County Derry developer unveils Pub Crawl Mode in fast‑growing Guinness rating app Stoutly
A County Derry developer has updated his fast‑growing Guinness‑rating app, Stoutly, with a new Pub Crawl Mode designed to help users map out the best St Patrick’s Day route using real‑time data and thousands of community‑submitted pint reviews.
Portstewart native, Scott, launched his app, Stoutly, on July 24, 2025. The app quickly gained traction, allowing users to rate their pints of Guinness from pubs they've visited worldwide, not just in Ireland and England.
Speaking about the new feature, Scott said: “Planning a pub crawl is no longer a guessing game. Stoutly, the app dedicated to finding the best pints of Guinness, has launched Pub Crawl Mode, a new feature that uses real‑time data to help users plan their night out.
“Unlike standard map apps that simply show nearby venues, Pub Crawl Mode uses Stoutly’s dataset, thousands of user‑generated ratings on pint quality and price, to create routes tailored to individual preferences.”
The app relies on community engagement, the developer said that every time a user rates a pint the system gets smarter.
"Stoutly isn't just guessing where you should go, it knows," said the Stoutly developer. "By aggregating data on the two things that matter most, how good the pint is and how much it costs, we can generate a curated list of pubs that guarantees a better experience than picking places at random."
Pub Crawl Mode is available now on the Stoutly app on iOS, Android and the Web App.
Stoutly was a passion project for Scott as he works a day job in marketing in London, Scott sometimes sought out the refreshment of pint but struggled to find a good pint of Guinness, leading him to start work on the app.
