Untappd Community Awards statistics show a large, community-driven view of beer quality. The awards program reports 7,245 producers, 26,598 recognized drinks, 304 recognized drink styles, and participation spanning 100 countries worldwide. The 2025 awards release also reports nearly 11 million beer lovers powering that year’s results, while the awards home page describes more than 12 million community voices behind the program. These figures describe the program’s published scope; they are not a single, uniform measurement taken on one date.

At a glance
The Untappd Community Awards home page gives the broadest program-level snapshot. It lists 7,245 producers awarded and 26,598 drinks recognized. The same page lists 304 drink styles recognized and says that 100 countries worldwide are included in the awards program. It also describes more than 12 million Untappd community voices behind the awards.
The home page further says that the program recognizes the top three drinks across all 50 U.S. states and in Washington, D.C. Its geographic description also refers to the 100 countries with the most check-ins. That is a description of awards coverage, not a claim that every country has the same number of qualifying beers or ratings.
The 2025 Untappd Community Awards press release uses a more specific cycle-based figure: nearly 11 million beer lovers powered the 2025 awards. It reports 25,462 award-winning beers and 7,033 breweries represented among those beers. Within the United States, 3,444 breweries brewed a beer that won at least one 2025 Community Award.
| Published measure | Figure | Period or scope |
|---|---|---|
| Producers awarded | 7,245 | Untappd Community Awards home page |
| Drinks recognized | 26,598 | Untappd Community Awards home page |
| Drink styles recognized | 304 | Untappd Community Awards home page |
| Countries in program | 100 | Untappd Community Awards home page |
| Community voices | 12+ million | Untappd Community Awards home page |
| Beer lovers powering awards | Nearly 11 million | 2025 awards |
| Award-winning beers | 25,462 | 2025 awards |
| Breweries represented | 7,033 | 2025 awards |
These numbers should be read as related but distinct measures. “Producers,” “drinks,” and “styles” describe the published awards inventory. “Beer lovers” and “community voices” describe the audience or participation behind the program. The 2025 release’s nearly 11 million figure is tied to the 2025 cycle, whereas the home page’s 12+ million wording is presented as an overall program description.
How broad is the awards program?
The awards reach is both geographic and categorical. Geographically, the Untappd Community Awards home page identifies 100 countries worldwide and all 50 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C. for top-three recognition. The 2025 press release says the inaugural 2024 Community Awards cycle included 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and 50 countries worldwide.
The country counts therefore need a date and cycle attached. The 50-country figure belongs to the inaugural 2024 cycle cited in the 2025 press release. The 100-country figure belongs to the awards program’s home-page description. They are not interchangeable totals, and the published material does not provide a time-series explanation for the difference.
The category coverage also changed in the published descriptions. The 2025 press release says 268 beer substyles were covered in the inaugural awards context. The awards home page lists 304 drink styles recognized. “Substyles” and “drink styles” are retained as the source labels use them; the figures should not be treated as a directly calculated increase.
For beer and home-brewing readers, this breadth matters because an awards result is anchored to a style and a geography. A high score in a state-level listing is not simply a universal league position. It is part of a particular awards presentation, measured for a named year and place.
What changed between the inaugural and 2025 cycles?
The 2025 Untappd Community Awards press release reports 25,462 award-winning beers for 2025. The same release reports 7,033 represented breweries and 3,444 U.S. breweries that brewed a beer winning at least one 2025 Community Award.
For the inaugural 2024 cycle, the release reports 25,302 beers won awards and nearly 7,500 breweries were represented. It also records 50 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and 50 countries worldwide in that inaugural cycle.
The release says more than 1.5 million beers were rated in the inaugural awards dataset, and fewer than 1.65% of rated beers won awards. That percentage is a published threshold-style summary, not a percentage to recompute from rounded “over 1.5 million” wording. The figures establish that winning was a small subset of the rated-beer pool in that cycle.
The two cycle snapshots can be read together without assuming that every measure is comparable. The 2024 release context includes 25,302 winning beers and nearly 7,500 represented breweries. The 2025 cycle includes 25,462 winning beers and 7,033 represented breweries. The source does not provide an explanation for why the brewery totals use different wording or how the award inventory was counted, so no growth rate is asserted here.
How did beers qualify?
The 2025 Untappd Community Awards press release reports that beers needed at least 50 ratings from unique Untappd users to qualify. This is a participation rule: a beer needed a minimum number of ratings, and those ratings had to come from unique users.
The same release says each qualifying substyle needed at least three beers in the geography to produce awards. That rule connects the category and location to the award process. A substyle with fewer than three qualifying beers in a geography could not produce awards under the stated condition.
