Have a brewery you want covered? A hop variety we're missing? Reach out.
