Playing Drinking Games With Craft Beer

You should have made a B double E double R U N.

 

I've played games of beirut with Chimay triple

 

Under the circumstances, I would have hid the Founders and been okay with gambling away the rest. But that's just me.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong...but if you lead your team to victory, that means the other team got to drink the majority of your good and more expensive beer. If this is so...sounds like they were the victors.

 

you havent lived till youve funneled a 120 through a voovoozella and thought it was keg beer...damn roommate

 

I once did a power hour with all craft beer. I think it was the bottle of Zhukov thrown in there that almost killed us. Everything else was under 9%, and there wasn't anything spectacular or rare in there. I think there was some Chimay, DFH 60 minute, a few Left Hand's and Flying Dogs. Along with the Zhukov there was something else that I don't remember (surprise) that was pretty stellar.

 

At that point I'd be mostly concerned about losing my ability to aim. I am no good at Beirut once I've had a few.

But I mean what the hell. You saved the day, good beers were consumed, and nobody had to drive under the influence. One does what one must.

 

You haven't lived until you've taken a shot of Everclear when you thought it was a shot of Vodka! Asshole roommate...

Yes, I survived.

 

I drank my fair share of it but never straight thank god.

 

In the heat of the moment (and assuming a fair amount of inebriation)...YEAH I would've done it just to keep the party going but I'm SURE I would've woken up kicking myself the next day (or the day after depending on how hung over I was). Those f***ers would owe me, though!

 

Hell yeah, I had a few too many after a wedding and had no problem with friends drinking my last aged Olde School and my last 3 Hopslams. Question is would you have done it sober? Hell nah, and neither would have I. But expanding their horizons seemed like a great idea then!

 

Beers from the beer cooler are off limits during drinking games, only regular fridge beers.

 

While all very good beers, there is nothing rare there and they are all good beers to share with friends.

I am concerned about your classification of friends.
How many tiers are there?
How does one move from Tier 2 or 3 to tier 1.
Do you let them know what Tier they are on?

 

...who indeed?

 

Would have risked a DUI before I did something that stupid.

 

We have a social/drinking group of sorts for our grad department where I'm at, that culminates in a champion each semester based on points accrued throughout the semester (based on various things, many drinking related). I recently won the championship in a final showdown using Hopslam as the beer for 1v1 flip cup. It tasted as good as ever and I don't regret it at all.

 

The only beer that should be used for drinking games is Narragansett.

 

You haven't lived until you had someone with bandolier shots. Some filled with water. Some filled with shitty vodka. Some filled with Everclear. All were mixed up and thrown at you at random. You never knew what you were about to drink...
That next day we also made our own drink called a "Falcon Punch" involving an empty (clean) gas can, fruit punch, various alcohol, and flaming shots. I don't remember much of that weekend.


To be more on topic - I would NEVER share any beer that was above the quality of like...Yuengling. I'm too broke to put that stuff towards drinking games. Maybe when I'm making a decent salary and my friends start sharing their stuff with me...? Ain't nobody got the money for that.

Truthfully I would have just had people have their own drinks and would have played with water.

 

It's your beer. I would think you could pretty much do anything you wanted with it.

 

Can't say I've ever done that, tend to stock up on the booze. Did play jack and coke pong a couple months ago. That was fun. I play with craft a lot but with water in the cups. I'm a big fan of chugging Two Hearted on the side. Before I was 21, never played with water but older and wiser (just gotta have an honor system and actually drink your beer...)

 

Keeping it classy...

 

What the hell are you using the founders for? For beer pong. SMH

 

Hilarious! I have emptied my fridge before just to have a good time. I guess if the fun is worth the stash of good beer then play on! However, i like to share those kind of beers with my friends when they are sober enough to enjoy it and most importantly remember it. Anyhow, life is too short to worry about what we did yesterday! I would have loved to be on the losing end of that game though.....lol

 

Teir 4 doesn't sound like friends. It sounds like people whose name you happen to know.

 

i keep poverty beer in my fridge for friends who don't give a shit. i'm not wasting good stuff on them

 

I once played king's cup with only winter brews, (and the occasional shot of tequila) so no judgement.

 

Im only 32, but feel too old for beer games. I would of woke up mad/depressed/sad, and then angry. Hell no. A buddy of mine has a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle he got for his graduation and after a few friends came over, he offered shots. The thought of it makes me shake my head, especially since I would probably do the same thing.

 

hahahaha.........NERD, NERD, NERD, NERD!!! get the F outta here. shit aint even expensive or hard to find.

Like my patnas from Memphis say:
These bitches ain't runnin, shit but yall mouth
cause the first hater step, the first hater get tossed out

so u played some pong with some founders, stone and rochefort?? its beer. thats what its for. more importantly.....sure hope u had some ladies up that mix.

now, if u said u played with some bourbon county rare? shit....just plain stupid.

 

Why would you play a drinking game without craft?

 

Come back when you are old enough to drink, kid.

 

clearly past your prime and have forgotten what parties are like. or just another dweeb old timer that lives vicariously through this here website and has no idea what I or the OP are actually referring to. sorry pops.

 

I'm 37. Never too old for beer drinking games. My favorite is pool beer pong with a floating styrofoam beer pong table but I live in south Florida. The same thing actually happened last summer to us. We use coronas and ran out going into the third game of a best of three. Instead of tapping the cellar we rescheduled the decisive third game for a few days later allowing for lots of shittalking and endless hype.

 

Played pong with Celebration at this past Christmas Party. That ended badly. Very very very badly.

 

Never really played many drinking games other than Buffalo (which is on-going and has been for few years).
But have played beer pong with various Stone, Green Flash, and Ballast Point brews.
Beer Pong with Sculpin or West Coast IPA did not last too many games needless to say.

 

When I play drinking games, I exclusively use craft beer. Why? Because I'll have to drink it at some point.

And one day when I'm wildly successful and money is no object, I'll be inviting a few BA's over to play Don Quijote beer pong.