These rules help explain why the published results should not be treated as a simple list of every beer on Untappd. The awards dataset had a minimum rating requirement, and the substyle-level geographic requirement set another condition. The source also says that fewer than 1.65% of more than 1.5 million rated beers won awards in the inaugural cycle.
For home brewers, the practical reading is narrow and useful: the reported scores represent beers that cleared stated participation conditions. They are not a claim that unrated or lightly rated beers were inferior. The source provides qualification rules, but it does not provide a full account of every beer excluded by each rule.
Colorado and Connecticut scores
The 2024 Untappd Community Awards Colorado page lists Medianoche Nieve at 4.65, Medianoche Reserve (2024) at 4.55, and Cuvee De Coconut Medianoche at 4.55. It lists Western Justice (2024) at 4.53, 9505 (Batch 3) at 4.52, and Mostra Starry Noche at 4.52. It also lists It Takes A Village at 4.51, Phantom Sense at 4.51, and Double Barrel Aged God Complex 2023 at 4.50. Every score in this paragraph is for 2024 in Colorado.
The 2024 Untappd Community Awards Connecticut page lists Lumber Reserve – Barrel 106 at 4.65 and Schmucker Up Fluffables (Blackberry, Strawberry, Grape) at 4.64. Lumber Reserve – Barrel 110 scored 4.58. Barrel-aged Maris 2yr Weller (Green) scored 4.55, while Beyond the Barrel (White Wax) and Copestone (2024) each scored 4.54.
The Connecticut page also lists Schmucker Up Fluffables (Wildberry Grape) at 4.52, Barrel-aged Maris 2yr Elijah Craig (Orange) at 4.51, and Fluffberry Forest at 4.51. These are state-page scores for 2024, not an all-time Untappd rating claim.
The two state pages share a visible top score of 4.65: Medianoche Nieve in Colorado and Lumber Reserve – Barrel 106 in Connecticut. That matching value does not establish that the beers tied in a single statewide ranking, because the source material presents separate state pages and does not supply a combined comparison methodology.
Florida scores
The 2024 Untappd Community Awards Florida page lists higher published scores among the supplied state results. Vanilla BA Double Coconut DPV scored 4.85, For Vez scored 4.80, and Sauternes BA DPV Pie scored 4.78 in 2024 in Florida.
The same page lists Proper Black – Maple Bourbon Barrel Aged at 4.76 and Fragarian Embers at 4.76. Member Pick: BA Stout scored 4.73, Pool Party scored 4.72, and Prodigious (2024) scored 4.70. Family Select scored 4.68, while Peach Blossom scored 4.52. All of these measurements are identified as 2024 Florida scores by the source label.
| State page | Highest supplied score | Beer |
|---|---|---|
| Colorado, 2024 | 4.65 | Medianoche Nieve |
| Connecticut, 2024 | 4.65 | Lumber Reserve – Barrel 106 |
| Florida, 2024 | 4.85 | Vanilla BA Double Coconut DPV |
| Arkansas, 2024 | 4.52 | Peach Blossom |
This compact comparison keeps the geography explicit. It does not turn the four page-specific figures into a universal ranking, because the supplied source labels provide state pages rather than a common cross-state table.
What the state statistics show
The supplied 2024 state pages contain a spread of scores from 4.50 to 4.85. Colorado’s listed scores run from 4.50 for Double Barrel Aged God Complex 2023 to 4.65 for Medianoche Nieve. Connecticut’s listed scores run from 4.51 for Barrel-aged Maris 2yr Elijah Craig (Orange) and Fluffberry Forest to 4.65 for Lumber Reserve – Barrel 106.
Florida’s listed scores run from 4.52 for Peach Blossom to 4.85 for Vanilla BA Double Coconut DPV. The supplied Arkansas page has one quantified entry: Peach Blossom scored 4.52 in 2024 in Arkansas. Because only one Arkansas result is supplied here, it should not be described as that state’s highest or lowest score.
The names also show why exact product labels matter in beer statistics. The listings distinguish barrel treatments, batches, vintages, flavor variants, and parenthetical release names. “Lumber Reserve – Barrel 106” and “Lumber Reserve – Barrel 110” are separate listed beers. Likewise, the two Schmucker Up Fluffables entries carry different fruit descriptors and different scores: 4.64 for Blackberry, Strawberry, Grape, and 4.52 for Wildberry Grape.
Taken together, the program-level and state-level figures describe two scales of Untappd statistics. The awards home page and 2025 press release quantify reach, participation, styles, producers, breweries, and eligibility. The 2024 state pages show the score values attached to individual beers in specific geographies. Keeping those scales and measurement periods separate is essential when using Untappd awards data to understand beer styles, brewery visibility, or the results a home brewer might want to study.
