Dutch Beer Week

~ untappdbadges ~ 3 Comments

Seeing as I covered American Craft Beer Week yesterday, it would be remiss of me not to mention that it is also Dutch Beer Week.

For this one, check into three different Dutch beers between 16 and 26 May. This one isn’t limited to craft beers, so if Heineken, Heineken Light and Groschl are your thing, go wild.

This badge has been around since 2012 and is a sponsored badge.

And just a note for consistencies sake, I usually won’t be covering sponsored badges on the blog here as there are so many it’s almost an impossible task. However, badges that have been around a while and are also relatively achievable all around the world will usually get a mention.

American Craft Beer Week

For this badge, check-in to any beer from an independent American craft brewery between 13th May and 19th May.

That means any American beer produced by a brewery classified on Untappd as a Regional, Micro, or Nano Brewery, or a Brew Pub.

Sponsored by the Brewers Association (of America), this badge has been offered every year since 2011 to celebrate American Craft Beer Week. The Brewers Association also publish a list of breweries that qualify as independent.

New Brew Thursday

To unlock this badge you need to check into three new beers on three different Thursdays over a 30 day period. So essentially on three out of four Thursdays.thursday

While a little convoluted to get, this badge can be leveled up as well.

Also note that you can only level up once every 30 days for New Brew Thursday.

The badge is named after a now defunct podcast. However the badge lives on!

Cinco de Mayo

Check in a Mexican beer on the 5th of May to receive this badge and celebrate Cinco de Mayo with untappd!

The festival celebrates Mexico’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on 5 May 1862. It is also observed in the United States, where it celebrates Mexican-American culture. In 2013 more than $US600 million worth of beer was purchased in the United States for Cinco de Mayo, more than for the Super Bowl or St. Patrick’s Day!
