What is Cratemates?

Cratemates coordinates bulk beer orders with mates, minus the spreadsheet hell. One group of friends, ordering together from UK breweries, with the chat still on WhatsApp.

• End scroll-back archaeology — one shared order sheet instead of buried chat messages.
• End “whose turn is it?” — a visible rota; anyone can volunteer.
• Keep brewery ideas — a votable backlog with Untappd lookup and attribution.
• Skip manual maths — webshop-ready aggregation, delivery splitting, penny-exact totals.
• No awkward chasing — transparent settlement; the app nudges, not your mate.

How it works: pick a brewery → share to WhatsApp → everyone adds beers → lock, order, settle, passport stamp.

Free for friends. No alcohol sales, no money handling, no ads.
