This is a big one. Introduced in 2018, simply track down five Triple IPAs to get this badge. And yes, it levels all the way up to 100.
Triple IPAs are heavily hopped, intense syrupy beers that are an extension of the Double IPA style. Untappd also recognised Triple New England IPAs, which count for both this badge and Haze for Days.
Probably the most famous example is Pliny the Younger, but if you have missed out on that here’s a list of some other excellent options.
It used to be said that there was no style more “craft” than a black IPA. While trends may have moved on to sours or hazy IPAs, Black or Cascadian IPAs remain a popular style.
To get this badge check 5 beers that are classed as IPA – Black/Cascadian Dark Ale or IPA – Imperial/Double Black. These beers also count towards both the IPA badge and the Dark beer badge.
Cascadia is a nod to a type of hop that is commonly used in these beers (Cascade) and also refers to the Pacific North West Region of the US, where this style was first developed (think Oregon, Washington and even Northern California).
This one shouldn’t be too much of a challenge: five IPA beers of any of the various styles. The badge goes up to level 100, that’s 500 IPAs so get going.
There are 26 styles of IPA that currently recognised by untappd: American, Belgian, Black/Cascadian Dark Ale, Brett, Brown, Brut, Cold, English, Farmhouse, Fruited, Imperial/Double, Imperial/Double Black, Imperial/Double Milkshake, Imperial/Double New England, Other, Milkshake, New England, Non-Alcoholic, Quadruple, Red, Rye, Session/India Session Ale, Sour, Triple, Triple New England and White / Wheat. Note APAs don’t count as they are classed as Pale Ales.
There are also separate badges for Black, Hazy, Milkshake, Session and Triple IPAs.
Originally the badge was introduced in 2011 as a collaboration with another website and was limited to only five specific IPAs: Dogfish Head’s 60 Minute IPA, Bell’s Two Hearted IPA, the New Belgium Ranger IPA, Sierra Nevada’s Torpedo Extra IPA and the Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA. A pretty good starting point if you ask me!
