Here’s a ‘novelty’ type app that I have to admit I like very much – the new Beer O’Clock app for the iPhone:

It’s always 5 O’Clock somewhere, right? Everyone says so, but now you can actually back it up. Beer O’Clock shows you a countdown to 5pm in your local timezone as well as a world map with an indicator of where in the world the 5pm drinking session is just getting underway. One click away is a list of countries in the timezone currently celebrating 5pm. So count the minutes until the start of your local happy hour or call it quits early and have a beer at lunch, like they’re doing right now 1/4 world away.

I know we’ve talked a lot about wanting more useful apps in the App Store, and wanting it to be easier to find those within the store – but I can’t help but like this app, for the following reasons:

  • I like beer (a lot)
  • I love the saying Beer O’Clock
  • I love the frosty mug graphic on the clock’s face

Beer O’Clock is in the app store now, at $0.99. Cheers :)

I wonder how long it’s gonna be before we see a 4.20 app… Don’t know if Apple would let this one in the App Store though ;)
