What We're About

Like Soccer? Enjoy Beer? Have Friends? Do they enjoy beer? Do they like soccer?

If you answered "yes" to the first four questions, but "no" to the last one, then this is the site for you!

Welcome to the Free Beer Movement where we are promoting one simple idea:

Invite your friends to see a soccer match and buy them a beer.



Like any good introduction, the 5 W's and 1 H are necessary for the basic information of the Movement.

The Basics

Who? Anyone that, as of now, has a passing interest in soccer, and is willing to attend a match.

What? Take them to the stadium, invite them to a soccer bar or into your home for a game on TV, or, in a pinch, down to the local fields.

Where? Doesn't matter.

When? As soon as possible.

Why? Because the success of soccer in the United States depends on a larger and more supportive network of fans that attend games, watch them on TV, and spread their love and knowledge of the game to others.

How? Most everyone that likes beer likes free beer even more. Combine that love of free beer with an open mind towards the beautiful game of soccer and maybe, just maybe, win over a few converts.

History of the Free Beer Movement

The Brief, but Glorious History of the FBM

ca. 2005 - "We Call It Soccer" blogger Joe Stange unites his two loves, beer and soccer, in proposing the FBM. A simple idea that, he states, "predates the market economy."

March 2006 - DCenters, a DC United blog, organizes a FBM-sponsored "Operation: Deflower"

March 2007 - DCenters attempts to organize another round of "Operation: Deflower" with unknown success.

June 2007 - Miama FC offers free Miller Lite (and noise sticks) to all 21 and older in attendence of their two United Soccer League matches over the weekend. Miller Lite cheerleaders were also in attendance.

August 2007 - Minneapolis CityPages blogger Paul Demko sponsors "FBM" night for a Minnesota Thunder game at James Griffin Stadium.

ca. 2007 - Stange moves to Europe, leaving the Movement rudderless.

July 2009 - Bloggers Dan Wiersema and Nick Sindt revive the FBM.

Join The Movement!

Interested in joining the "Movement"? The FBM is semi-autonomous (remember it's an idea... no one can own that) and therefore requires effort on the part of each Movement member. Want to organize a FBM event? Go for it! Invite those susceptible to the influence of the "Beautiful Game" and buy them a beer.

Also, don't forget and try to link up with other members in your area!

However you decide to embrace the movement we'd like to hear from you and count you (and your converts) as members. Please sign up, become a "fan" on Facebook, or "follow us" on Twitter.
