This badge counts the number of different countries you have had beers from. Have beers from 5 different countries to get this badge.
The advent of widely distributed lagers should make this badge relatively easy to gain, almost everyone should be able to get their hands on a Heineken (Netherlands) or a Corona (Mexico) for example.
There’s over 200 countries in the world, so you can get this badge past level 40 if you really try.
Introduced in 2015, this is untappd’s badge for Amber and Red Ales.
Styles that count for this one include: American Amber/Red Ale, Amber/Red Lager, Irish Red Ale, Imperial/Double Red Ale, Other Red Ale or Red IPA.
This badge represents a bit of a mish mash of styles but the Irish Red Ale has a history dating back to 1710 and the start of the Smithwick Brewery. In general Red Ales are dark red in colour, and usually tend towards having smoother, less hoppy characteristics and even a caramel or toffee base flavour.
Of course, throw these expectations out the window when dealing with a American Red Ale or a Red IPA. While they may have a similar base, expect it to be just as well hopped as any APA or IPA.
To get the 2X badge have any 5 beers that are from an Imperial/Double style.
This currently includes the following styles: Brown Ale – Imperial/Double, IPA – Imperial/Double, IPA – Imperial/Double Black, IPA – Imperial/Double Milkshake, IPA – Imperial/Double New England, Pilsner – Imperial/Double, Porter – Imperial/Double, Porter – Imperial/Double Baltic, Porter – Imperial/Double Coffee, Red Ale – Imperial/Double, Stout – Imperial/Double, Stout – Imperial/Double Pastry, Stout – Imperial/Double Coffee, Stout – Imperial/Double White, Stout – Imperial/Double Milk, Stout – Imperial/Double Oatmeal, and Stout – Russian Imperial.
The country badge for France. Have 5 French beers for this one.
While not especially known for their beer, France does have some well established breweries and even its own styles.
The Kronenbourg brewery was founded in 1664 in Strasbourg, an area of Europe that has frequently been passed between France and Germany. The brewery is now owned by Carlsburg and is known for its “1664” lager. Heineken also has a strong presence in France and owns the Fischer, Pelforth, Edelweiss and Desperados brands.
Bière de Garde (or beer for keeping) is a strong, farmhouse style of beer brewed in the North East of France. It has some similarities with the Saisons from neighbouring Belgium. The most famous example of the style is 3 Monts.
Other French styles include their own style of festival/March beer (Bière de Mars), their Christmas beer (Bière de Noël) and a malty Vienna lager brewed in Corsica (Pietra beer).

There are a ton of nations known for brewing great beer in that list!
You have from the 7 June until the 7 July to unlock the 2019 version of the badge.
The country badge for China. Have 5 beers brewed by breweries in China, Hong Kong or Macau to get this badge.
Beer in China is dominated by light, mass-produced lagers. Snow beer, made in Beijing by a government owned company, is the world’s biggest selling beer by volume. Over 9 billion litres of the stuff is sold annually.
Other major brands include Tsingtao, Yanjing, Harbin (owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev) and the Zhujiang, or Pearl River, brewery.
Have 5 taster sized check ins to get this badge. Which conveniently is the size of a flight at many craft beer bars. Enough said!
This badge is for Witbiers. Have 5 to gain level 1.
A traditional Belgian style that literally means wheat beer, they are usually spiced by coriander and orange peel.
The style had fallen into obscurity until it was very successfully revived in the 1960s with Hoegaarden (now owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev). Another well known Witbeer is the American Blue Moon Belgian White (Molson Coors).
The country badge for Scotland. Check in 5 Scottish beers to get this one and remember, they all also count towards God Save the King.
Like the rest of Britain, Ales originally dominated the Scottish brewing scene. Now famous breweries like Tennent’s, Belhaven and Deuchars were established in the 1700s. (They are now owned by Magners, Greene King and Heineken respectively.)
Scottish brewers also developed their own styles. For a time in the 1800s, hoppy Edinburgh pale ales rivaled India Pale Ales for popularity throughout the British Empire. There is also the Scotch Ale, which lives on today. These “wee heavies” are sweet, malty, and strong.
The craft beer revolution was bought to Scotland in a big way with the launch of BrewDog in 2007. Known for their hoppy IPAs and aggressive marketing, they now own a series of pubs around the world and have inspired many other dog themed craft breweries around the world.
Other Scottish craft breweries making waves include the more traditional Innes & Gunn, the Tempest Brew Co, Fierce Beer and Fyne Ales.
For this badge check into a beer at 5 venues categorised as a Brewery, Cidery or Meadery. It doesn’t have to be the venue’s main or only classification on Foursquare.
Their also isn’t any requirement for the beer checked in to be from that brewery, just any beer will do.
