Technology has reached into every part of

modern life, it seems, and the world of beer is

no exception.

Page 3: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

There are countless apps, sites, and online

communities surrounding the craft

beer scene.

Page 4: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

Some are great, practically essential to me – others, not

so much.

Page 5: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

There are three that are very popular, at least

here in the northeast – Untappd, Beer Advocate,

and Beer Menus.

Page 6: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

Each has a specific purpose, something

that sets it apart from the rest of the

herd.

Page 7: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

This is a quick rundown for the

initiated.

Untappd

Page 10: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

I use Untappd all the time.

Page 11: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

This app and website has a list of

every beer ever produced.

Page 12: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

You use the app to ‘check in’ beers that

you drink.

Page 13: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

You can rate them, take a picture, and write a description.

Page 14: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

It serves as a catalogue of the beers you’ve tried, what you thought of them, and beers you want to try.

Page 15: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

What’s more, you can become friends with

other beer enthusiasts and see what they’re

drinking.

Page 16: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

I often find myself commenting and

liking the check-ins of friends.

Page 17: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

The app is very, very well built, and

has a lot of functionality – too much to go into in

full.

Page 18: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

If you use no other technology for your beer hobby, make it

Untappd.

Page 19: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

Beer Advocate

Page 20: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

Beer Advocate is a magazine and

website devoted to beer.

Page 21: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

Where it really shines is it’s online community of beer

nerds.

Page 22: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

And these are beer nerds.

Page 23: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

People come here for a higher quality and more in-depth discussion about

beer.

Page 24: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

They have an advanced rating algorithm, with users expected to rate beers on a variety of

factors individually, adding up to an overall rating.

Page 25: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

The forums are very active, and full of great info and advice…as well

as some of the negativity so often found on the

internet.

Page 26: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

I use Beer Advocate as a casual resource when I want

to know more about a beer or see what the real beer nerds are talking about, but I don’t get too involved in the forum.

Page 27: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

Beer Menus

Page 28: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

This website is very simply about

delivering listings of what beers are

being sold where.

Page 29: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

Users can edit beer lists, or owners of bars & beer stores can update their

own lists.

Page 30: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

There is check-in functionality, but

the site is relatively shoddy.

Page 31: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

Here in Long Island, however, most establishments

maintain accounts.

Page 32: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

The best feature of the site is being

able to search for a specific beer in the

area.

Page 33: Untappd, Beer Advocate, and Beer Menus

I hope that one day this feature will be

available on Untappd – one less

login to worry about.
