Pong Beer

[Henry22]

Has anyone had Pong Beer? New beer that came out thats made for drinking games. Curious if it tastes better than BMC. Its not in very many states and I cant get it here in SC but it is expanding.

Lol, a 30 pack comes with 2 ping pong balls

I'll bet it's a real delight.

(facepalm)

Saw it in the store today (NW Arkansas).....didn't bite.

Obviously it's not going to be very good but for a lot of drinking games you need something cheap and if you can avoid buying BMC then that's great.

 

[bwomp313]

wow. I'll bet the frat boys are all over it. As long as it's cheap.

 

[Captainfester]

Why would you avoid buying bmc. Who the **** cares who makes the beer other people drink?

Agreed. I've had my fair share of Frat-Water while playing beer pong. There's a time and place for it, IMO.

 

[Henry22]

Well first I would drink it as well. Not wasting home brew for drinking games and second, BMC actively work to cut out the craft brew market through laws and regulation. If you stop buying their beer, you're preventing that from happening, however small of an effect it may be.

Henry, I just have to point out that you say you are drinking Stella in your signature... Hate to break it to you, but that's an AB-InBev Product. Unless you brewed some sort of clone. Just sayin...

 

[Rivenin]

i love me some beer pong, it's probably a very light lager though, somewhat tempting...

This is true. I guess it doesn't matter much anymore but it was an InBev product before they bought AB. Regardless, any competition to BMC is a good thing and I think its cool that they offer ping pong balls with it.

 

[gladius270]

I would agree that competition can only be a good thing. If I were back in college, I would definitely pick up some of this Pong Beer.

Finally! A light American lager on the market! I was getting sick and tired of grocery store shelves being saturated with IPAs, stouts, saisons and the like.

I'll stick to PBR if I want a 30 rack of cheap beer.

While PBR is pretty good (for a cheap lager) I find it pretty filling when doing lots of heavy drinking during games.

My friends and I used to play beer pong with dead guy ale...we didn't last many games.

Because then they get my money. And I'm not supporting in any way, shape, or form a bunch of suits who are trying to make money rather than trying to craft beer. We're cattle to them, potential revenue. That's all.

Yes, I'm a hardliner. How d'ya do

I like Nametag and Simpler Times from Trader Joe's when I want cheap beer for slugging. I'd try Pong beer for grins and giggles!

My roommate actually worked for the company as a brand ambassador, that aside it basically tastes in between a keystone and coors light. I don't expect it to be around for long they have such a limited market they appeal to which I'd say is underagers and frat dudes they should have named it like mountain light or something.

That doesn't sound great. At least it's cheap.
