My previous look at a beer inventory system focused on Bento. In this overview, I’ll explain my experiences while using Apple’s Numbers for the same purpose.
Using the Mac Numbers already stands out as the best general spreadsheet application on any platform. But this is not a Numbers review. How does it work as an inventory application?
Not surprisingly, it works like a spreadsheet. That’s not necessarily bad. The Numbers interface is nice.
Another reason I love home brewers. They love to tinker.
One of the things I love about the Micro- and Nano- breweries is that they have a tendency to be enthusiastically generous. Around Denver, breweries are known to share ingredients with “competitors” in need and many share what would seem to be precious recipes.
For example, Stone Brewing is sharing their recipe for their latest Vertical Epic with Anaheim Chiles and Cinnamon. It’s way better than it sounds. I don't know of many more industries that are that generous while also making innovative things.

Bento I started this project in Bento. A couple of years ago, I created a Bento database for cataloging beers I drank. The purpose was to know what to buy again, and what to avoid at all costs. Bento worked moderately well but had some frustrating rough edges.
Bento on the Mac has two different views into the data.
