Frat Party

“Where’s the party at bro? That’s at least three cheap beers that college kids love and can afford.”

This was essentially a version of Lite Weight but for cheap American lager. To earn it you needed to check in Natural Light (Anheuser-Busch InBev), Keystone Ice (Molson Coors) and a Pabst Blue Ribbon, all at venues with a primary category of Other – College & Education.

The badge was retired in 2015, because it was both too American centric and also it kind of promoted underage drinking (as the drinking age is 21 in the USA).

Craft Brewer

Another defunct badge, to gain Craft Brewer you had to add 25 beers to the untappd database. This was originally designed to be a follow on from Home Brewer (for adding 10 beers) and be followed up by another badge for adding 100 beers, Brew Master.

Unfortunately, instead of rewarding home brewers these badges instead incentivised users to add duplicate entries to the database. To stop this onslaught of beers such as Bud-Light and BuD LiGhT, the two badges were retired.

Drinking Buddy

Introduced in November 2011, the rules for this one were a little convoluted: “Check-in to beer and a venue with a friend within 30 minutes of each other a total of 10 times in a 60 day period”.

As well as being convoluted, it caused some issues with check ins for the app – which resulted in it being “deactivated” in December 2012.

Terviseks!

The badge for Estonian beers. Check-in to five different beers from Estonia to earn Terviseks!

Introduced in November 2016, the badge celebrates Estonia’s brewing scene. The oldest brewery is Saku which dates back to 1820 and is now owned by Carlsburg. Its main competitor is A. Le Coq which is owned by Olvi.
