Any Country Based Badge
On Untappd, we have a hierarchy system when Beers belong to Breweries. You'll notice that the badge hint on the country badges says: "Drink 5 different beers from a brewery from country X". Sometimes the bottle itself will say "Made in X", but we are not indicating this for our country badges, but where the brewery's home location is located.
It's not where the beer is made, it's where we have the brewery that the beer is assigned to is located. An example is Evil Twin. Evil Twin is brewery located in New York City. Their beer bottles say "Made in Denmark", but their country of origin is the United States.
New Brew Thursday
New Brew Thursday requires you to check-in 3 new beers 3 Thursdays in a row in a 20 day period. You can only level up once every 20 days and can only gain progress towards a level once per 24 hour period. To see if you are eligible to level up, go to your badge page and select the New Brew Thursday badge. If you are within 20 days of date at the bottom, you are not eligible for the next level.
Power Month or The Usual
All monthly badges (like Power Month and The Usual) calculate based off of a moving 30 day window. Therefore, you must be a member with Untappd for at least 30 days before the badge will award. Even if you Check-In 30 beers in your first 2 days, since your account is not 30 old the badge will not award. As long as you make a check-in after 30 days and the requirements are met in a 30 day window the badge will award.
Winter Wonderland
"Winter" needs to be in the style or in the title or it must be a winter related theme such as Snow, Blizzard etc.
