American Craft Beer Week (2017)

With a six percent increase in volume from independent craft brewers in 2016, craft beer in the United Sates continues to solidify itself. With over 5,300 breweries through out the country (99% of which are independent), there is definitely no shortage of amazing beer. Every May, the Brewers Association celebrates this continued growth with American Craft Beer Week® (ACBW). This national initiative aims to bring attention to the unique flavors and achievements being made in America's beer scene.

We've once again teamed up with the Brewers Association to bring you a brand new badge. To unlock the "American Craft Beer Week (2017)" badge, check-in to any beer from an independent American craft brewery during ACBW, which takes place May 15th - 21st. Show your support of craft beer across the United States by raising a pint in celebration!
