This episode is a celebration of the Lager. We're featuring the "Lager Jack" badge which isn't difficult to earn but isn't easy to master.

We're aware that not everyone has been riding the IPA train as hard as we have been for the last few years but for the majority of the last decade, Untappd has been ruled by the IPA. Your grocery shelves are full of them, your bottle shops have a variety of new ones, and your local brewer (probably) always has one on tap. On this episode of Drinking Socially we're discussing the I Believe in IPA badge while drinking General Braddock's from Brew Gentlemen. We also highlight The Can & Bottle Beer Shoppe in Winter Springs, FL. Drinking Socially is Untappd's Craft Beer Podcast.

While scrolling on Instagram, we discovered a post by Dominion City featuring a sign saying "Stop rating well-made craft lagers under 4.0 on Untappd". The idea for this episode was born!

Tag is universally a good time. This week we're talking about a contactless form of tag - tagging your friends in your check-ins. Since last year's Year in Beer revealed that we made it into each other's "drinking buddies" list's because we tag each other so much we figured we'd share some beers that we gave each other tonight - and tag ourselves in the check-ins too! So grab a beer and tag a friend to spread the love. Have questions, want to be a guest on the podcast, or just want to say hello? Email podcasts@untappd.com.

We love beers with a little extra ABV. Don't you? This week's spotlight is on the "Sky's The Limit" badge. You don't always intend to go for beers with a double-digit ABV, but when you do, you make it count! Be careful, 10% and up can really pack a punch. Get ready for some late night show antics as we crack open 2 beers that should probably be shared with friends... but that's a different badge. Harrison's drinking Pastry Works from Froth Brewing Co., a Pastry Stout with Peanut Butter, Graham Cracker, Coconut and Milk Sugar. Jon's drinking Dia De Los Muertos (Ghost 906) from Adroit Theory. At 13.7% ABV, this Russian Imperial Stout is the perfect balance between Bitter and Sweet, Creamy and Full Bodied, or Roasty and Malty.

We're recording this episode off the back of Beer Can Appreciation Day. We figured we'd keep the party going by featuring the badge, "For The Can".

We're leveling up this badge with Thick Haze by Oskar Blues Brewery!

Redaction: At 15:30 Harrison asks Jon if you need to drink "Uniques" to level up the Milestone badges.  Jon said that they do not need to be Unique.  Jon was wrong. 🤦‍♂  Milestone badges are only levelled up via Unique Beers. What We’re Drinking:Anchor Steam Beer - Anchor Brewing Companyhttps://untappd.com/b/anchor-brewing-company-anchor-steam-beer/6204ABV: 4.9%Style: California CommonIBU: 33Notes: San Francisco's famous Anchor Steam, the classic of American brewing tradition since 1896, is virtually handmade, with an exceptional respect for the ancient art of brewing. The deep amber color, thick creamy head, and rich flavor all testify to our traditional brewing methods. Anchor Steam is unique, for our brewing process has evolved over many decades and is like no other in the world. Anchor Steam derives its unusual name from the 19th century when "steam" seems to have been a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. The brewing methods of those days are a mystery and, although there are many theories, no one can say with certainty why the word "steam" came to be associated with beer. For many decades Anchor alone has used this quaint name for its unique beer. In modern times, "Steam" has become a trademark of Anchor Brewing.SponsorShow off your love of Untappd.
