New for 2020, simply check in to any beer from a member of the USA’s Brewers Association between 17 and 29 November to earn this badge.

Your check in will also count towards the Cheers to Independent U.S. craft breweries badge as they’re both sponsored by the Association. A list of members can be found here.

Breweries are the essential element that makes the craft beer scene as vibrant as it is, so go out and support your favourite American brewer.

This sponsored badge was originally avaliable for 12 months from 20 September 2018 until the 20 September 2019. It has since been extended until 2021.

Paid for by the U.S. Brewers Association, check into a beer made by an independent American brewery to get it. 5 check ins gets you to level two, and then you level up every 5 after that, upto level 100.

The badge promotes the Association’s independent craft brewer seal, which was launched in 2017. This is avaliable to brewers who brew less than 6 million barrels a year and have no more than 25% of their brewery owned by a large, none craft company. To date over 4000 brewers display the seal, so there are plenty of beers to choose from for this badge.

Visit the Brewers Association’s site for a full list of breweries that qualify as independent.
