This should be interesting. I've always found Untappd to be one of the best apps out there is constantly improving. BeerAdvocate has some decent forums but the rest of the site seems to be a hot mess.

Untappd has the great distinction of hosting the Fyre fest of Beer festivals.

That being said, I wouldn’t turn down a chance to go this year. Figure they learned some lessons.

For those of you in MN, get the mncraftbeer app. Has all of the states breweries, and is synced with untappd

I love me some Beer Advocate. They're trying to spin this as a good thing, but I'm afraid of what it'll do to it long term.

I guess the optimist in me hopes that they improve untappd's rating structure so that people are actually putting some thought in to their rating based on appearance, nose, taste and mouthfeel, but the cynic in me would think it's more likely to just cheapen the reviews on BA.
