Throughout the month of April, beer enthusiasts across the state are invited to participate in Hop Into Spring by visiting NC breweries, attending events, purchasing merchandise, and most importantly, enjoying the delicious beer that the state has to offer. Spring has arrived in North Carolina, and the NC Craft Brewers Guild is kicking off the season with their Hop Into Spring event, a month-long celebration of all things NC beer.

Remind Me, What Are the 'Super Style' Badges? Quick reminder: These 'Super Style' badges are available ONLY TO UNTAPPD INSIDERS. So to kick off our first set of Insider 'Super Style' Badges of the year, we're starting with styles we see on the up-and-up-pilsners, American lagers, and witbiers.

Well, in their '9 Beer Trends to Watch in 2023,' our friends at Hop Culture predicted this could be the year of the Czech lager. The one question we hear most on January 1: Is this the year of the lager?
