Oat of this World!
The badge for Oatmeal Stouts. Have 5 beers classed as Stout – Oatmeal or Stout – Imperial/Double Oatmeal to claim the badge.
As the name suggests, Oatmeal Stouts have oats added to them early in the brewing process. Oats have been used in beer since the middle ages because they are cheap and plentiful, however the use of too many can create a bitter taste to the beer.
Oats have been added to Stouts in particular since the 19th century when porridge was associated with good health and milk Stouts were also popular. The right mix of oats added to a Stout can increase the smoothness and mouthfeel.
Burger Heaven
A venue badge. Simply have a beer at 5 different burger joints to claim this one.
The two are natural bedfellows. The most famous burger joint, McDonald’s, even serves beer in some parts of the world.
As with all the venue badges, Untappd relies on Foursquare for their venue data.
Risk Taker
Try 10 recommendations in a 90 day period for the Risk Taker badge.
Your recommendations can be found at the bottom of the ‘Discover’ page on your app. Recommendations are based on the styles you enjoy and beers your friends have recently had.
Schwarz-buckler
Have 5 Schwarzbier’s to gain the Schwarz-buckler badge.
A style of black lager from Germany, the name literally means black beer in German. As well as Schwarzbier, Lager – Dark and Lager – Euro Dark also count for this badge.
They have similarities with Dunkels, however they are usually darker in colour (more black than brown), as well as containing more roasted malts and having a drier finish.
Hotel Hopper
A venue badge, check into beers at five different venues categorised as a hotel to unlock the badge.
As well as hotels, other similar venues such as Motels, Vacation Rentals, Resorts, Travel Lounge and Hostels all count towards the badge.
As with all venue badges, Untappd relies on another app, Foursquare, for its category data.
Your Wish Came True
Have 5 beers from your wish list to make sure Your Wish Came True.
If you are cynical about it, this badge is extremely easy to achieve. Simply add each beer to your wishlist just before you check it in. Do this 10 times within 60 days to earn the badge.
Somewhat sensibly, the badge does not level up.
So Udderly Sweet
Untappd’s badge for Milk Stouts, have 5 of them to earn level 1 of this badge.
Milk Stouts have lactose added to them during brewing to make them slightly sweet. Lactose is a milk sugar and, unlike normal sugars, it doesn’t break down during the brewing process.
The oldest Milk Stout still in existence is probably Mackeson Stout, which is now produced by Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Local Flavor
Introduced in 2012, check-in to five beers brewed within a 35-mile radius of your current location to unlock Local Flavor.
That’s just over 56 kilometres for the rest of the world…
Viennaville
Have 5 Vienna lagers to claim the Viennaville badge.
A traditional murky brown lager, Vienna lagers represent what a lager would have been before the technique was combined with pale malts to create the pale lagers and pilsners that dominate today’s beer market.
