The Untappd Community Awards are a worldwide celebration of the very best in craft beer, selected by the millions of Untappd user ratings received throughout the calendar year.

Countless breweries globally brew amazing beer, and we recognize (and have even heard from a few brewers through the years!) that we could do a better job of highlighting the best non-IPAs and barrel-aged stouts that don’t garner the eye-popping 4.0+ average ratings. While there are plenty of awards to go around for various IPA and Stout substyles, the Untappd Community Awards annually recognize the very best beers in all qualifying substyles.

The Untappd Community Awards recognizes the top three beers in all qualifying substyles across all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. as well as the 50 countries with the most check-ins from the calendar year. For example, for our first every Community Awards in 2024 (highlight rankings from 2023), over 1.5 million beers were rated, meaning fewer than 1.65% of beers (25,302 in total) won awards. Impressively, nearly 30% of brewers (7,427 total) produced an award winning beer!

We encourage you to take some time reviewing the top beers in your area and those that received awards for your favorite substyle. After you’re finished reviewing the Untappd Community Awards recipients, go visit the many great breweries that worked so hard to produce these amazing beverages and try them! And don’t forget to check them in!
