Year in Beer

Spotify Untappd has released its Year in Beer feature for 2022. Happily for us, the release is promoted with a new badge. To claim it, check into any beer between 13 December and 13 January. That’s so easy, you probably already have it!

The release is accompanied by seven style specific badges that are sponsored by Oskar Blues and Cigar City. Check into any beer of that style to earn each badge. They styles are: IPA – American, Pale Ale – American, IPA – New England / Hazy, Wheat Beer – Hereweizen, Blonde Ale, Dark Ale and Hard Seltzer.

Untappd Derby

To celebrate Untappd’s version of the Kentucky Derby, they have also released a new badge. It is available from 29 April until 1 May, the date of the running of the actual Derby.

To get it, you simply need to check into a beer from one of the following styles: Farmhouse Ale – Saison, Pale Ale, Stout, Sour, Lager, Belgian, Pilsner, Porter or Wheat.

Pale as the Moon

Pale Ales are in some ways the foundation of the craft beer movement. To earn this badge simply check in 5 Pale Ales. It levels up to 100 so you don’t have to stop after 5.

Pale Ales can be as varied as the classic Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, an America hoppy style ale, to the very Belgian Pauwel Kwak served in it’s traditional test tube style glass.

Untappd recognises the following styles of Pale Ale that all count towards the badge: American, Australian, Belgian, English, Other, Milkshake, New England, New Zealand, XPA (Extra Pale) and American Pale Wheat. Non-Alcoholic Beer – Pale Ale’s are also included.
