International #IPADay

As you may have heard, August 4th will be the first official International #IPADay, a celebration of one of the most well know and respected beer styles out there. It's definitely one of our favorite styles here are Untappd and there's no way we can let such an event pass by without helping celebrate! We're proud to share with you a brand new badge to show your support of the India Pale Ale!

To unlock this special edition badge, just raise a pint of your favorite IPA and check-in on Thursday, August 4th!

Here's a bit more about this movement started by Ashley Routson (@TheBeerWench) and Ryan Ross (@RyanARoss):

International #IPADay is a grassroots movement created to unite the voices of craft beer enthusiasts, bloggers, and brewers worldwide, using social media as the common arena for connecting the conversation together.

On Thursday August 4th, craft beer drinkers across the social sphere and across the globe will raise pints in a collective toast to one of craft beer's most iconic styles: the India Pale Ale. This celebrated style represents the pinnacle of brewing innovation with its broad spectrum of diverse brands, subcategories, and regional flavor variations – making it the perfect style to galvanize the craft beer's social voice.

To participate, share your photos, videos, blog posts, tasting notes, recipes, thoughts with the world on Twitter Facebook, YouTube, WordPress, RateBeer, Foursquare, Gowalla, Yelp, Untappd or any other social media platforms you may use. Use the hastag #IPADay in all of your posts and then see what others are saying by searching the hashtag on google, twitter or other social media resources.
