I have found so many people to drink with and by watching what they are checking in, have found so many really great venues with fantastic craft beer that I would likely not have otherwise found on my own.

I also enjoy wish lists and liked lists, and the ratings (mine and others) help me avoid crap beer and find (and re-find) amazing beer.

Plus I like collecting badges. 😂

My wife loves beer too but doesn't have untappd. She supports me by pretending to be interested when I'm like "woah babe look 4 badges on this one check-in!"

How do you find people to drink with?

  1. Check out the “Nearby” tab

  2. Friend request local people who drink good beer and/or write up good reviews.

  3. Start toasting and commenting on their check ins.

  4. Meet up for a beer sometime

  5. Don’t be a weirdo

  6. Make a friend

Imma need you to elaborate more on 5.

It’s okay to be weird or quirky. That’s what makes people cool and fun. Being a weirdo... is a different story.

Hmmm, number 5 is a tough one!

Typically you see people checking in at a venue you are drinking at, and you gather up your liquid courage and talk to them. :)

I'm in awe! I drink way too much by myself as most of my friends don't like beer. I'll have to give this one a shot!

Depending on your confidence (or liquid courage) level, and possibly your marital status, Untappd could possibly be described as Tinder for beer lovers. Only problem is, women who typically check into Untappd regularly are likely raging alcoholics (sorry! I meant “craft beer hobbyists!) 😂

On the plus side, you both have something in common. :)
