What This Skill Does

The breweries skill is a specialized CLI utility designed to integrate seamlessly with OpenClaw agents, allowing them to interface with the Open Brewery DB. It serves as a bridge between natural language queries and structured brewery data. Whether you are looking for specific regional craft breweries or simply need to find a place to enjoy a pint, this skill handles the heavy lifting of API interaction. It requires no authentication, meaning your agent can query the database immediately upon installation without complex configuration or token management. The utility supports searching by name, location (city or state), and specific brewery classification, providing concise, actionable output including links to official websites.

Installation

To add this capability to your agent, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jeffaf/breweries Ensure that your environment supports standard command-line execution, as the skill functions via a wrapper script located in your skill folder.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for users who frequently need local recommendations or need to aggregate data about the craft beer industry. It is ideal for travel planning, social organizing, or even market research. If your agent is managing your schedule, it can quickly identify local breweries during a trip, provide addresses, and supply website links for further planning.

Example Prompts

1. "I'm heading to Denver for the weekend, can you find me some local craft breweries there?"
2. "Search for the Sierra Nevada brewery and see if they have any information available."
3. "I'm feeling adventurous, can you suggest three random breweries for me to check out?"

Tips & Limitations

When using the breweries skill, keep in mind that it returns a maximum of 10 results per query. Because it relies on the Open Brewery DB, data availability depends on community submissions to that database. The skill is strictly for breweries—it will not return results for standard bars, bottle shops, or wine retailers that do not brew on-site. When searching by state, you can use either the full state name or the standard two-letter abbreviation for better success. Use the 'type' filter if you are looking specifically for brewpubs or high-volume facilities, as this will help narrow down the output significantly from generic searches.
