Nobody talks about Untappd more than I do. I love it. But sometimes… it tires me the hell out.
I just want to drink my damn beer and not worry about taking a perfect flipping picture and putting it on Instagram or checking it in on Untappd.
It can be exhausting. Especially when you’re drunk.
But. But but but BUT, I often DO like posting on Untappd.
I like checking-in Uniques. Writing a little review in hopes it helps someone or the brewer. Or reminds me in the future to get this beer again. Or don’t get it.
I like following other people, seeing what everyone is drinking. I love that ChewYourBeer likes to boast about being the first to drink a beer in his community:
People using Untappd in a creative way is the best. It’s pure.
Unlike Instagram, there is no game behind posting. You’re not using hashtags or whatever, to try and gain followers or ‘game’ some algorithm.
You post for you and your beer friends.
So yeah, I get too tired to use the app sometimes and miss posting a new beer. But I always sober-up and comeback. It’s my favorite beer community.
