See how many Free Beer Movement scarves you can spot in this piece about the United States supporters group, the American Outlaws.
This was a segment during Fox Soccer's "Goals on Sunday" after the Liverpool-Manchester City match.
For those who have never seen FBM Founder Dan that's him wearing his other "hat", a Waldo one, for his other "job", helping run the Austin chapter of AO.

The Baltimore Bohemians will honor the 45th anniversary of the Baltimore Bays with “Throwback Night” on Saturday June 16 during their match against the Westchester Flames.
The Bohemians, one of the newest editions to the USL Premier Development League, will wear retro gold and red kits modeled after the Bays’ original uniforms. The club is offering $2 National Bohemian drafts for this special match. The Bays were owned by Jerold Hoffberger, president of the National Brewing Company – the same company that originally manufactured Baltimore’s beloved beer.
The match is being presented in conjunction with the Free Beer Movement, an organization that attempts to convert non-soccer fans to love the beautiful game, one beer at a time.
Baltimore native and former Bays defender Joe Speca will kick out the first ball. Speca was one of only three American-born players in the NPSL at its inception in 1967 and played two seasons with his hometown club in both the NPSL and NASL. In addition to starring for the Bays, Speca also spent time at Baltimore St. Gerard’s and Baltimore Pompei, with whom he reached the final of the U.S. Open Cup in 1957. Speca was also a member of the U.S. National Team, joining the team during the 1959 Pan-American Games and World Cup qualification matches in 1960, in addition to other friendly matches.
Tickets for the 7:00pm match are available at baltimorebohemians.com or by calling 443.980.BOHS.

The Free Beer Movement and friends took a stroll down the highway from Austin to Houston to help open (you're welcome!) Major League Soccer's newest soccer specific stadium. We were at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park so this was our second stadium christening in two year and proud to be apart of a fantastic moment that shows just how established soccer is becoming in the U.S.
Our first stop of the day was at Texas' oldest and largest craft brewery, Saint Arnold Brewing Co. They graciously threw their doors open for us before the day's tours to taste their beers and help with a super-top-secret project the FBM is working on (no... not a FBM beer....).
Before the game we were on a mission. Our friend Scott, owner of Freetail Brewing Company in San Antonio, is, like us, a craft beer crusader. So while we were hanging out with one of the Dynamo supporters groups, the Texian Army, we were on a mission to replace macro beers with quality craft brews.

Armed with six cases of the good stuff given to us by Saint Arnold we dumped out Millers, Buds, and Coors all over the stadium parking lots and slapped some pilsners, hefezweizens, ambers, and IPAs in their place.
Another satisfied FBM supporter!
We're not really the "newsie" type so FBM instead of the pressbox we like to take in the game where the action is... the supporters section!
