       Show HN: PHP API Bindings for Open Brewery DB
        
       Howdy! I'm a recent PHP convert after a decade of laughing at PHP
       memes on r/programmerhumor, and wanted to dive a bit deeper into
       the language by building something practical with it. I also love
       beer and decided to combine the two by building a PHP library for
       the Open Brewery DB API (https://openbrewerydb.org/). Hope someone
       finds it useful!

       | Is there an open database of beers/ratings similar to Untappd?
       | Bar/brewery owners I know hate Untappd because of the exorbitant
