Untappd releases 8 new core badges
Posted on August 9, 2012 by Craig Bowman

Untappd announced yesterday that they are releasing 8 new core badges. Four of the new badges are focused on beer styles such as lagers, barrel aged beers, pale ales, and sour beers. Three of the new badges are focused on venue and location type of check-ins, and finally the last of the eight is based on socially sharing your check-ins via facebook, twitter or foursquare. The new badges are listed below, check them out!
Untappd stated today: Due to some bugs on our end, we’re suspending our new Barrel Aged badge until further notice. Sorry about that!
Badge | Name | Badge Message | How to unlock |
 | Pucker Up | Right about now you’re feeling your face tighten and your taste buds explode. The full pucker is quickly setting in and you can’t get enough. This is the wonder of the sour. | Check-in to 10 different sour beers. |
 | Pale as the Moon | Ahh, the trusty pale ale; crisp, refreshing, and always a good choice in a bind. | Check-in to 10 different pale ales. |
 | Lager Jack | After a long day, what better way to kick back than with a crisp and refreshing lager? You’re already feeling more relaxed, aren’t you? | Check-in to 10 different lagers. |
 | Barrel Aged | Aging a beer takes a lot of patience. Most of us just want to enjoy it as soon as possible. But good... more like amazing things from to those who wait! | Check-in to 10 different barrel aged beers. |
 | Local Flavor | Supporting local breweries is what helps the craft beer scene grow. You obviously know this since you’re enjoying the local flavor! Be sure to always drink locally. | Check-in to 5 beers brewed within a 35-mile radius of your current location. |
 | Hotel Hopper | Whether you’re having a room party or hanging at the hotel bar, you know the essential part of any trip, an awesome beer! | Check-in 5 times at a hotel. |
 | Taste the Music | Beer and music share many similarities; different styles, different collaborations, some smooth, some loud. It’s no wonder they go together so well! | Check-in 5 times at a concert venue. |
 | Bottle Share | Sharing is caring. Obviously you know this since you’ve been sharing your excellent check-ins with all of your friends! | Share at least 10 check-ins socially (facebook, twitter or foursquare) in 60 days. |
