New Badge: Wicked Weed Brewing Gold
Wicked Weed Brewing Gold Badge Inspired by the inclusive and artistic community of Asheville, NC, Wicked Weed Brewing was borne out of the desire to create. Initially specializing in West Coast IPAs and Belgian-style sour Ales, Wicked Weed’s portfolio has grown exponentially, offering an unheard-of variety of styles. Pernicious IPA, the flagship IPA, is dry-hopped with nearly twice the hops typical of this style. The combination of juicy, tropical fruit-forward hops with heavy resinous American hops is the epitome of a West Coast IPA, made in the Southeast. Perni-Haze, a hazy counterpart to Pernicious and one of Wicked Weed’s newest beers, is crushable with an effortless finish. Citra and Simcoe from their favorite hop fields drive this juicy IPA, currently available in North and South Carolina. Imperial Perni-Haze takes the hop experience to new heights. Despite its bite, this IPA maintains an irresistibly smooth and juicy finish. You’re about to experience IPA in a whole new imperial way. Ever-growing, Wicked Weed revels in the pursuit of innovation while maintaining a focus on quality. Badge Criteria: Check in all (3) of the following Wicked Weed beers: Pernicious IPA, Perni-Haze IPA, and Imperial Perni-Haze IPA from April 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026.
New Badge: Perni-Haze IPA 2026
Perni-Haze IPA 2026 Badge Perni-Haze was built with effortless drinkability in mind. At the heart of Perni-Haze are two of the most celebrated hops in craft brewing — Citra and Simcoe, sourced straight from our favorite hop fields. Citra brings the bright, tropical punch you crave: think ripe mango, passion fruit, and a squeeze of fresh lime. Simcoe adds depth and a piney, resinous backbone that grounds the beer and gives it just enough complexity to keep things interesting. Together, they create a hop profile that is unmistakably juicy, endlessly aromatic, and impossible to put down. Once you’ve experienced Perni-Haze, you’ll never look at a hazy IPA the same way again.
