Why Join BDOA Instead of Just Going to a Bar?
A bar gives you a place to hang out. BDOA gives you a national club to belong to.
BDOA is built around community, Chapters, competitions, events, and beer culture. Drinking is never required.
You can meet beer drinkers anywhere. Beer Drinkers of America is for people who want more than another night out.
Membership gives you an official place in a national beer community built around Chapters, events, challenges, competitions, rankings, and traditions.
When you join, you are not just buying a card. You are joining an organized club of beer drinkers across the country who compete, gather, represent their city or state, and help build something bigger.

BEER IS GOOD! BEER IS GOOD! BEER IS GOOD! And stuff. BEER IS GOOD! BEER IS GOOD! BEER IS GOOD! Let’s go drink some BEEEEEER!!!
I was a little skeptical of BDOA in the beginning. A cool idea, but what if it’s just a magnet for frat boys? Lucky for my social life, I’m willing to be proven wrong. I’ve attended several BDOA events including the turkey leg, Uno tournament, bowling, and Mario Kart tournament. Importantly, as a woman, I’ve felt safe and included in these competitions, and had a blast every time. A lot of the events have been family friendly which has made it even easier for me to attend, and my 8 year old has had a lot of fun too. BDOA is about community and camaraderie with a little friendly hijinks sprinkled on top. I even got a discount during events at the brewery for being a member! Thank you, Hayden, for establishing such a welcoming organization and hosting such kick ass events! Looking forward to the next one 🙂
I originally thought my card was a gag gift and that this was a funny made up thing. I quickly learned it was a legit thing with tons of like minded people with one thing in common, the love for BEER! If you or someone you’re close with love cracking cold ones, sign up and join the thousands of other members! You never know when you’ll meet another BDOA member!
Cheers!

If you’re seeing this and considering spending the cash on this card. It is 100% worth it! It’s such a fun membership. A buddy of mine showed me his card the day of my wedding and I didn’t even hesitate and bought it that moment. It’s worth joining the BDOA! There’s plenty to do once you’re in to!
As Tom T. Hall put it in 1975, I Like Beer. This community is founded on those three words. Words that have been said for thousands of years all across the world. BDoA is a community filled with great people and great drink. So “roll out the barrel and lend me your ears.” Join BDoA.
