When someone looks at you and says "Pints?", this is the pint they're talking about. If you want something else, you'll have to specify. It's rich, it's creamy, and it's black (well actually, if you look closely, Guinness is ruby red in color but don't tell anyone!). It's everything it promises to be - every time. It's what we're famous for and although we love all of our beers just the same, it will always hold a special place in our Guinness Draught-loving hearts. Hopefully in yours, too. The original nitro beer. Truly unique. Perfectly balanced.
Badge Criteria: Check in one (1) Guinness Draught Stout between March 19, 2025 and July 31, 2025.

Hoppy International Women's Day!
Did you know women were the OG brewers!? Dating as far back as 4000 B.C., Sumerian women were found on Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets brewing beer. Take a brief look throughout history and you'll see the crucial role women played in making beer:
2000 B.C. – Evidence of Egyptian women making beer. The Egyptian goddess Hathor, the inventress of brewing and mistress of intoxication, is one of the first known goddesses of beer.
600-1000 A.D. – It was common in the Wari empire of Peru for women to make chicha, a fermented corn brew.
1400 A.D. – By this year women in London made up thirty percent of the brewers' guild. Called Ale Wives or Brewsters, these women owned taverns and brewed beer.
1500-1600 A.D. – As witchcraft became a great public concern, women's role in beer was seen as "bewitched," and by the late 1700-1800s the word brewster had all but disappeared and with it women drinking and working with beer.
Still, the numbers are growing. So, when we celebrate International Women's Day on March 8th, it is more important than ever to recognize the achievements of women and femme-identifying folks in craft beer.
For the Untappd community, specifically honoring International Women's Day could mean earning the "International Women's Day" badge inspired by artwork from Hop Culture's BW(O)B artist, Kailah Ogawa. Check in any one (1) beverage between March 7 and 10, 2025.

The Second Annual Untappd Community Awards are now live!
After a wildly successful debut, the Untappd Community Awards return for a second year. Last year, Untappd, the company connecting brewers, retailers, and beer enthusiasts globally, celebrated the best in beer, recognizing 25,302 beers from nearly 7,500 breweries in 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and 50 countries worldwide. Powered by ratings from nearly 11 million beer lovers on the world's largest social networking platform for craft beer enthusiasts, the inaugural awards shined a spotlight on the world's most beloved beer across 268 beer substyles (more on qualifications below).
Building on that momentum, the 2025 Untappd Community Awards, presented by Ollie brewery management software, will double down on its mission to celebrate the craft beer community, honoring 25,462 of the world's top-rated beers from 7,033 breweries across the globe.
For our second year, we're doling out awards to the top three beers in all qualifying substyles across all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. as well as the 50 countries with the most check-ins from 2024.
Check out all the top-notch beers that won in your neck of the woods. Afterward, we highly encourage you to go visit the many great breweries that worked so hard to produce these amazing beverages and try them!
Oh, and don't forget to check them in!
Who won? What beers should you go seek out and check in right now?
You'll only know by checking out our list of winners!
Beers were ranked by style according to their average rating from check-ins with ratings in the calendar year 2023. The date a beer was brewed or released was not a factor.
One user, one vote per beer! We counted the last check-in from each user who checked in the beer in 2023. If a user rated a given beer multiple times in 2023, only the final check-in with a rating counted.
For a beer to qualify, it must have received at least 50 check-ins from 50 unique Untappd community members in 2023.
For a substyle to qualify for the Community Awards, there must have been at least 3 qualifying beers in the substyle in the selected geography in 2023.
Beers qualify based on the brewery's primary location, not the location of the check-ins, user, etc.
Vintage beers are eligible, but only the highest-rated vintage was recognized. For example, if the 2021 vintage qualified and had a higher rating than the 2022 vintage, we removed the 2022 vintage from consideration.
Importantly, Untappd team members had no subjective input on these awards. No brewers received preferential treatment. The only criteria were the objective metrics outlined above based on the ratings of Untappd community members all around the world.
Congratulations to each brewery with award winners! Claim custom shareable content for each of your award-winning beers on your Claimed Brewery page and feel free to reach out if you have any questions about how to celebrate this milestone.
Smithwick's Red Ale has been brewed with passion since 1710. That's when John Smithwick arrived in Kilkenny to start his own brewery. Since then Smithwick's has consistently defied expectations. Brewed in secret for decades, it became the surprise toast of the town in 1892, winning the first prize in Dublin's Rotunda Exhibition of Brewers and Distillers. The intense dark ruby-red appearance belies a subtle balanced profile – mild bitterness from hops that's balanced by the sweetness of malt and roasted barley. It's a historical treasure still enjoyed across the world every day. So spend some time with an Irish legend tonight.
