Throwing a crazy beer party for all your friends and thinking up ideas to make that party unforgettable can give you a headache before the party begins. Beer party games and contests are always appreciated by partygoers and with a lot of thought and a little preparation, your beer party can be as crazy as you want it to be. Keep in mind that you are the one throwing the party and need to be wary of partygoers who may leave your party and get behind the wheel. Order a taxi for partygoers who have had a few beers too many.
Yard of Ale
Yard of Ale, or sometimes called a beer bong, always draws plenty of attention from partygoers wishing to do better than their buddies at drinking a whole yard of ale. Strong beer such as real ale is usually used in the Yard of Ale glass for the maximum effect. The object of the Yard of Ale contest is to see who can drink the most ale at once from the glass, which is a long, tubular glass with a bulbous rounded bottom filled with ale. The partygoer tips up the yard of ale and drinks as much as he can without stopping. Whoever drinks the most wins the contest.
Guess the Beer Brand
Connoisseurs of beer will enjoy a "guess the beer brand" contest. Set ten shot glasses filled with different beers on the bar and have people taste them and guess the brand of beer. Whoever guesses the most beer brands correctly, wins and has to down the ten shot glasses full of beer all at once.
Beer Through Straws
Use a bikini-clad woman as a table and "set" the table with four beer glasses with straws in them. Have four men at one time drink beer from a straw with their hands behind their back. The last partygoer left that doesn't spill his glass of beer on the woman wins. At this point, the winner is permitted to lick beer from the woman's midriff. This is a favorite beer game with the guys.
