Thank you for Taphouse! It's the most feature rich option available now and definitely worth paying for to have all the features. I was a big fan of BrewerX until the app stopped working for me and the developer couldn't be bothered to help me figure out the problem. Taphouse is the most capable of them all, and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all at this point.

I wanted to take a moment to send you a quick email to say thank you for creating such an awesome piece of software! I've seen my share of Homebrew GUI apps for macOS over the past few years. None of them comes close to being as useful as Taphouse.

Like Flatpak, but for Mac

If you've used Flatpak or GNOME Software on Linux, you'll feel right at home. Taphouse brings that same visual package management experience to macOS.
