Goodbye to the Beersmith 2 cloud: What follows for digital brewers?

by David Martín Rius

A change in the rules of the game for homemade beer fans

Since March 1, 2023, the users of Beersmith version 2 gradually say goodbye to the direct access to the cloud that popularized the platform. The reason? A commitment to the safety and technological update that leaves in the past old protocols, and that today do not meet the most robust standards required by modern digital threats.

What happens if you still want to continue doing your beer magic?

The good: you can continue using Beersmith 2 in independent mode, keeping your recipes on your own hard drive. However, that experience will be limited to your team, since you can no longer store or share recipes in the cloud or access them from the web platform after the deadline. The recommendation is that you do not stay behind: Update Beersmith 3 or copy your data in the local recipe folder before the timely time comes.

Options for brewers who want to continue beating their own digital foam

The good news? Here are several alternatives with special discounts to make the leap to the most modern. If you already have a Beersmith 2 key, you just have to enter it in the activation section to take advantage of the prices reduced in the purchase of Beersmith 3 and the web version, which works in any browser, even on your tablet or telephone. The most complete licensing, such as the Gold and Superior version, include full access to Beersmith Web at no additional cost, facilitating creation and editing from any device connected to the Internet.

And what about those who prefer to buy instead of subscribing?

Payment options vary: from unique licenses without automatic renovations, with rates known beforehand, to plans of one, two or even three years, ideal for those who want to maintain control without tied to recurring payments. The idea is to offer maximum flexibility for each user to choose what best fits their rhythm and needs.

Why leave behind the Beersmith 2 platform in the cloud?

The original launch in 2011 was a great innovation, although with certain limitations in terms of security. Today, digitalization and growing cyber attacks make these vulnerabilities a risk that cannot be ignored. The decision to close access to the cloud was taken to shield the entire community of brewers, ensuring that your recipes and vital data are protected with more solid protocols. Migration to the new generation of systems is, in short, a necessary step to stay at the forefront in security.

Why make the leap to the avant -garde beer?

The opportunity to update Beersmith 3 with a special price is only in force until the end of February, so there is not much time to think about it. Take advantage of the discount, which combines desk and web versions, and enjoy a more fluid, safe and versatile experience. In addition, if you use payment methods such as Venmo, Square or Google Pay, the purchase will be even simpler and quick. It is the perfect time to modernize your digital beer workshop.

At the end of the day, this change reflects the inevitable evolution towards safer, efficient and accessible systems. Continue innovating, adapt to new technological scenarios and maintain security in the center of the scene, will allow amateur brewers to continue enjoying their passion without worries, with the peace of mind that their recipes are protected in a reliable environment.
