Year in Beer

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.

Pumpkin Beer Season

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.

International Axe Throwing Day

A fun new addition to the annual celebration badges. Check into any beer on International Axe Throwing Day (13 June) to claim this badge.

Created by the World Axe Throwing league in 2017, Untappd added this badge in 2021. 13 June also happens to be National Sewing Machine Day.

Beer-giving

The fourth Thursday of November is kind of a big deal in America. Thanksgiving is really the national holiday, bigger than Christmas or Independence day. Check in any beer on the day to celebrate with the Beer-giving badge.

Thanksgiving celebrates the end of the harvest was first celebrated in 1621 by the pilgrims who founded the USA. It was proclaimed a federal holiday in 1863 and has been celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November since 1942.

This year it falls on the 28 November, so be sure to check in a beer and claim the badge.

Veterans Day

Check in a beer on the 11 November to gain the Veterans Day badge.

Veterans Day is an American holiday for honouring their military veterans. The date is known as Rememberance Day or Armistice Day in many other parts of the world and marks the end of World War One on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.
