Problem & Solution
Beer enthusiasts often struggle to identify their taste preferences or explore new flavors, resulting in limited discovery of new beers.
BrewGenius allows users to input their taste preferences via a custom survey and generates a unique TasteTag. Based on this tag, users receive beer recommendations tailored to their profile, enhancing their tasting journey.

Challenges
One key challenge was designing a survey that was both intuitive and detailed enough to generate meaningful results. Balancing simplicity for users unfamiliar with beer terminology and creating valuable recommendations required a fine-tuned design. Another hurdle was integrating the database and developing real-time functionality for generating recommendations based on changing user inputs.
