On April 7th, 1933, Prohibition ended and there was much rejoicing. While there were still restrictions on the ABV allowances, this opened the door for the American craft beer revolution to take hold and grow to what it is today. To celebrate, we’re bringing back our National Beer Day badge for 2013! Be sure to check-in to any beer on Sunday, April 7th and it’s all yours!
We’re also bringing back our Session Beer Day badge for 2013, so be sure to check-in to any beer with an ABV of 4.5% and below (ABV must be listed as such in Untappd to count) to get it!

How to unlock the Frat Party badge on Untappd
Visit Untappd.com, and, while logged in, click to view all your badges. Scroll through your list and find the Frat Party badge. Hover over the badge with your mouse to reveal a tip for unlocking it.
That tip reads:
Try some cheap beers at a College. We recommend PBR, Natural Ice and something you can use to open a door.
It took me a little while to figure out the secret beer in the last part of the tip. Then it dawned on me – Keystone! As much of that beer as a drank in college, it should have been obvious.
I believe you might also have to check-in using your location. Most likely, Untappd wants you to check-in at a frat house or sorority. Powered by Foursquare, those venues are a sub-category in the “College and Education” list, making them eligible venues.
Good luck getting the Frat Party badge. I hope this tip was helpful in your bro quest!

Unlocking the Brewery Loyalist badge on Untappd is rather simple. The best way to earn it is by picking up a mixed 12 pack. Note that beers do not need to be unique. So, you could have 10 Boulevard Wheat beers in a 30 day timespan, and that would count.
Here’s what the badge unlock text reads.
Some may call you picky, others narrow minded, but we call you loyal. Other breweries may try to tempt you, but you know what you like. Enjoy 10 beers from the same brewery in 30 days.
