Hazleton, PA – Chapter
(Chapter Status Granted on August 4, 2026)
🍻Welcome to Beer Drinkers of America – Hazleton, PA: The Power City Chapter
Built in the heart of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the Hazleton Chapter is bringing together people who appreciate cold beer, good company, and the community we call home!
We’re proud to represent an area with deep roots, hardworking people, and some serious beer history. We’re just down the road from Pottsville, home of Yuengling which is America’s oldest brewery, founded right here in Pennsylvania in 1829.
But this chapter is about more than what’s in your glass!
It’s about bringing people together, supporting the local bars, breweries, restaurants, and businesses that make our area what it is, and giving Beer Drinkers of America members a reason to get out, meet new people, and have a good time doing it.
Expect local meetups, events, member perks, brewery trips, collaborations, and plenty more as we get the Power City Chapter rolling.
