Let's celebrate Baltic Porter Day! A style that doesn't get nearly enough attention, Baltic porters are actually high-ABV lagers that drink super smooth, chocolatey, and roasty.
A style perfect for the colder months, Baltic porters now have their own entire day of celebration.
So, you know they must be good!
A Quick History of Baltic Porters
The Baltic porter originated from English porters, named after London's hardworking porters responsible for loading ships and engaging in trade with the Baltic states. Originally crafted in the countries near the Baltic Sea, the Baltic porter is actually a lager!
Baltic porters undergo a cold fermentation and cold lagering process, which plays a crucial role in maintaining their distinct, clean, and intricate flavors and more robust, velvety mouthfeel.
Porter beers share similarities with imperial stouts as they often exhibit flavors of cocoa, chocolate, nuts, and coffee. Additionally, they boast a higher alcohol content and are known for their deep, dark appearance.
How Do I Earn the New Badge?
Of course, at Untappd, we're giving you the opportunity to earn a unique badge.
To earn this year's "Baltic Porter Day (2024)" badge: Check in any one (1) beer in the style "Porter - Baltic" or "Porter - Imperial / Double Baltic" from Jan. 19, 2024 - Jan. 21, 2024.

Style Updates
New Styles Added
Altbier - Sticke: Sticke is a stronger, specialty German beer style from Düsseldorf. Known for its higher alcohol content (usually 6-7.5% ABV), a rich malt sweetness with caramel and toffee notes, and a hop balance, Sticke beers are typically available seasonally, offering a unique twist on the classic Altbier. Sticke beers have a deep copper to dark brown color, and they showcase a blend of malt and hop flavors with a clean ale yeast fermentation. They are highly regarded in the Düsseldorf region for their complex and well-balanced profile. (Source: Moderator Crafted)
Cider - Applewine: A style of cider with a higher ABV, achieved by fermenting fruit pulp instead of juice, often with added sugar. This leads to a more potent final product with more pronounced flavors. (Source: Moderator Crafted)
Cider - Basque: Basque cider is an apple cider originating from the Basque region of Europe, where it is served at sagardotegi (cider houses). Known locally as Sagardoa, this cider is flat (non-carbonated) and poured from bottles at height. Apple harvesting starts in September and October to prepare the raw materials for barrel fermentation before the cider ferments up to the middle of spring. Spontaneous fermentation is the preferred way to produce the Basque style of cider, as opposed to using commercial yeast. (Source: Wikipedia)
Cream Ale - Imperial / Double: A twist on traditional American cream ales, the imperial versions take the silky base of the lager/ale hybrid style and turn up the flavor and ABV. While standard cream ales are rarely adjuncted, imperial cream ales are almost always full of added ingredients such as coffee, chocolate, vanilla, or fruit, and some breweries will even barrel-age their version. (Source: Moderator Crafted)
Farmhouse Ale - Brett: Any farmhouse ale fermented with Brettanomyces or a mixture of Brettanomyces and other yeasts. (Source: Moderator Crafted)
Farmhouse Ale - Kornøl: A traditional beer from northwestern Norway, Kornøl is pale, hazy, sweet, fruity, and typically features juniper and kveik flavors. It's known for its grainy, juniper, and fruity flavors, with light carbonation and an alcohol strength of 6-8% ABV. (Source: Moderator Crafted)
Lager - American Pre-Prohibition: A rediscovery of a pre-Prohibition beer style in the U.S., this lager includes adjuncts like corn, rice, or sugar and hopped with domestic and imported hops. It's darker than modern American lagers, with robust bitterness and a hoppy character. (Source: BYO Article)
Lager - Polotmavé (Czech Amber): An amber lager from Czechia with a malt-driven profile and varying hop character, polomavéflavors range from bready and biscuity to caramelly. These Czech lagers are distinguished by their slightly fuller body and more complex flavor profile. (Source: BJCP)
Lager - Rotbier: Nürnberger Rotbier, a traditional German beer from Nuremberg, is known for its reddish hue and rich malt-forward taste, featuring caramel, toffee, and nutty notes. (Source: Moderator Crafted)
Lager - Smoked: A lager made with a portion of smoked malts. The base style can vary, including pale lager, Helles, Pilsner, or other lager styles. (Source: Moderator Crafted)
Lager - Světlé (Czech Pale): A light-bodied, refreshing, hoppy, and bitter pale Czech lager with flavors similar to the stronger Czech Premium Pale Lager but in a lower alcohol, lighter-bodied format. (Source: BJCP)
Lager - Tmavé (Czech Dark): Rich, dark, malty Czech lagers with a roast character ranging from almost absent to quite prominent, offering an interesting and complex flavor profile. (Source: BJCP)
Pale Ale - Fruited: Fruited Pale Ales are, as the name suggests, pale ales containing a proportion of fruit. Typically this will be in the form of purées or juices that have been added during the brewing process. Zest, peel, or even whole fruits may also be used. Fruit may be added at the end of the boil so that it is present during fermentation. Alternatively, fruit may be added post-fermentation when a fresher fruit character is desired. A fruited pale ale should not contain any lactose (or vanilla if used as a vegan-friendly alternative) as this would be classed as a Pale Ale - Milkshake.
