Why Join BDOA Instead of Just Going to a Bar?
A bar gives you a place to drink.
Beer Drinkers of America gives you a community to belong to.
BDOA gives beer a bigger purpose: people to meet, events to join, competitions to enter, Chapters to build, and a nationwide community to represent.
When you become a member, you are not just buying a card. You are joining an organized beer community with members across the country who gather, compete, connect, and help build something real.
Drinking is never required. BDOA is about community, activities, and bringing beer drinkers together in a fun, official way.

So happy to finally belong to something worthwhile
First beer with the card!
Enjoying a local concert with one of my favorite bands, my wife and a local beer from my favorite brewery. Looking forward to my first virtual meetup with my local chapter this weekend!
Love the idea of coming together in enjoyment of a common activity.
