I think it's pretty wide, I got a few emails from Stone about it that looked like national-leaning emails. Sent out in boxed 6-packs

 

I picked up a can at Holiday Market, it definitely hit MI

 

Ahh thanks fellas. I don’t pay nearly enough attention to the market these days for a guy who sells beer

 

So if I like OG I should just bite the bullet and get the six pack? Haven’t been able to find single cans yet.

 

if you would buy a 6-pack of the original, you would enjoy the 6-pack of this one as well. The only reason I was able to get a single can was that my local shop let me bust open the 6pack and take one out

My fav beer ever maybe, excited to try this year’s

 

I think this is the least I’ve checked in beers since I started using the app in like 2014

 

2020: 379, 2021: 310 for me

 

472 check-ins this year (385 last year)

138 different breweries

Top 5: R. Shea Brewing (28), Wolf's Ridge Brewing (22), Hoof Hearted Brewing (20), The Brewing Projekt (18) and SingleCut (17)

308 badges (I still don't know what that means)

Also, I have no idea how to access this from the app, I got it in an e-mail.

 

If I remember from last year you can't get it on mobile

 

If you go to the app, then go to the news section, you can get to it there. But it opens in a browser page, not in the app itself.

 

Are you all checking in beers youve checked in previously or just new beers

 

I never check-in to a beer twice. All new for me.

 

I also very rarely ever drink the same beer twice.

 

both usually. But I get flights at most breweries, so that's like... 5-8 check ins per visit, which is why my count might look like a lot

 

Every beer, especially if I haven’t had it in a long time. That said, I don’t drink a ton of repeats and i also check in flights which I know some people are against for some reason.

 

untapped has helped me in one key thing.... memory. Being able to go to a brewery and immediately see what I have had from them before, and if I liked it, is so useful. Saves me from accidentally ordering something I already had and didn't like, and also helps me remember what I loved so I can get it again

 

I think I said this last year as well, but, I really need to start using one of those apps.

 

Does anyone here know about cellaring beers? I got a bottle of 190 Minute IPA about a year ago, and I learned it's meant to age well. I don't have a cellar or beer fridge so I kept that and some other beers (mostly imperial stouts, and also a quadrupel) in my closet for the past 6-12 months. But now I'm seeing that you're supposed to keep them between 50 & 65 degrees. Room temperature for the most part for me is in the low 70s, but it does get higher when I'm not running the a/c, like right now it's 77 in my apt.

Did I ruin these? Should I fridge them immediately?

 

I'm not the right guy to ask because I'm not even close to snobby about stuff like that, but I find that closets or garage is fine enough. Or in the fridge, lol I don't know.

I drink a lot of big barrel aged stouts, old ales, barleywines, etc... and I think those are just built to last forever no matter what you do to them, so my advice might not help

 

That's somewhat reassuring!

 

Same as Steve... I'm not snobby at all. I have bottles just sitting in the corner in my pantry out of sunlight and or really any light and they seem to be just fine.

 

I have a lot of beer in my closet, nothing’s ever tasted off to me. Also, re: Untappd, I had 623 check-ins (compared to 638 last year) and 521 unique beers. My top style was saison/farmhouse and tried beers from 218 breweries!
