Toast to these Cheers & Beers Party Ideas. Everything you need to host a beer tasting party at home. Oktoberfest Party Ideas or any occasion beer recipes, party decor, beer tasting kits, and more!

Cheers & Beers Party Ideas

Cheers and beers! Because our Wine & Cheese Party ideas were so popular, we of course add to add post for Beer Party Ideas. Be prepared to be amazed with beer party appetizers, décor, recipes, tablescapes and, of course, cheese!

Are you 21 or above? If yes, proceed. If not, have you seen our amazing glow party ideas?! How about our Charcuterie Snack Board Ideas? Take a look!

What beer should I get for a party?

Starting with the right drink is important when hosting a beer party. Often the first question asked is, what beer should I get for a party? If beer is the “theme” of the party, it is important to have a variety of beers. This can be achieved by asking everyone to bring a different variety of beers. If you have a beer keg, consider something something light like a a pale ale! If renting a beer keg, often the brewery can direct you to a beer that is universally liked by both dark and light beer lovers. Search beer keg rental near me.

How do I host a beer tasting party at home?

If hosting a home beer tasting party, it is important to have a variety of light and dark beers as well as a variety of notes. What are notes in beer? Basic notes in beer include malty, grainy, sweet, corn-like, hay, straw, graham cracker, caramel, toast, roast, coffee, espresso, burnt, alcohol, leather, pine, fresh cut grass, pumpkin, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and allspice. You can also include Dark Fruit Aromas like raisins, currant, plum, dates, prunes, figs, blackberry, blueberry.

To a achieve a variety of flavors for a beer tasting party, take a look at a Beer Sampler 6-Pack (also called a “mix 6”). Consider visiting a local brewery and they usually have tasting notes for the individual beers! This would be a great way to acquire your variety of beers too.

*Often beer tasting parties can lead to additional alcohol intake. Please use a ride sharing service like Uber for arriving and departing parties.

Beer party images that will get the party going!

Everything you need to get inspired! Cheers and beers menu, decorations, crafts, kits and more. Let’s get started…

Beer Party Games

Celebrating an Oktoberfest Beer Party or just want to get adults together any ole’ season? Keep the party going with these party games for adults. Enjoy beer tasting games with cups, for large groups, for small groups and more, These 11 beer tasting games also come with beer tasting notes, beer tasting scorecards, beer charades cards for adults.

Pretzel Charcuterie Board with Beer Cheese Dip

Since we love a good Charcuterie Board, we had to start with this amazing Pretzel Snack Board. Kick it up with a hot pretzel bar and lots of dipping sauce too! | How Sweet Eats

Beer Tasting Party at Home Kit

If hosting a beer tasting party at home, you need a score card. Take a look at this Cheers & Beers Beer Placemats and Beer Scorecards. Set includes four different columns for scoring various beers. These printable beer party supplies include beer pairings, place cards, labels, coasters, and beer party décor.

THIS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE, however we have an even better solution and beer kit. Download this Beer Tasting Party Kit here with tasting mat and adult drinking party games.

Beer Tasting Party Kit with Tasting Mat and Party Games

Pumpkin Beer Cooler

Oktoberfest? Have a pumpkin beer cooler! Such a cute way to style your tablescape with beer in a pumpkin. First remove the top and clean the inside of the pumpkin. Optional, place a clear glass bowl in the center of the pumpkin. Lastly, add ice and beer to keep your bottles cold. You’re even cooler (no pun) if you get beer notes with pumpkin flavor (like ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and allspice.) | How Sweet Eats

Beer Party Decor

Instead of a cheers and beers banner, try this idea. When looking for the best beer party décor, it’s possible to make your own by upcycling boxes you are using for the party. Take a look at our DIY Beer Garland from our Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party.