Porter - Smoked: A dark beer with a significant roasted malt character and a smoky depth thanks to wood-smoked malt. Different woods lend different flavors to the finished product. (Source: CraftBeer)
Sour - Catharina: Originating from Santa Catarina, Brazil, Catharina Sour is known for using fresh fruits that dominate the beer's flavor and aroma, including Brazilian fruits like jabuticaba and acerola cherry. (Source: Catharina Sour)
Sour - Tomato / Vegetable Gose: A variation of the classic Gose with the addition of tomatoes or other vegetables, popular in Eastern Europe. It can mimic popular cocktails or soups, and the tomato component is added during fermentation. (Source: Moderator Crafted)
Wheat Beer - Fruited: Fruited Wheat Beers are, as the name suggests, wheat beers (including Hefeweizen and Witbier) containing a proportion of fruit. Typically this will be in the form of purées, juices, or whole fruits that have been added during the brewing process. Fruit may be added at the end of the boil so that it is present during fermentation. Alternatively, fruit may be added post-fermentation when a fresher fruit character is desired.
Renamed Styles
Altbier to Altbier - Traditional
Old Ale to Old / Stock Ale: Old / Stock Ales undergo aging, often for years, contributing to a rich, wine-like, sweet oxidation character. They are copper-red to very dark in color. Historically, stock ales were very strong and used for blending to add an "old" quality and perhaps acidity. (Source: Beer and Brewing, Wikipedia)
Golden Ale - American to Blonde / Golden Ale - American, Golden Ale - English to Blonde / Golden Ale - English, Golden Ale - Other to Blonde / Golden Ale - Other
Cider - Ice / Applewine to Cider - Ice: Ice cider can be made in two ways, either by cryoconcentration or cryoextraction. Most ice ciders are made by cryoconcentration, meaning apples are harvested in the fall and pressed, and the juice is put outside to freeze during the colder months. Cryoextraction involves leaving apples on the trees during the height of winter and placing them at the mercy of the elements so that the fruit is frozen and dried. They are then picked during this period when the temperatures usually range from -8 °C to 15°C. The extreme weather ensures the apples remain frozen during pressing. Once pressed, the juice is fermented at a low temperature for approximately eight months. (Source: Wikipedia)

Winter Ale: Winter Ale, although not technically a beer style per se, can certainly be considered a widespread brewing tradition. The custom of brewing a stronger-than-normal ale for drinking against the chills of the coldest months of the year is doubtless as old as brewing in Northern Europe itself. Earlier unhopped or lightly hopped ales were particularly suitable for being heated and spiced, giving rise to such winter's drinks as "ale posset", a drink mixing piping hot ale with bread, milk, sugar, ginger, and nutmeg. The rise of hopped beer, which reacts badly to being heated, seems to have meant the decline of hot ale drinks. However, drinkers continued to express a desire for stronger, sweeter, and often darker beers in the winter months. These seasonal beers have an emphasis on darker malts and sometimes use spices alongside hops, recalling the old heated spiced ales. Many winter ales in Europe are dubbed "Christmas ales," and this is an old tradition, although in the United States this is often translated to "holiday ale". (Source: Beer and Brewing)
Winter Warmer: A winter warmer is a traditional malty-sweet strong ale that is brewed in the winter months. As type of old ale, it is usually quite dark (but not as dark as a stout), with a big malt presence. Sometimes, winter warmers have a few spices, especially in the United States, although spices are not necessarily a required ingredient in a winter warmer ("Winter Ale" would be a more appropriate choice for other seasonal spiced beers). The primary characteristic is strength; while a standard old ale would fall between 5% and 6%, the average winter warmer ranges from 6% to 8% ABV, while some reach 10% ABV or more. (Source: Wikipedia)
