2020 is almost over! November also brings a small haul of seasonal badges.
Sadly, no Election Day badge this year, however look out for International Stout Day on Thursday the 5th and Veterans Day on the 11th.
Finally, the Beer-giving badge should be avaliable for the 26th November.
A quick update for October.
The month starts with Canadian Beer Day on 7 October.
The middle of the month sees the Untappd Anniversary badge, celebrating the founding of Untappd in 2010. This year will also see the I Remember My First Check-In badge, specifically for Untappd’s ten year anniversary.
Dutch Beer Week, originally postponed from May to October 2020, has now been cancelled, so we’ll have to wait for 2021 for the re-emergence of that one.
Finally, 31 October is Halloween, so enjoy the Witch’s Brew badge at month end.
We are still waiting for a release of new core badges as well, so get your final votes in and keep your eyes peeled for that one!
Untappd is currently running a badge design contest, so if you are a creative type I recommend you enter now! This is the second badge made available as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations, separate to I Remember My First Check-In.
The badge itself is for the 10th Anniversary Party, which is scheduled to be held online on 24 October between 3PM and 6PM ET. The badge itself will only be able to be earnt between those times, so it will be one of the more exclusive badges around.
For Untappd’s 10th anniversary, a version of the Untappd Anniversary badge simply wasn’t enough. Instead, they have teamed up with DogFish Head to create a sour beer recipe that is available to other brewers and homebrewers.
Of course, accompanying this is a badge – simply check into any version of this beer between 18 October and 31 December to qualify for the badge. Find out more about the project on the official site.
All the action is at the start of the month.
July starts with Canada Day on the 1st, so start preparing your Canadian beers to claim the badge.
This is swiftly followed up by American Independence Day in the fourth of July. Check into any American beer to get this badge.
We are expecting a release of new core badges very shortly as well, so get your votes in and keep your eyes peeled for that one!
An open source beer that is being brewed by a number of different breweries around the world to support the hospitality industry, check into any version of the beer before 8 June 2020 to claim the badge. (Update: now extended until 8 August 2020)

National Beer Day celebrates the end of prohibition in the United States. The Act ending the prohibition of alcohol was enacted on 7 April 1933, having been signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt two weeks earlier.
However, the act didn’t take effect immediately, meaning that alcohol was illegal in the USA from January 1920 until December 1933.
To claim this badge, simply check into any beer on National Beer Day.
Simply check into a beer on your birthday to earn the Birthday Brew badge. Untappd asks for your date of birth on sign up, so make sure that’s accurate for this to work.
