The best beer kegs for sports
Almost nothing beats the pub. We understand you might want to pop to your local to watch the game, we love it too. However, there is a special place in our hearts for home drinking. With all the games coming up, there is more reason than ever to pour pub worthy pints from your own home bar. There will be some nail bitingly tense moments taking place and we imagine you'll be glued to the TV. And with BLADE, you can have the real pub experience without having to leave the sofa!
Top beer kegs for game day
We understand that your "usual" is your usual for a reason but as creatures of habit we can go on auto pilot and pick things just because they are familiar. There are so many BLADE kegs and and 5L draught kegs on offer we wanted to make sure you know exactly what's out there. And what better way to get the insight scoop than our very own untapped resource of beer loving sports fans.
To help you mix things up, we asked six beer-loving Beerwulf colleagues which beers they load into their home draught machine when watching sports. Here are their top beer kegs for games 👇
#1 Lagunitas IPA
Quentin
"I just love the combination of hops and citrus aromas you get from Lagunitas IPA. I have so many great memories of watching games at the Lagunitas taproom here in Amsterdam, so I was overjoyed to find it available on BLADE. It's 6.2% alcohol, so you're guaranteed to have a merry evening whatever the result of the game."
#2 Desperados
Demirel
"Desperados is my family's go to beer when we are watching football games. The agave flavour is what really makes this beer great. Not only is it super refreshing but it also has aromas of lemon and lime."
#3 Edelweiss Hefetrüb
Anais
"For me, the best beer to drink during any match would be a good, easy drinking Weizen. Nothing beats a golden, cloudy German Wheat Beer. I don't usually go for anything overly complicated or too high in ABV. I don't want any distractions from the game, just a fresh beer with a gentle aftertaste like Edelweiss Hefetrüb will do me just fine!"
#4 Gösser Radler
Nicole:
"If I had to choose one beer to watch sports, I’d go for the Gösser Radler! It has been one of my favourites for a long time and it’s from Austria, like me. I really like the refreshing taste, the lemon flavour and that it has a low ABV. It’s a true thirst quencher, it's great at a festival, with friends at home, at a BBQ and especially, watching sports. It’s always a good fit for me!"
# 5 Brixton Reliance
Levi:
"I cannot get enough of Brixton Reliance Pale Ale, the combination of hops and tropical fruitiness you get is just so delicious. It's everything you want from a pale ale and more. And now that it's getting warmer it's even better. There's nothing sweeter than sitting outside in the sun at half time with a pint of this in one hand and a burger in the other."
# 6 Heineken
Phoebe:
"I love an IPA or a crafty pale ale as much as the next person, especially in the summer months. However, watching a game? There is only one beer in my opinion that screams half time pints, and that’s Heineken. It’s easy drinking, light and super refreshing. You can’t beat it…well actually there is one way that you can, drinking with some salty crisps. But is there anything that snacks don't improve?"