Porter - American: Inspired by the storied English Porter, the American Porter tends to make its own rules. With plenty of innovation, brewers in the US have taken this style to a new level, whether it's highly hopping the brew or adding chocolate to complement the highly roasted and burnt flavor associated with this type of beer. The color could be medium brown to inky black and the range of hop bitterness is also quite wide, but most are balanced. Quite a few easy drinking session Porters can be found as well. (Source: BeerAdvocate)
Kellerbier / Zwickelbier: Kellerbier is a type of German beer, an unfiltered lager originating in Franconia. Kellerbier contains more of its original brewing yeast, held in suspension. As a result, it is distinctly cloudy, and is described in German as naturtrüb (naturally cloudy). Kellerbier is often served directly from the barrel in a beer garden, but may be bottled as well. The term Zwickelbier, regionally Zwickel or Zwickl, refers to a weaker and less full-flavored variant of Kellerbier. Originally, it was used to refer to the small amount of beer taken by a brewmaster from the barrel with the aid of a special siphon called the Zwickelhahn. It is less hoppy, and typically not left to age as long as Kellerbier. (Source: Wikipedia)
Specialty Grain: The Specialty Grain beer is a catch-all style for beers enhanced by or featuring the character of additional grain or grains, other than the more traditional barley, wheat and rye grains. The color and specific character of the beer depends greatly on the character of the added grains. Examples of these alternative grains are Oats, Buckwheat, Spelt, Quinoa, or other historical grains like Einkorn or Emmer, all of which are added or used exclusively. Ales made with Rice can also be included here as long as it is not intended to be used as an adjunct to reduce the beer brewing costs, but to rather showcase the Rice grain. Note that if the specialty grain is a minor addition and does not provide a noticeable distinguishable character to the beer, it should go in the base style of the beer. (Source: RateBeer)

Want laten we eerlijk zijn, de kans dat je deze maand zonder een enkel biertje doorkomt, is wellicht kleiner dan je denkt. Maar geen zorgen, wij oordelen niet. Sterker nog, we supporten je in elke slok - of die nu alcohol bevat of niet.
Voor de 'flexibele' doorzetters, degenen die misschien een dagje smokkelen, hebben we ook iets in petto. Want bij vandeStreek begrijpen we dat soms een beetje flexibiliteit nodig is. Het leven is tenslotte te kort om jezelf al te strenge regels op te leggen, toch?
Ons doel tijdens Dry January is niet alleen om je te ondersteunen in je alcoholvrije reis, maar ook om je te laten zien dat non-alcoholische bieren net zo smaakvol, avontuurlijk en bevredigend kunnen zijn als hun alcoholhoudende broertjes en zusjes.

We're ending this year's Delicious Year in Beer with a big bang, revealing the top ten craft breweries with the most number of five-star check-ins in 2023. Which breweries did you all rate the highest this year the most often?
We'll admit that these rankings may not blow your head off; they include some of the most iconic, influential breweries in the country. But we gotta give props to the places that continue to rate highly on Untappd year after year along with a couple of newcomers to these rankings this year.
Sierra Nevada's Trail Pass starts a new adventure in non-alcoholic brewing. After more than 5 years of development, and propelled by an innovative yeast strain, the iconic brewery believes Trail Pass IPA and Trail Pass Golden will turn heads.
"If a craft drinker is looking for that non-alc option, but still wants a complete beer experience, this is gonna do it for them," says James Conery, Innovation Brewmaster at Sierra Nevada.
Trail Pass uses traditional brewing methods, not alcohol removal, to create full and balanced craft flavor below the 0.5% ABV threshold. Explore the hoppy citrus and pine of Trail Pass IPA or the smooth and biscuity malt of Trail Pass Golden.
Sierra Nevada Trail Pass is currently available online, shipping to select states. Find it in stores nationwide beginning January 2024.
To earn this badge: Check in any one (1) of the following Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. beers between December 29, 2023 and February 11, 2024: Trail Pass IPA or Trail Pass Golden.
