Beer post

Beer Post is a recreational drinking game involving two teams of two going head-to-head. The main objective is to knock a beer can off of a 4x4 post by throwing a football from 50 feet away. The first team to 15 wins the game.

The Beginning of Beer Post

The first game of Beer Post was played in Michigan in 2006. Greg Clark and Tom Corey were camping with a group of friends in Northern Michigan when they invented this fun drinking game.

Rules of Beer Post

*Team members are located on the same side of the playing field standing immediately behind the opposing teams post. One team member will throw the football at the post/can and the opposite end of the field in an attempt to knock down the beer can. The opposing team will field the ball and if the can is moved - the opposing team will replace it. The opposing team will then take their turn at knocking the can off the post. Teammates will alternate throwing the football.
*Players must stand behind the Post when throwing the football.
*If the can is hit directly and knocked off the post a team will earn 3 points.
*If the post is struck with enough force to knock the can off a team will earn one point.
*First team to 15 wins the game.
*If a player hits the can but it doesn't fall off of the post, that team will earn zero points. The can must be knocked off of the post with the football to earn points.
*All players must keep some sort of alcoholic beverage in their non-throwing hand (preferably beer) while throwing.
*The losing team's penalty is either an liquor shot (chosen by the winning team) or shotgunned a beer. The penalty is the losers choice.

The Post

The post should be a standard 4x4 post. If no access to a pair of 4x4 posts exists, a log or other piece of wood may be used, with the understanding that it should have the ability to stand by itself and provide a surface to place a beer can on. The height of the post should be between 1-4 feet tall. It is best if the post is in the ground while playing. This increases the difficulty of the level of play - by lowering the probabilty of a logger.

Beer Post Terms

Logger-- A "Logger" is the term used when you knock down the can by hitting the post. A "Logger" is worth 1 point.

Canner-- A "Canner" is the term used when you directly hit the can without hitting any piece of the log. A "Canner" is worth 3 points.

Benefits

Beer post is an excellent activity for men to play, though many females have enjoyed its challenge as well. It is an excellent daytime sport which can easily lead into other drinking games such as Beer Pong, Flip Cup and Cornhole. With enough teams - league or tournament play can be easily assembled.
