There are more than 3,400 small, independent craft breweries in the United States with many more popping up each month. This astonishing growth has lead to the creation of beer weeks across the nation, giving beer fans increasing opportunities to discover, enjoy and share their local beer scene. Each May, the Brewers Association, celebrates the culmination of these events with American Craft Beer Week, a national initiative to bring attention to the unique flavors and achievements being made in America's beer scene. ACBW, which takes place May 11th - 17th, isn't just about celebrating beer, but also about education - helping to spread the word of the amazing craft breweries across the county.

The Brewers Association has partnered with us to bring back a brand new badge for this year's festivities. To unlock the "American Craft Beer Week (2015) badge, check-in to any beer from an independent American craft brewery during ACBW (May 11 - 17). Show your support of craft beer across the United State by raising a pint in celebration!
