365 beer challenge; Untappd

If you are reading this, you probably like beer. You probably like good beer.

You may know that I really got into drinking beer, when I was challenged to drink 365 different beers in a year. I am now challenging all of you who read this to do the same.

When I first started out with the 365 challenge, I carried around a little notebook that was numbered up to 365, that seemed very daunting when I was still writing down in the 200's.

But, dear reader, life is much easier for you than it was for me when I first started my journey.

Meet Untappd. If you sign up for Untappd, it will keep track of your beers, all you need is a smart phone, and to be sober enough to check in the beer that you are drinking when you are having it.

I signed up for it on Monday night, and have already added 6 beers to my list. It is a pretty neat program, it will show you the total amount of beers that you've had, and the amount of unique beers (as in one that you haven't claimed that you've drank before).

It is not an app for your cell phone, you'll have to go to the webpage for it using your phone to check in beers. Oddly, you can't check them in from the computer website, only from the mobile site.

It will tie in to your twitter/facebook/four square accounts, so you can broadcast to the world what you are drinking.

So, there it is, I challenge you to drink 365 different beers this year. Who's in?

Sign up for Untappd and add me as a friend.
