Hop Into Spring with the NC Craft Brewers Guild: Celebrate NC Pint Day and the Arrival of Springtime Brews!

April 01, 2024 - Spring has officially arrived in North Carolina, and what better way to welcome the season than by toasting with friends at your local NC brewery! Throughout the month of April, beer enthusiasts across the state are invited to partake in Hop Into Spring, a series of festivities celebrating North Carolina's lively craft beer scene.

Hop Into Spring, presented by Brightly Software, Lowes Foods, and Untappd, offers a diverse range of activities for craft beer aficionados to enjoy. Whether you're embarking on a brewery tour, attending special events, stocking up on brewery merchandise, or simply relishing in the flavors of locally crafted brews, there's something for everyone to savor.

Headlining the Hop Into Spring event line-up is NC Pint Day, slated for April 7th. On this special day, craft breweries, taprooms & stores around the state will sell limited edition glassware in support of the local craft beer community. For each NC Pint Day glass purchased, $1 will benefit the NC Craft Brewers Guild, furthering their mission to protect, promote, and prepare North Carolina’s independent craft breweries.  Start your collection with this year’s inaugural design, illustrated by Christen Lucas.

In addition to the festivities, Untappd is excited to announce a NEW badge for Hop Into Spring! Check-in your spring brews throughout the month of April at any North Carolina craft brewery and earn the exclusive Untappd badge. Join us in celebrating the flavors of the season by checking in with the hashtag #HopIntoSpring.

With over 400 craft breweries nestled across North Carolina, Hop Into Spring serves as your gateway to sampling fresh springtime brews, supporting local brewers and business owners, and reveling in the camaraderie of the season with friends and family. For those eager to join in the festivities, the Hop Into Spring webpage provides a comprehensive list of participating breweries and details on local events.
