Lay out your perfect Super Bowl party by stocking a selection of great brews that run the gamut from icy pilsners to meaty stouts.
Over 110 million people will turn their attention to Las Vegas this Sunday, where the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will take to their field in Super Bowl XLVIII. While many will lament that their team didn’t make it to the big game, come on, Denver, get it together. They all will settle in to watch one of the year’s most significant sporting events. That means grills will be smoking, wings will be sizzling, and coolers will overflow.
But therein lies the problem every host and hostess faces each year for the big game. What beers should they stock to ensure everyone gets a cold one they appreciate? It can be a complicated decision, especially since there are over 9,000 breweries across the United States.
To simplify things, here is a list of nine brews covering the entire flavor gamut, from a spicy IPA to a smooth sipping stout. To make things even easier, we have filled our ideal cooler with brews available nationwide so fans everywhere are not left out.
Coors Banquet
A true American classic, like the Super Bowl, Coors Banquet turned 150 years old last summer. Brewed in Golden, Colorado, with Rocky Mountain water, it is a well-balanced golden lager reminiscent of the classic German brews that influenced its original recipe. It adds instant credibility to any cooler and pairs with any dish.
Heineken 0.0
Non-alcoholic beer, along with the entire N/A portfolio, is on fire these days as drinkers increasingly look for healthier options. It seems everyone knows someone who just completed Dry January.
