- Online connection through our 250+ member Discord
We’re building a community-driven association where every member has a say in the events and activities that matter to them.

Whether online or in person, BDOA is your invitation to a nationwide community built for friendship, camaraderie, and — of course — great beer.
Our Story
Beer Drinkers of America started in Salem, Oregon on July 24, 2024. What began as a conversation between friends about the lack of fun drinking options in our hometown quickly grew into a community. We wanted a place where beer lovers could meet, compete, and celebrate together — no matter where they live.
Cheers,

Ps. I started BDOA because I know how frustrating it can be to want to enjoy a beer and have a good time – but feel like there aren’t enough ways to do it. I wanted to create a place where people like you could come together for camaraderie and fellowship.
I know what it’s like to feel limited by a few bars and not much to do in any of them (though I do love Magoos in Salem OR., they have free popcorn!). That’s why I started brainstorming with my brother (#002) and buddy (#003) on ideas for fun things you could do with a beer, something more than the usual night out.
I want BDOA to stay true to that spirit — a community built for its members, by its members. If you have ideas for events, competitions, or ways to connect, I want to hear from you. Reach out on Instagram or by email. Together we can make sure everyone has a seat at the bar.
