Chasing Amy - A new beer app you say? Ok.

The boys at work were talking about a beer app they were using called Untappd. Basically its a social app that lets you track your beer as you drink it. You 'check in' each time you have a beer and it keeps track of how many beers, and how many distinct beers you've drunk.  You can use the location services feature on your phone say where you're drinking as well. You can take a picture of your brew as proof that you really did have it.

Of course you can win badges, for example if you check in at the same bar on the same night as another friend, you both get the night out badge. On Sunday I got the St. Paddy's Day badge, and if the "irish" bar I went to actually had more than 3 irish beers on tap I would have gotten the "Luck of the Irish" badge as well. Oh well.

The only thing that annoys me is that I've been drinking for many years...now I have to 'catch up' to a bunch of 20 something coworkers in the eyes of some app that couldn't even possibly been concieved of when I had my first beer.

Anyway....download it and add me! Luke C / pourter at  https://untappd.com/
