Like that most American of deserts, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin beers could be described as an acquired taste. But if you check in to a Pumpkin / Yam Beer between 15 and 31 October 2022 there is a new badge to sweeten the deal.
In some ways, this is an evolution of Untappd’s old Halloween badge, Witch’s Brew (even the badge art is very similar) and of course Pumpkin / Yam Beers also count towards their own core badge, Gourd to the Last Drop.
The fourth Thursday of November is kind of a big deal in America. Thanksgiving is really the national holiday, bigger than Christmas or Independence day. Check in any beer on the day to celebrate with the Beer-giving badge.
Thanksgiving celebrates the end of the harvest was first celebrated in 1621 by the pilgrims who founded the USA. It was proclaimed a federal holiday in 1863 and has been celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November since 1942.
This year it falls on the 28 November, so be sure to check in a beer and claim the badge.
Celebrate Halloween with a beer on 31 October and earn the Witch’s Brew badge.
A celebration dedicated to remembering the dead, Halloween is probably now most known for the American traditions of trick-or-treating, jack-o’-lanterns and Halloween parties.
Have 5 beers that are classed as a Pumpkin/Yam beer to earn this one.
This is a very American tradition and is rather associated with a certain Thursday in November. Spices like cinnamon or cloves are also often added to the brew.
