Home Brew: For The Do-It-Yourself Crowd


As interest in microbrews and brewpubs has grown throughout society, some people of the more adventurous variety have taken the DIY approach, investing the time and money into brewing their own beer. Some breweries, such as Guinness, have been around for hundreds of years but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find a formula that proves to be just as satisfying in your own home.

A Lot to Learn

What you won’t have in common with the big breweries is the budget for expenditures. Home-brewing equipment costs a lot more than other hobbies, like cramming tiny ships into bottles, nor is it anywhere as easy. Beer enthusiasts of this day and age, actually, can benefit from brewing software produced by companies like BeerSmith. There is an abundance of online resources for both gear and good advice, as people are usually all too happy to share their experiences with others.

Plenty of Advice to Be Found

Those who have been brewing their own beer for a while give out sage advice that they’ve acquired through many batches’ worth of trial and error. Learning from their successes and mistakes – and hopefully a secret ingredient or two – can make the brewing of beer a much more rewarding (read: Less frustrating) endeavor for the novice. And it gives you a better chance of getting noticed for your craftsmanship.

After proper equipment set-up, the most important element of home brewing is the use of fresh ingredients. In particular, the use of liquid yeast – as opposed to dry yeast – is strongly encouraged. Liquid yeast should be refrigerated. A cool, dry place is best for grains, and hops should be kept frozen. All brewing ingredients should be used as soon as possible after purchase, as they tend to oxidize relatively quickly. Keeping up with the vibrant online home-brewing community is the best way to find answers when you are stumped, and to share with others the things that worked for you.

Rules To Beer Pong

Rules to Beer Pong

Beer Pong is one of the most popular drinking games that’s enjoyed around the world. This game is also known by some fans as the game of Beirut and it was originally started way back in the 1970’s by college students who were looking for a fun drinking game to play after they unwound from their studies.

Rules of Play

Unlike other favorite sports, beer pong doesn’t have any “official” rules and accepted game play varies from team to team. Although the rules vary, the most commonly accepted rules of beer pong are:

  1. Two teams – Each team consists of two players but more players can be added so there are as many as six players on each team.
  2. Set up – To set up a beer pong table all you need to do is set up beer cups half filled with beer in three levels, on opposite sides of the table, just like you would set up pool table balls before the start a game of pool.
  3. Objective – The goal of each team is to land a beer pong ball into the glasses of the opposing team. If team one lands a beer pong ball into team two’s glass then team two will have to drink the beer in that glass. Once the beer has been drunk, that glass will have to be placed back into the triangle and if team one lands a ball into that glass again, team two will have to drink the beer in their other glasses.
  4. Winner – Once one team drinks all of the beer in their glasses the other team will have won the game.

A Game That Can Be Played Anywhere

The great thing about beer pong is that it can be played anywhere from college campuses, bars, barbecues to tailgating events. Remember that safety first should be a priority for all players and beer should never be consumed to the point of over intoxication.

What Is Beer Pong?

Learn More about This Favorite Drinking Game
Beer Pong (Beirut) is a game that started back in the 1970’s on college campuses across the United States and over the years since it’s grown quietly in a favorite drinking game that any person of legal drinking age can enjoy.

Supplies Needed For Beer Pong

  • Ping pong table or beer pong table.
  • Ping pong balls.
  • Plastic beer pong cups.
  • Four players.

How to Play
Stack three levels of cups in a triangular formation on opposite sides of the table, just like you would stack pool balls before a typical break. All three levels of cups should be half filled with beer. Total set up time for a beer pong game lasts about two minutes and one game can last between 15 and 20 minutes.

Basically, the objective of beer pong is for one team to toss all of the ping pong balls into the beer glasses, if they accomplish this goal, they will win the game and the other team will have to drink all of the beer in the glasses.
Game play starts with a coin toss or rock, paper, scissors. The team that has the right call will get to go first.

Beer pong rules vary from game to game, many people allow the players on the other team to swat the ball away if the ball bounces but, if the ball hits the beer glasses, and beer gets the table wet, that’s seen as a sign of drunkenness or dishonor.

Beer Pong Gear
You can find the best beer pong gear online and have the supplies that you need shipped to your house or favorite bar. As the game has evolved so has the merchandise and now you can buy beer pong tables, beer bong cups and beer pong balls that are made specifically for the game of beer pong.

Even though beer pong is a fun game it’s always important to keep safety as a priority and not let players who appear to be over intoxicated drive home after drinking.
