Hey there!

I built HopSpin, a free iPhone app for discovering Chicago-area breweries, along with their events, specials, beverages, and releases - and I’d genuinely value feedback from our community.

The goal is simple: make it easier to see what’s happening near your location, or across the city, when you are deciding where to grab a beer or planning an outing. Not just tonight or this week, but as far ahead as breweries have set their schedules.

I’ve also been lucky to have a few early brewery partners share their artwork with me, which I’ve had a blast turning into interactive HopSpin 3D models to explore in the app.

If you'd like to put HopSpin to use, you can download it from Apple's App Store:

Know that I’m building HopSpin independently and would appreciate your ideas, to help me plan its roadmap:

• What information would make an event or special listing more useful?
• What would help you choose HopSpin over your usual event- or special-discovery sources?
• What features outside of events or specials would you like to see added: check-in leaderboard? suggested walks or crawls? personal cellar tracker?

I’m starting with Chicago-area breweries and expanding HopSpin's coverage from there. I’ve also added a few out-of-state brewery friends and partners for anyone planning a trip.

Thanks for taking a look!

Hey there,

I'd like some help/suggestions on how to sell my late father's 1989 BMW K1. I've kept it covered in my garage for about 9 years, it was always in his garage before that. The man loved his BMW motorcycles; it was his fourth. Some quick facts, for context:

• It was imported from Germany in 1989 on Lufthansa Flight LH4254 and was released by US Customs on July 20, 1989 (I've got excellent documentation about it)
• It has 11,011 kilometers on it (6,841 miles)
• It hasn't been ridden since the early 2010's
• It is in terrific condition

What would be the appropriate steps I would take to sell it? I've never sold a vehicle before. Ideas:

• Take it to an authorized BMW Motorcycle dealership and have it inspected for sale?
• Have a certified BMW Motorcycle mechanic come over and see how it runs?
• Other?

And once it is verifiably in great condition, where do I look to sell it? Ideas:

• Bring a Trailer?
• eBay?
• Post on BMW forums?
• Other?

Any help in understanding how to go about this would be very appreciated. Thanks a ton and have a great day!
