HOW IT WORKS

Ranked by flavor — not by style label

Pick a beer

Search any beer you already like — Guinness, Punk IPA, Augustiner Helles — or a niche one only you know.

hopIQ scores the whole catalogue

Not just the same style. Every beer is profiled across 56 flavour tags, so a Belgian Dubbel can win over another stout if the character matches.

Ranked alternatives, with the why

You see the top matches sorted by flavour affinity, plus what makes each one similar — and where it diverges.

By style

IPA

723 beers

Bold, hoppy and unapologetic. From citrus-forward West Coast bitterness to soft, hazy New England juice — this is where hops take centre stage.

Lager

1,008 beers

Smooth, golden and endlessly drinkable. Clean, crisp and sessionable — the world's favourite for good reason.

Wheat Beer

308 beers

Soft, cloudy and refreshing. Banana, clove and a pillowy lightness made for warm afternoons.

Pale Ale

461 beers

The friendly middle ground — balanced malt and hops, easy to love and hard to tire of.

Stout

172 beers

Dark, roasted and warming. Coffee, chocolate and a slow, comforting finish that rewards a quiet evening.

Porter

98 beers

Rich and mellow, with notes of cocoa and toasted malt. Stout's smoother, more approachable cousin.

Belgian

138 beers

Spicy, fruity and full of character. Centuries of monastic craft and yeast-driven complexity in every glass.

Sour

95 beers

Tart, funky and alive. Bright acidity and wild character for the adventurous palate that likes a little pucker.

Amber

153 beers

Malty, toasty and caramel-rich. The cosy sweater of the beer world, all warmth and toasted comfort.

Dark

126 beers

Deep, malty and mysterious. Roasted richness and dark-fruit depth for when you want something with gravity.

Strong

80 beers

Big, warming and bold. High-octane flavour and depth — sipped slowly, savoured properly.

Farmhouse

55 beers

Rustic, dry and refreshingly earthy. Saison-style beers with a peppery, pastoral soul.

Fruit Beer

36 beers

Bright, juicy and playful. Real fruit character that's refreshing without ever being sweet-for-the-sake-of-it.
