Hot take: Pumpkin beer should exist. There, we said it. Yes, we get that these fall flavored beers can be controversial. And trust us we do love hoisting a roasty, toasty Oktoberfest or Märzen during the harvest. But Oktoberfest officially ended last Sunday. And we picked up our pumpkins at the patch this week. So you could say we have gourds on the gray matter. On this episode of the Drinking Socially podcast hosts Harrison Hickok and Jon Dispenza go for the gourd as they unlock the “Gourd to the Last Drop” badge.

On this holiday episode of Drinking Socially Hickok and Dispenza lift their steins full of Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzen as they unlock the “Oktoberfest (2021)” badge.

On this special episode of Drinking Socially Hickok and Dispenza chat with Ann Obenchain, the Marketing and Communication Director from the Brewers Association to learn more about why Local Beer Is Better. Plus, they’ll unlock the “Local Beer Is Better” badge.

Drinking Socially podcast hosts Harrison Hickok and Jon Dispenza bring porters back to popularity on this week’s episode of Drinking Socially while drinking Drayman's Porter from @berkshirebrewco as they tackle the “To The Port” badge.

English Mild Ales are anything but mild. Think of this style of beer more like Clark Kent, an unassuming reporter at the Daily Planet just waiting to rip off his shirt and don his cape at the first sign of trouble. Don’t be fooled. There is an unsung hero in every one of these malt-forward, sessionable beers! 💯 A British style that originated in the 1700s this quintessential, historic beer is perfect for those days at the pub with your mates.

Let’s get hoppy with it! We’re setting off on a beer adventure unlike any other this week. Ever heard of the city of El Dorado? It’s a legendary lost village supposedly made of gold (and also a very underappreciated 2000 animated DreamWorks film). But we’re talking about beer. And in the beer world, the El Dorado hop is considered gold. See, it all makes sense now.

You’re extra special. Yes, you are! Traditionally, ESB stands for Extra Special Bitter. An older English style, today American craft brewers are putting their own spin on the style. This week on #DrinkingSocially we’re highlighting the “You’re Extra Special” badge.

Because two is always better than one right? Why drink just a stout when you can try the Imperial version? Why drink just an IPA when you can imbibe a 2xIPA?  Like cranking up the volume, Double or Imperial beers are often characterized by amped up ABVs and flavors. We’re doubling the fun this week with a badge that’s all about double and Imperial beers.

Here’s something to really cheer about. This year Untappd has been proud to support Ales for ALS, a program that breweries from around the world have joined to help end ALS by crafting great beers.
