March 2023 Style updates

A wee while ago now, but Untappd added a few new styles back in 2023.

The additions were:

In addition, Lager – Amber and Lager – Red got merged into Lager – Amber / Red (Lager Jack and Paint the Town Red), Golden Ale got renamed to Golden Ale – Other (Fields of Gold) and IPA – Brown (I Believe in IPA!, but oddly not Bravo for Brown) was added back into the database.

By my count, that takes the total number of styles on Untappd up to 253, meaning that you can now take the Wheel of Styles badge up to level 51.

2021 Style update

It’s not as exciting as a new badge but Untappd has released its latest style update. Let’s have a look at the changes and how they affect the badges.

Some styles have had minor name changes (for example IPA – New England is now IPA – New England / Hazy) but there are no big changes to existing styles.

There have also been 11 new styles added:

With all of the new styles, the Wheel of Styles badge can now reach level 44.

Spring 2020 Style update

It’s not as exciting as a new badge but Untappd has released its style updates for Spring. Let’s have a look at the changes and how they affect the badges.

Bière de Garde and Bière de Mars are both now recognised as Farmhouse Ales and count towards the Trip to the Farm badge as well as their own Beer for Keeping badge.

Graff is now listed as “Cider – Graff” and counts towards the Johnny Appleseed badge.

And one other minor updates that happened in April: Honey beer now counts towards the Hey Honey badge.
