It's time to be a beer patriot. To seek out the taste of independence. More than 3800 breweries throughout the United State have adopted the Brewers Association's Independent Craft Seal. It's your mission to seek out the seal - shaped like an upside-down beer bottle - and support these small and independent American craft brewers.

Complete your mission and you will be rewarded not only with truly delicious craft beer, but with an all new badge. Check-in any beer from a brewery displaying the Independent Craft Seal (a list of participating breweries can be found here) and you'll unlock "Cheers to Independent U.S. Craft Breweries". You can earn up to Level 100, so be sure to continue to seek the seal. To earn Level 1, you must check-in to 1 qualifying beer, and then every other level is 5 different beers. For example, Level 2 is 5 different beers, and Level 3 is 10 different beers, and so on.
