Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday by helping Beer Drinkers of America collect 250 unique beers from across the United States.

Help us collect 250 unique beers from BDOA members across the United States to create one incredible commemorative poster celebrating America’s 250th birthday.

Every approved submission will become part of the official 250 Beers for 250 Years collection and will be featured on our final commemorative poster.

Whether your favorite beer is a local craft brew or a national classic, we want to see what you’re representing.

For the best results:

  • Hold the beer and membership card at about chest height.
  • Face the camera.
  • Use portrait (vertical) orientation.
  • Make sure your face, beer label, and membership card are easy to see.
  • Use good lighting.
  • Submit a high-quality photo.

Beer Eligibility

Each specific beer may only appear once in the collection.

Examples:

✅ PBR

✅ Coors Banquet

✅ Modelo Especial

These are all different beers and may each be submitted.

However, once a specific beer has been approved, it cannot be submitted again.

The first approved submission for each beer will secure that beer’s place in the collection.


Already Collected

Check back throughout July to see which beers have already been approved.

This list will be updated regularly as new submissions are accepted.

(Beer list coming soon.)


The Final Poster

Once we reach 250 unique beers, every approved submission will be combined into one commemorative poster celebrating:

250 Years. 250 Beers. One Nation.

The finished poster will feature BDOA members from across the country and will become a permanent piece of Beer Drinkers of America history.

Printed posters will be available for purchase.


Prize

Every approved participant earns a place on the official 250 Beers for 250 Years commemorative poster.

In addition, one approved participant will be randomly selected to receive a free printed commemorative poster.
