March 2023 Style updates

28th May 202328th May 2023 ~ untappdbadges ~ Leave a comment

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

The additions were:

Historical Beer – Broyhan
Historical Beer – Kuit / Kuyt / Koyt
Lager – Other (Lager Jack)
Pilsner – New Zealand (Crisp as a Day)
Golden Ale – American (Fields of Gold)
Golden Ale – English (Fields of Gold)
IPA – Fruited (I Believe in IPA! and Fruits of Your Labor)
Stout – Belgian (Heavy Weight and Beyond a Shadow of a Stout)

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.

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:

Corn Beer / Chicha de Jora
Farmhouse Ale – Bière de Coupage (Trip to the Farm)
Flavored Malt Beverage
IPA – New Zealand (I Believe in IPA!)
Koji / Ginjo Beer
Mead – Bochet (Hey Honey)

Sour – Other Gose (Pucker Up and What Gose Round)

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