Do we all love lagers? Or are hops still royally supreme? Could malt-dominant beers tickle our taste buds? What styles do we rate the highest? We're about to find out. For our third post in our series of Untappd Year in Review for 2023, we're taking a look at the top ten styles based on their highest average ratings.
Check out what styles rated highest this past year.
10. Mead - Cyser
A style of mead made with honey and apple juice or cider, cyser kicks off in the tenth spot on this list with an average rating of 4.09 in 2023. We can't say that we've truly tried any apple meads, so we'll just leave it to our list of the top-rated versions to show you why this style has received some high rankings this year.
Our Untappd Year in Beer for 2023 is just getting started. Next, let's take a look at the top ten countries with the most check-ins outside of the U.S. But first, don't forget to check out the top ten craft breweries that made the most beers in 2023.
We're ranking this list a little differently this year. Instead of top cities or regions in the U.S., we took a look at breweries outside of the States that you checked in this past year. These check-ins can be anywhere in the world, but the breweries must be from outside of the U.S.
Because simply put, there are an incredible number of countries around the world with rich, robust, historic, and growing drinking and brewing cultures.
Where we can, we've included an Untappd list of the top breweries in each of these countries or travel guides from our friends at Hop Culture!
We're kicking off our Delicious Year in Beer coverage with a super fun stat! That's right, we calculated the breweries with the most beers created on Untappd in 2023.* We introduced this stat last year to much fanfare, so we're bringing it back. Because at the end of the day, Untappd would be nothing without you! (Literally, it would be "ntappd"). 🤣 But seriously, you are the most important part of our community, which is why we work so hard every year at the end of the year to bring you these incredible stats.
And ICYMI: Check out your personal Year in Beers stats here.
Can you guess which brewery lands at number one?
The answer may or may not surprise you, but some of the breweries in between will surely raise your eyebrows. Either way, the breweries below pulled some serious punches to crank out a whole heap of different beers in 2023.
On the first day of Year in Beer, my true beer lover sent to me, my top check-ins of 2023!
The most magical time of the year has only just begun. As the last days of 2023 slide off the calendar, Untappd engineers have been working harder than yeast in a barleywine to bring you all of the top stats from our beer-drinking, thirst-quenching, check-in-tapping Untappd community.
Which countries had the most check-ins outside the U.S.? Which breweries made the most beers? What are the highest-average-rated styles of 2023? And, of course, what breweries had the most 5-star check-ins of the year?
We answer all these over the next week right here during our annual 'Delicious' Year in Beer powered by Stone Brewing.
And if that's not enough, the gift that keeps on giving goes beyond just collective stats.
We also show you, the most important part of our Untappd community, stats on everything YOU drank this year.
Because without U, there would be no Untappd!
For us, this is like the milk and cookies, the extra treat we get to leave out for you at the end of the night: We personalize all these statistics just for you.
Are you curious to see your top beer, brewery, or beer style in 2023? And to compare your stats to the average Untappd user?
Did you know: Lagers are the most popular beer style worldwide?
Of course, that's due in large part to the popularity of macro lagers such as Bud Light, Miller Lite, Modelo, Coors, and Corona. But today, many craft brewers have been reclaiming this historic style.
Historically, lagers originated in Northern Europe, specifically in the area that we know today as Germany and Austria.
Fermented with a yeast strain that enjoys cooler temperatures and works at a slower pace, lagers are typically tricky beers to brew. This was especially true back in the day.
During the Middle Ages, brewers typically made these "bottom-fermenting" beers from September through May, when temperatures tended to be colder. Additionally, brewers stored lagers in cool environments like caves and cellars. In fact, "lager" in German actually translates to "storeroom" or "warehouse."
In America, we can thank a Bavarian brewer named John Wagner for bringing lagers across the pond. In 1840, Wagner arrived in America with a haul of lager yeast in his back pocket. Settling in Philadelphia, Wagner quickly realized that Americans had been drinking English-style ales for the last hundred and sixty or so years. More familiar with his own German-style lagers, Wagner took his precious cargo of yeast and brewed what is historically considered the nation's first lager beer.
And that's not the yeast of it. As a large population of German immigrants in Philadelphia immediately began drinking the style, the American people slowly caught on as well. By the late 1880s, lager had overtaken whiskey as America's favorite alcoholic beverage.
Today, we celebrate holidays like Lager Day… which is happening on Dec. 10th, 2023!
