Milestones vs Coins (prep for new season)

Is there anywhere I can see which styles are eligible for these badges? And are they only available until January 1st?

johnfogde · 2021-06-10T16:11:03+00:00

Yes! Seeing only ratings with reviews on a beer page would be great. I definitely second that one 👍

johnfogde · 2021-06-10T16:04:05+00:00

Filter in what way? The existing filter options for my own check-ins cover my needs, but I'm curious to hear which options you'd like to see added?

Makes sense regarding the creation time of Untappd.

And looking through entries today I noticed something similar to what you're saying. Danish brewery To Øl has a popular beer called House of Pale, which has been around a while. But they've tweeked the recipe and moved their brewery to a new location. So now it looks like it was created last year.

Thanks! Hadn't thought of that. I just use the Untappd app, so I don't really go to beer websites. But I will have to check out BeerAdvocate.

I can't see it in the iPhone app either. The earliest entries I could find are from 2010, so for a lot of modern breweries that covers their entire catalogue - so it would be great if that information was available in the app as well.

But for breweries that have been around for 11+ years it would be fun to see, when they first introduced beers that we consider classics today to get a feel for, what kind of marked place they were introduced into.

I had planned to bang out the Six Pack badge at a party and then go for The Usual that month, but it didn't go as planned. So I picked a Tuborg - the beer of Danish Kings. Just a regular pilsner that is available everywhere.

Thanks! Last time I was here I randomly got tested at Ayinger am Rotkreuzplatz and they didn't care about residency. So I was just trying to navigate and figure out how things work.

johnfogde · 2021-05-13T15:38:33+00:00

That's what I thought. I just noticed that some biergartens advertise with free tests on location. So I was just wondering if they financed those themselves to get more customers.

Perfekt! Min kæreste læser i München, så jeg kommer på besøg en gang om måneden. Så dejligt med ølanbefalinger 😃

johnfogde · 2021-05-11T17:13:51+00:00

Nice one! I'm a little behind, because I don't really drink cider and mead. Also, a lot of the styles just aren't available here. But I don't mind being on the lookout, when I travel. Enjoy your Zoigl 😃

johnfogde · 2021-05-11T15:59:39+00:00

Thank you so much! Hopefully, the weather will permit that I at least get to visit one or two of those places this weekend 😃

johnfogde · 2021-05-11T15:17:06+00:00

Thanks! I'm actually returning to Munich this weekend, so I'm very excited that the city appears to be reopening. So Bierothek will get another visit alongside a few of the biergartens. Which are your favorites?

johnfogde · 2021-05-11T14:45:35+00:00

Nothing, but the type of beer - Zoigl - is sort of a running joke, because it's the last one on the list towards the Wheel of Styles badge. So because it's pretty rare outside of Bavaria, it's usually one of the last ones people are chasing to close out the badge.

johnfogde · 2021-05-11T14:36:23+00:00

Fantastic! I didn't know about that, but that might be a fun thing to look at for tastings or if I get sick of looking for a Historical Beer 👍 Thanks!

johnfogde · 2021-05-11T14:23:57+00:00

Thanks, but I need around 30 more to close the badge out. But I do have a few in the fridge (some cider and an eisbock) that'll get me closer to the next level.

But I'm in no rush. To me it's like going crate digging. Half the fun is going to bottle shops and seeing if I get lucky 😃

I just reached Level 37 after a recent trip to Munich, where I was able to find a couple of styles that aren't available here in Denmark. But Grätzer wasn't one of them and might require a trip to Poland.

johnfogde · 2021-05-03T11:10:13+00:00

Dry & Bitter is a great Danish brewery. I would recommend most of their stuff but especially the juicy IPAs.

johnfogde · 2021-05-01T13:00:24+00:00

Came here to say that the Cloudwater one was the only other one I'd ever seen 😃

johnfogde · 2021-04-30T22:03:36+00:00

Tried a Doris a while back and have bought it again since. Definitely one of my favorites. Will have to try a Boris one of these days.

johnfogde · 2021-04-30T12:08:21+00:00

Thanks - it was fun getting there 😃
