Do you ever use Untappd to only get information about beers and not check them in?
Yes
Sometimes
Never

... how is Yes different from Sometimes? (I'm not asking you, Aaron from the Wood)

My girlfriend works for a market research firm and this would piss her off as well.

I answered sometimes because I won't often go to Untappd first for info, but I will cross-reference other sites' info with Untappd's. I assume that's the sort of thing they're looking for with sometimes (but not yes).

Seems like they are deciding if they want to be a place for accurate beer info (which would require heavier moderation and limiting of excessive vintage/one-off beer creation) or more of a social/beer diary site.

Yeah, I answered assuming the intent was to ask "often" or "sometimes" too. Interesting questions, and I'm glad they're asking.

Hey, me too!

Wait what if you work for a competitor?

Looks like they added badges for 5000 and 10000 unique. Time to get back to serious ticking lol

Yeah I feel so emasculated right now. 10k? I'm less than a third of the way there!

Yeah I was hoping for a 5000, 10000 may require me to get on a transplant list for a liver

They should name the 10,000 badge, Cirrhosis

The wish list button should be easier to get too. Instead of going to the main beer page it should be close to the toast button perhaps.

Does the green label 3F Gueuze have its own listing?

No.

Some people have that aspiration, but making Untappd into something accurate would take something on the order of 100x as much work as we are currently capable of doing. It would be such a massive expansion that it's just NOT going to happen. I advocate living with inaccuracy as a fact of life, but for some reason people still see this platonic ideal of a database as attainable.

It looks like some people can't believe the beer is actually called Roller Blabe.

Done, and aliased so hopefully that'll stop.

Also ppl putting in their basements and entering "******* Catalina Wine Mixer" into foursquare and having those listed in there as places around to drink is dumb. It's not cute and you're not helping anyone.

As lame as it sounds I sometimes use untappd to see what bars and breweries have been pouring cause not everyone has their tap list online and instead I have to weed out dumb locations no one will ever go to aka your house or your pool just to find out what local options have available.

No.


Then how would we follow Gang Bang check-ins?

 

[stupac2]

No.

Also Untappd just uses Four Square's DB, and they clearly allow it.

I recently met and older gentleman out at Jester King that was hitting 7500 in his Untappd.

I still sitting at a little over 1000.

(My 1000th beer was Peche Mortel, btw).

 

[Michigan1]

I was wondering why 8 people just requested to be my friend on Untappd. Creepers be everywhere.

 

[Dicers]

Closing in on that 2500 unique. What to drink

Sweet! I'm at 2492. 2500 will happen Wednesday at steak night with a buddy,

I started using this app this year. Same username as on here. Add me (or don't)

I'm not much for checking in every beer I drink, but I try to always check in uniques

 

[FTowne1]

I've checked in a total of 1 beer since I've joined. I look at the app maybe once a month, if I remember.

Curious as to the rating system used on Untappd. I was trying to check the ratings on the two different batches of DDG (see my inquiry on the AWA thread) and batch 2 ranked way higher than batch 1. Looking at Batch 1, it has an average of 3.9, but I have only found one rating under 4 in the first maybe fifty or sixty of the reviews listed (of 100).

 

[drbenzo1]

Untappd changed their font on their webpage, not APP page... that's all from me...

It's bayesian, so beers with fewer ratings have a lower rating.
