Another of Untappd’s badges that are exclusive to paid subscribers, to earn this you need to be a paid member and check into any Imperial/Double IPA. Simple really, just reach for your wallet and you are halfway there!
This is the fifth of six paid badges that Untappd has said they will release in 2022.
The final of Untappd’s six badges that are exclusive to paid subscribers. To earn this one you need to be a paid member and check into any Imperial/Double New England IPA.
Following on from the Super Style badges for New England IPA’s and Imperial/Double IPA’s, this is a natural conclusion to the 2022 series of six paid badges.
The second of Untappd’s new badges that is exclusive to paid members. If you are a paid insider, simply check into any Stout Imperial / Double to earn the badge. It has to be a “plain” Imperial/Double stout, variants like Stout Imperial/Double Coffee don’t count.
This is the second of six exclusive badges that Untappd has planned for the year.
Have 5 Barleywines to earn The Wine of Beers badge. Untappd recognises three styles of Barleywine: American, English and Other, and Rye Wine and Wheat wine also count towards this badge.
A Barleywine is a strong ale of at least 6%, and usually more. They are rather sweet, due to the amount of malt added to achieve the desired ABV. Some beer critics consider them to be indistinguishable from Old Ales.
And no, despite the name, Barleywines are not a wine and contain no grapes.
Have 5 Non-Alcoholic Beers to get the Low Gravity badge.
Named for a way to measure alcohol during the brewing process, make sure your check ins are listed as the style of ‘Non-Alcoholic Beer’ to count for this badge. There are ten sub styles currently recognised on Untappd: IPA, Lager, Pale Ale, Porter / Stout, Shandy / Radler, Sour, Wheat Beer, Mead, Cider / Perry and Other.
Have 5 Russian Imperial Stouts to claim the Imperial Czar badge.
A style developed in the 1700s by British brewers, Russian Imperial Stouts were brewed for export and had a high ABV of 7% or more to last the trip. They were favoured by the court of the Russian Tsars, leading to the Imperial name.
The Russian market was closed in the 19th century and those same British brewers had to find other export markets, which directly led to the creation of the Indian Pale Ale.
The term Imperial has now become synonymous with strong beers and this is down to the popularity of the Russian Imperial Stout.
Have 5 beers that have an ABV of anywhere between 5 and 10% to claim the Middle of the Road badge.
As the vast majority of craft beers fall into this gap, this one shouldn’t be a problem. Beers 5% and under count towards Riding Steady, while 10% and over count for the Sky’s the Limit badge.
Riding Steady should be a fairly simple badge to get. For this one, check into 5 beers with an ABV lower than 5%.
ABV stands for Alcohol by Volume and measures how much alcohol is in the beer. Not all beers on Untappd list their ABV so make sure yours does so it counts towards the badge.
Untappd’s badge for Session IPAs. Have 5 to claim this one, and of course it levels up to level 100.
A session IPA or India Session Ale includes low alcohol options, but really any IPA under 5% is now counted in the category.
Another badge for strong beers, and this one’s the big one. Have 5 beers with an ABV of 10% or more!
You absolutely don’t have to do this one all in one day, so space them out and pace yourself!
Great strong styles to look out for include Russian Imperial Stouts, Triple IPAs, Quadruples, Eisbocks and Barleywines. Just make sure that it’s 10% or more and the ABV is listed on Untappd.
