Beer Is A Social Drink In More Ways Than One

The app that has been getting the most action on my besmudged smart phone of late has got to be Untappd. If you find yourself seeking out varieties of beer that extend beyond the Bud/Miller/crappy Lites out there, this is a must have. Not only does it provide you with a means of tracking your consumption (there is an inverse relationship between beers downed and the ability to recall their names, after all), but it also provides recommendations of beers similar to the one you are cataloguing.

As is the norm with just about any social app out there, you can find friends with whom to share your discoveries and adventures. Know of someone with impeccable taste in beer? Friend them through the app and you will be able to track the beers they rate highly and, possibly more importantly, will be able to see where they were able to procure said libation.

And you are now free to reallocate a few more brain cells from memory functions to ritualistic alcoholic sacrifice. You’re welcome.
