Beverage Options for Your Party

While it may seem obvious that a Cheers and Beers party would feature beer on the menu, there are some things to consider when planning your drink menu. Think about these beverage options for your beer themed party:

Kegs. Setting up kegs of some of the guests’ favorite beer options is a quick and easy way to provide your guests with drinks.
Beer cans and bottles. To give your guests more options when it comes to the beers they drink, purchasing a variety of beer cans and bottles is another way to go. This is also a great choice when hosting a craft beer party because you’ll be able to provide guests with a bigger selection than if you purchased kegs.
Mixed drinks. Let’s face it – not everyone at your party will want beer. Make sure to have at least one mixed drink option for anyone who’s not a beer fan.
Soda and water. It’s also a good idea to keep your designated drivers in mind. Provide guests with nonalcoholic options.
Host the party at a bar or microbrewery. Instead of coming up with drink options on your own, why not bring the party to the beer? Hosting your party at a bar or microbrewery is a simple way to give your guests options when it comes to drinks.
