hopGram is a photo-sharing, messaging and event management app for social drinkers.

Subscribe to a group, and start sharing pictures, comments and updates via hopGram's unique beermat posts.

hopGram integrates with BeerBusGuide.com providing a simple way to add venues, organise pub crawls, and share updates & pub ratings.

How to send hopGrams

There are two main ways to do this: fastPost and hopGram:

fastPost is for quick, short replies and shout-outs to the group. fastPosts are appended to the current featured beermat. Choose either a predefined message, or type your own, choose an emotican optionally add and rate your location, and tap send. The hopGram is posted and sent to your active group.

Use hopGram to create a new hopGram and send it to the group. Select a beermat style from the built in selection, attach a photo and emotican, type your message, optionally add and rate your location, and tap send to post to your active group.
