Untapped Pale Ale at Alestones, Tardebigge

People often ask me if I use Untapped. The trouble is that there’s so much to do when you get in a pub that often phones ruin the whole experience; especially if it’s somewhere that you’ve never been in before. First, you have to take a picture of the beer’s pump clip if it’s a beer that you’ve never tried before so that you can update your ticker’s list later. Next, you have to see if you can get onto the pub’s wi-fi. Once you’ve given up on that, you log onto Facebook to check in and let your friends know where you are. Then there’s the obligatory conversation with the bar staff about the missing Cask Marque certificate for you to scan. You’ve now got to score your beer; though this can be a bit harsh if you’ve only had a sip. But you wouldn’t want to pay for a sour one. After that, the last thing to do is to start searching for where you’re going to next.
