The second of Untappd’s new badges that is exclusive to paid members. If you are a paid insider, simply check into any Stout Imperial / Double to earn the badge. It has to be a “plain” Imperial/Double stout, variants like Stout Imperial/Double Coffee don’t count.
This is the second of six exclusive badges that Untappd has planned for the year.
2021 is almost over! November also brings a small haul of seasonal badges.
International Stout Day fell on Thursday the 4th this year but the badge has been extended due to technical issues. Veterans Day survived the cull last year, so look out next week to see if it makes a return on the 11th.
The Small Brewery Sunday badge is available all month long, so look out for some American craft to claim it.
Finally, check into any beer between the 5th and 10th to claim the Next Exit badge, promoting the launch of Untappd’s latest You Tube video series.
Untappd finally has a badge for the Stout’s answer to a Hazy IPA, the Pastry Stout. Simply check into 5 Pastry Stouts (or Imperial/Double Pastry Stouts) to claim the badge.
And of course, those beers will also count for the Heavy Weight and Beyond a Shadow of a Stout badges as well, so you are definitely winning by seeking out a Pastry Stout.
A Stout that is brewed to be intentionally sweet, the “style” has allowed craft brewers to be creative with almost any flavour under the sun being fair game. The best pastry stouts can include anything from the obvious (like chocolate) to the slightly more challenging (marshmallow or mint) to the absurd, and everything in between.
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.
2020 is almost over! November also brings a small haul of seasonal badges.
Sadly, no Election Day badge this year, however look out for International Stout Day on Thursday the 5th and Veterans Day on the 11th.
Finally, the Beer-giving badge should be avaliable for the 26th November.
A badge for coffee Stouts and Porters. Check in with 5 different ones to claim the badge.
A favourite with craft brewers, these dark beers have a distinctive coffee flavour that can be paired with other flavours such as plum, vanilla or chocolate.
Introduced in December 2019, Untappd finally has a badge for Stouts. Simply have 5 Stouts to claim the badge. It levels upto level 100.
Stouts are the dominant style of dark beer and traditionally focus on the malt over the hops. They are celebrated every November on International Stout Day.
Five sub-styles of Stout currently have their own badges as well: Oatmeal Stouts, Milk Stouts, Coffee Stouts, Pastry Stouts and Russian Imperial Stouts. All Stouts also count towards the Heavy Weight badge. In addition, Non-Alcoholic Beer – Porter / Stout count towards the Low Gravity badge.
International Stout Day is celebrated on the first Thursday of November each year. Check in a Stout on the day to claim the badge.
The badge for Stouts is called Beyond a Shadow of a Stout.
Untappd currently recognises 17 different styles of Stout, including Oatmeal, Irish Dry (think Guinness), Coffee, the sweet Milk stout, the strong Russian Imperial and the fashionable Pastry stout.
This is the badge for the serving style of nitro. Have 5 beers served this way to get the badge. It levels upto 100.
Beers carbonated by a mix containing nitrogen gas instead of the more common CO2 have a smoother, silkier head. It is most commonly associated with stouts, and especially Guinness.
In theory any style can be served on Nitro, however it tends to fade hoppy aromas which doesn’t exactly make it ideal for your average IPA.
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.
