What was the first beer you ever had on

?
You can find this by going and viewing your beer list, sorting Old to New, then tapping the “…” to “View Your Checkins”.
For me - it was Coors Light back in Sept 2010. I was just getting into beer at the time!

For all those
@untappd
users, we’re taking a stand on vintages, and encouraging breweries to merge vintages that are not intended to be vintages. We recommend only checking in vintage beers with a year on the label (as part of the logo), otherwise just check-in to main entry.

This is going to sound surprising, given that I founded a beer social network , but I have pretty much given up alcohol over the last year - and it’s played huge dividends in getting myself health both mentally and physically. 🏃♂️

For what it’s worth, on

, we have seen an 7% increase in check-ins to Corona Light / Extra comparing Feb 2020 to Jan 2020, and ~2% increase comparing to Dec 2019.
38% of Americans wouldn't buy Corona beer "under any circumstances" because of the coronavirus, according to a recent survey.
Just to be abundantly clear: There is no link between the virus and the beer.

- you won’t control the direction of the product

An interesting data point that I’ve discovered after looking at
