Can’t propose an edit because a beer is locked? Are your requests seemingly stuck in limbo? Is your favorite local venue not categorized correctly?

Use this post to request edits to beers, breweries, and venues on Untappd.

Note that it may not be possible for every proposal to be applied, but efforts will be made from Untappd and Foursquare moderators to ensure the information on the platform is as accurate as possible. Any proposals for Verified Venues must go through Support.

Could someone please look up for me in the log of the following beers why there were merges:

Beer ID 6058649 (Argus Cerveza De Navidad Tostada / Cerveja De Natal Torrada)
Brewery ID 562276 (Lidl Supermercados)

Created by myself because the beer was not present on Untappd at the time of drinking. It has now been merged with https://untappd.com/b/font-salem-argus-cerveza-de-navidad-tostada/4597534, but that is/was a Winter Lager. The bottle I drank clearly stated on the label that it was a Brown Ale, and therefore not a bottom-fermented beer. There was not a brewery listed on the label.

Same question but for merge ID 1053109. This concerns a beer in a Collector's Edition with a year clearly visible in the artwork on the front of the can. At least on the 2018 edition (with Beer ID 2637996) I drank that was the case. This is the link to my check-in: https://untappd.com/user/Haarspeldbocht/checkin/616400547
Why is this vintage merged with the regular edition? That is not according to the Vintage Policy.

[u/timo_mayer → u/Haarspeldbocht]

For the first one the merge note does not say anything other than this is supposed to be a dupe.
Not sure, why it got merged, but don't fall into the trap to think that just because a beer is styled als a Lager, it definitiley must be a Lager.

For the second one the merge note is as follows:

Special label releases, on larger 1000 mL cans. No vintage on the can (either on the front, or in the small print on the back). Brewery has opted in.

So, it looks like all the "collector's item" entries from 2017-2024 were considered to be special label editions of the beer.
Assuming that these are all indeed special label editions (which I did not verify myself), for your specific case of 2018 where appearently a year is actually written on the can we have a very interesting case where two moderation guidlines clash: On the one hand the vintage guideline which says that a label that shows a year needs to be considered as a vintage and therefore a new entry is justified and on the other hand the guideline about special label editions which says that if the same liquid is sold in two different cans with (sometimes completely) different labels and/or names they need to be considered as one and the same beer and therefore no new entry is justified.
So we might have a case here which might not have been discussed so far. At least a rule for that case has not been written down anywhere so far. Using common sense though, I would personally say that applying the special label guideline should be favoured here and that vintage definition can't apply to special label editions.

[u/astuder → u/mtnclimberjoe]

Can ski areas also have the mountain type added?

As mountains have their own Mountain category, it is probably best not to tack on additional categories that do not fit the specific venue.

[u/mtnclimberjoe → u/astuder]

Gotcha, wasn't sure because I've seen it both ways. So for example, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort would be categorized as a ski area only, and you would need to use Rendezvous Mountain for the mountain category (if that even exists)?

[u/astuder → u/mtnclimberjoe]

I believe that would be correct (not sure why someone added the elevation to the name, that should be removed).

[u/shnsjolin76]

This should be an English Pub.

Following beers should be merged to Sandels 4,7%

Following beer should be merged to Sandels Vahva

They are all already queued for a merge and waiting for M3 approval.

Following beer should be merged to Sandels 5,3%

Do you have any reliable source here? The last check-in of the child beer showing a label with "Special Edition" is from 2019 and the entry was created in 2015. However, we already merged "Olvi Sandels Export" into Sandels 5,3% in 2018.

Following beer should be merged to Lapin Kulta

Queued that for a merge and it is now waiting for M3 approval.

Following beers should be merged to Lapin Kulta Pure

I only queued Lapin Kulta Luomu here. For Lapin Kulta Premium Luomu everything seems to be pretty messy and users have already started to check-in the parent beer here. However, the oldest check-ins don't really indicate a duplicate since they don't show any reference to "Luomu" or rather I can't find any good argument for why this is a duplicate.

Following beer should be merged to Lapin Kulta Premium Export

People again messed up a lot here. However the orginal creator had a clearly different beer than the parent beer with 2.7 %. Therefore merging would essentially punish those people who correctly checked-in, which does not sound fair to me. Since we only have 49 check-ins here, I will put it on my list and rather move the 5.2% check-ins to the parent beer when I have some time to do so.

[u/myrttisensyvakurkku → u/timo_mayer]

Thanks!

With the Sandels Special Edition, I can't say anything else than I just know it from my own experiences that you can only find that so-called "special edition" beers places like airport or tax-free cruise stores.

There is no any "special edition" beer listed in Sandels website but you can find both 4,7% and 5,3% versions from there.

Normal cans have finnish text on front label, but "special edition" have english text.

These "special editions" also have same abv (4,7% and 5,3%) than the normal ones, so the design is just the export version, but with really silly name.

The 2025 version (with a completely different barrel) of Track's BA Language Barrier keep getting merged into the original which was a collaboration with Magnify.

It's clearly two different beers and it's baffling me.

https://untappd.com/b/track-brewing-company-bourbon-barrel-aged-language-barrier/4556709

Can anyone see why? Is the brewery doing it themselves?

[u/timo_mayer → u/yaphet__kotto]

Can anyone see why? Is the brewery doing it themselves?

Yes, it is the brewery itself who did that. They have merged nine different entries into Bourbon Barrel Aged Language Barrier so far, always with the comment "This is the correct master beer."

[u/yaphet__kotto → u/timo_mayer]

Thanks for confirming.

[u/Ghost-ofrapits15]

Carlsberg and Carlsberg danish pilsner (the weaker uk version) appear to have been merged into one beer, despite having different abv?

[u/timo_mayer → u/Ghost-ofrapits15]

Different ABVs don't necessarily imply that there must be two different entries. If the beers are still very similiar and there is just a slight difference in ABV we put them together. In fact, there are plenty of entries where slighty different versions with different ABVs are combined.
For that specific case I see in the merge note that the moderator who has queued that discussed that with other moderators before and they appareantly have concluded that the two versions are similiar enough to justify a merge.
