THE BEER LEAGUES

There aren’t many pairings as great as beer and bowling. Folks who worked at breweries felt the same way, too. By the early 20th century, beer companies around the country sponsored men’s and women’s teams to compete in bowling tournaments while donning their logos. The movement promoted beer brands and fostered camaraderie among participants, many of whom became United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Hall of Famers. Plus, an endless supply of cold beers on the lanes didn’t hurt! Learn more about some of the most prominent American beer leagues of the past century.
