BeerTime

Twitch Emote - Meaning & Origin

What does BeerTime mean?

The BeerTime emote depicts a pixelated blue beer mug or stein. It represents celebration, relaxation, and enjoyment in Twitch chat. This emote is commonly used to signal that it's time to kick back and enjoy a drink, whether literally or metaphorically.

Origin

BeerTime was created and uploaded to BetterTTV (BTTV) by a user named vicneeel on July 17, 2019. Unlike official Twitch emotes, BeerTime is a third-party emote available through the BetterTTV browser extension, which is popular among Twitch users for expanding their emote libraries. The emote features a simple, pixelated design of a blue beer mug that's easily recognizable even at small sizes.

When to use BeerTime

BeerTime is typically used in the following contexts:

To celebrate a win, achievement, or milestone during a stream
When a streamer announces they're taking a break or ending their stream
As a virtual 'cheers' or toast among chat participants
When a streamer or chat mentions drinking or relaxing
During laid-back or social moments in a stream
As a Channel Point redemption reward or special subscriber emote on some channels

Note that since BeerTime is a BTTV emote, both the streamer and viewers need to have the BTTV extension installed to see it in chat.
