There is a surprisingly large number of unusual sports that involve beer in some way or another.
In addition to those listed below, the idea for many unusual sports have been created while drinking at a pub, and many beers have been consumed prior to taking part in many of the unusual sports listed on this site.
Drinking Games
- Beer Pong — Players throw a ping pong ball across a table to try and land the ball in a cup of beer at the other end.
