Celebrate Oktoberfest

An evolution of last year’s Oktoberfest (2021) badge, it can be earned by checking into any beer that is a Festbier or Märzen between 17 September and 3 October.

The badge of course celebrates Oktoberfest, one of the oldest and biggest beer festivals in the world. Held every September, each year around 8 million litres of beer is served to the six million people who attend the festival. There are six traditional Munich breweries that take part in the festival, and each brews stronger beers that have been prepared all winter, ready for the Spring celebrations.

International Beer Day

5 August 2022 is International Beer Day. Check into any beer today to claim this badge.

While not officially recognised anywhere, International Beer Day was first organized in 2008 and is celebrated on the first Friday of August. This usually means it is the day after National IPA Day, which is the first Thursday of August.

The event is not to be confused with National Beer Day in the United States, which is celebrated on 7 April each year.

Super Style: American IPA

Following Untappd’s refresh of its supporter programme and its rebrand as Insiders, Untappd has now released the first of a series of “Super Style” badges that are exclusive to members.

This badge is attainable if you are a member of the Insiders programme and you check into an American IPA style beer. Like a normal badge, it then levels up every 5 additional check ins you make.

Untappd has just followed this one up with an Imperial/Double Stout badge, with more expected to be on their way soon.

World Cider Day

One for the Cider lovers. World Cider Day was on 3 June – to claim this badge you needed to have any cider between 3-5 June.

The day is specifically to celebrate Apple ciders, and is in June to mark the start of the Northern hemisphere’s summer, as summer is the perfect time for a refreshing cider.
