April is North Carolina Beer Month, but we're getting started early. Beginning March 1, you can unlock one of two badges honoring this month-long celebration of all things beer in the Tar Heel State. In it's fifth year, NC Beer Month praises nearly 200 breweries — from the mountains to the coast — ranging from veteran, award-winning brewhouses to newcomers on the scene eager to make a name for their batches.

Get your NC party started early and you can unlock the all new "NC Beer Month is Coming! (2017)". Check in to one beer from a North Carolina based brewery listed below between March 1 - 31 and it's yours.

When April rolls around and NC Beer Month officially kicks off, be sure to get our second celebratory badge. Check in to one more beer from a North Carolina brewery listed below between April 1 - 30 and unlock the "NC Beer Month - April (2017)".

UPDATE: The list of breweries is here.
