What is hopefully a new recurring ‘Beer Day’ badge was added in 2024. Sour Beer Day is celebrated every September. For 2024 this badge was available between 19-22 September.
Untappd defines a Sour Beer as any style of Wild Ale, Brett Beer, Lambic, Sour or Farmhouse IPA, Berliner Braunbier, Lichtenhainer, Non-Alcoholic Sours, or of course, any Sour (Berliner Weisse, Fruited Berliner Weisse, Flanders Oud Bruin, Flanders Red Ale, Fruited, Gose, Fruited Gose or Other).
Celebrated on 27 October each year, simply check into any beer produced in the USA to claim this badge.
Introduced in 2022, the Beer Can Appreciation Day badge is available to anyone who checks in a beer with the serving style of can on 24 January. It’s also a great way to work towards the For the Can badge if you haven’t already picked that up.
Beer Can Appreciation Day marks the first day that beer was offered in a canned container, back in 1935.
Hair of the Dog is the reintroduced, renamed Happy Brew Year badge. Any beer on 1 January will trigger this badge.
Spotify Untappd has released its Year in Beer feature for 2022. Happily for us, the release is promoted with a new badge. To claim it, check into any beer between 13 December and 13 January. That’s so easy, you probably already have it!
The release is accompanied by seven style specific badges that are sponsored by Oskar Blues and Cigar City. Check into any beer of that style to earn each badge. They styles are: IPA – American, Pale Ale – American, IPA – New England / Hazy, Wheat Beer – Hereweizen, Blonde Ale, Dark Ale and Hard Seltzer.
After long running badges for International Stout Day and IPA Day, Untappd finally introduced a badge for National Lager Day in 2021. National Lager Day is observed on 10 December every year, so get a lager ready to celebrate and become a Lager Jack!
Fun fact: Lager is the third most popular beverage after water and tea!
The badge was broadened in 2022 to include the wider Lager family: Pilsners, Bocks, California Common, Festbier, Zoigl, Kellerbier, Malt Liquor, Rauchbier, Schwarzbier and even Baltic Porter now count towards National Lager Day.
Untappd has moved away from festive badges tied to religious holidays such as Hoppy Hanukkah and Merry Brew-mas. In its place they introduced the GIVING badge for 2020 but have now retooled it to the more friendly Season of Giving badge.
Either way, check into any beer from early December to claim the badge.
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.
Like that most American of deserts, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin beers could be described as an acquired taste. But if you check in to a Pumpkin / Yam Beer between 15 and 31 October 2022 there is a new badge to sweeten the deal.
In some ways, this is an evolution of Untappd’s old Halloween badge, Witch’s Brew (even the badge art is very similar) and of course Pumpkin / Yam Beers also count towards their own core badge, Gourd to the Last Drop.
