Summer Vibes Start this April. Here’s Who’s Celebrating with You.
April 20th has always been its own kind of holiday. This year, five of the most interesting names in THC beverages are making it the official start of Summer Vibes season – and Untappd is giving you a badge to prove you helped us celebrate! Starting April 1, check in any THC or cannabis-infused beverage on Untappd to earn the Summer Vibes badge. It runs all month, but 4/20 is the day to do it. Here’s who’s making it worth your while. Cheech & Chong have been pioneering cannabis culture for three generations, long before it was safe to do. Their lineup is the most complete out there: full-flavored sodas, low-calorie seltzers, precision-dosed gummies, premium hemp flower, high-potency shots, and more. Every order ships to your door and comes with a lifetime money-back guarantee – no questions asked. For good reason, these are the OGs. Collective Project is on a mission to change what a THC beverage can be. Their award-winning 10mg sparkling juices are bold, juicy, and built for the moments that call for something more. Their 5mg sparkling lemonades – Raspberry Lemonade, Cherry Limeade, and Classic Lemonade – are bright, sessionable, and easy to reach for. Every can is a collaboration with artists from around the world, because creativity and cannabis belong together. Cümulo comes from the brewers at Resident Culture in Charlotte, NC, and it shows. Each can pairs a thoughtful dose of THC and CBD with L-theanine – an amino acid that supports calm and mental clarity. No alcohol, no added sugar, under 15 calories. Fruit-forward, sparkling, and built to keep you present in the moment rather than check you out of it. Hectare’s is named after a unit of land and built around one idea: the quality of what goes in determines everything about what comes out. Water-soluble cannabis emulsion means consistent dosing and real, clean flavor across their full lineup of sodas, seltzers, and shots. Stone Fruit Soda, Dragonfruit Seltzer, Watermelon Cucumber Mint – these taste like something. Rizzy is a craft THC lemonade tea made with organic lemons, smooth black tea, and just enough natural sweetness to get it right. Three doses give you options: Rizzy Light (5mg THC + 10mg CBD) for a calm, easygoing vibe, Rizzy Original (10mg) for balanced uplift, and Rizzy Extra (25mg) when the moment calls for it. Built for backyard hangs, beach afternoons, and the long stretch of warm days ahead. Five brands, one badge, and the whole month of April to find your new favorite vibe. Ready to take it further?

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.

Pernicious IPA, the flagship IPA, is dry-hopped with nearly twice the hops typical of this style.

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.
