GrillnBrew Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Anyone else use the Untappd beer tracking app? Based on the fair number of comments and photos, there seems to be quite a few fans of craft beer on this board. Untappd lets you search menus of local watering holes, rate your beers, and review the ratings others given for the same beer. It will also give you details on the beer style and information about the brewery. If anyone else is on and wants to connect, my name of the app is "Catfishbrewer".

tony b Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Sorry, not a fan. I don't FB, Tweet, Instagram, Tic-Toc, etc. either. This forum and a couple of others are as much "social media" as I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 I lived in Utah 30 years ago, before the craft beer thing took off and before there was any real internet. Both beer and social...anything were somewhat lacking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 I remember my first "craft" beer (they weren't called that back then) - it was an Anchor Steam on tap at a bar in San Jose, CA back in '78. I was hooked from the get go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrillnBrew Posted April 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 I believe mine was the same, 5 or 6 years later. My brother had been to SF and told me about the great beer he had, then we saw it a few days later in a specialty store, so we bought six. First few swallows I thought it was bitter and rough, 3 bottles later I knew I was hooked. Then I later found Pete's Wicked, and few years later Sam Adams. We just called them microbrews back then, but I guess you really can't call Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Stone etc. microbrews anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, especially since Sam Adams is the 4th largest brewer by volume in the US. Add Lagunitas to that list too. There 2nd brewery in Chicago is MASSIVE. Sierra Nevada has a lovely 2nd location in Asheville, NC. I've been to several of the Stone breweries - I like the one in Napa Valley. Maybe one day I'll get to the one in Berlin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troble Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) Anchor steam was first, never really cared for it, always thought it tasted like barnacles. Started drinking Sierra Nevada and Sam Adam’s in college, I’d bring my own 6 pack to parties cause I didn’t like cheap keg beer. Stumbled upon Arrogant Bastard in 1998 when I was 19 years old and began my love affair with local San Diego beers Edited April 22, 2021 by Troble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Discovered AB at my 1st (and so far, only) GABF back in the early 90s. I still have the AB t-shirt that I bought there (doesn't fit anymore - LOL!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingman505 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Marble Brewery started here and went national. It’s like being called up to the majors. I’m from Boston, so I have a special place for Sam Adams. I quit 4 years ago, so I’m out of the loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