Mini Philly Cheesesteaks

You need some carbs to soak up the drinks. For a tasty beer party recipe, take a look at our Copycat White Castle Sliders or make these Mini Philly Cheesesteaks appetizers (from Valentina’s Corner) for a beer party. A petite version of a Philadelphia classic. Sliced roast beef, paired with a savory cheese sauce, accented with sautéed onions, peppers, and mushrooms; placed in a petite roll.

Printable Cheese Board Labels

You have to have an amazing variety of cheeses. When picking cheese for a beer party, pay attention to these rules.

Riper and richer cheeses can handle a stronger beer and a higher alcohol percentage.
Mild cheeses go well with mild beers.
Sharp blue cheeses can handle a heavy black stout.

Ad an added note, we especially love the beer cheese from Trader Joe’s. Download our printable cheese board labels.

Beer Tasting Kit at Home

When looking for Beer Party activities, I love the idea of a blind tasting. A beer tasting birthday party wouldn’t be complete without a Beer Tasting Station. This is really easy to do and you can do a blind taste test using a brown paper bag or pick up these blind beer tasting bags or blind beer tasting board game. Don’t forget our own Tasting Score Card and Beer Games for Drinking. | Modern Moments Designs

Candied Bacon Recipe

Stockpile on the bacon because our Candied Bacon Recipe will be the most excellent addition to your beer party with friends. One option is to place them on a stick, and place your sticks in a glass beer mug for an easy beer party appetizer idea.

Inexpensive Party Food

When looking for party snacks, chips, nuts and snack mixes are a great mix. I love how these are displayed in glass bowls and fun appetizer wire baskets with basket liners. | Fete a Fete

Beer Bottle Cap Craft Idea

For easy beer party décor, upcycle beer bottle caps and a chalkboard. Add beer quotes, a beer menu list, and more. If you make enough, you could even hand them out as beer party party favors when guests leave or have a bowl as these Bottle Opener Rings for beer party party favor ideas as well. | Source

Cheers & Beers Quotes

“There is no such thing as a bad beer. It’s that some taste better than others.” Billy Carter.
“They who drink beer will think beer.” Washington Irving
Hoptimistic: The belief that everything will be fine with a craft beer.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Cheers & Beers Cakes

Is this a middle age birthday party idea? Take a look at this Cheers and Beers to 40 Years birthday cake. I love how the cheers and beers cake tier is made of beer cans. Pair with our Guinness Chocolate Cupcakes. | Catch My Party

Cheers & Beers Appetizer Recipe

Keep that table flowing with tasty bites. Look at these Balsamic Garlic Grilled Mushroom Skewers, smoky grilled balsamic and garlic marinated mushroom skewers from Closet Cooking… then you can say you served vegetables and count it off your food pyramid checklist for the day.

Beer Cheese Dip

For a beer cheese recipe that feed a crowd, try this Creamy Beer Cheese Dip Tear Apart Bread Bowl. Man, I hope there are leftovers! | Take Two Tappas

Beer Cheese Smokies

To me, beer screams bratwurst dogs. Instead of the large thing, try these minis. A kickin’ Crock-Pot recipe with cheesy beer smokies. Your favorite smokies loaded with beer cheese sauce and tabasco for a kick! | Julie’s Eats and Treats

Beer Bread

We have a number of Guinness Beer recipes you can serve for a beer party at home. Take a look at our Guinness beer bread, Guinness cupcakes, and Guinness beef stew.

Types of Beers Infograph

After hosting a beer tasting party, it is important to become an expert. Who likes beer? Who likes an infographic? Check out this simple chart showing different styles of beer and act like you know it all by the end of the night. | Twitter High Up Tours

Share with us your beer party ideas? I would love to see how you are getting together with friends after a pandemic year and shut down. Dare you call it a Corona beer party?

Wine & Cheese Party Ideas

I mean if your sipping beer, someone has to be sipping wine… right? Take a look at these Wine & Cheese Party Images for a bunch of overlapping ideas. Pin to Pinterest.
