"What's Your Favorite Way To Drink Beer?"

Hey beer lovers! So its Saturday morning and I hope everyone had a good start to their weekend last night, I know I sure did! My roommates and I, along with a few of our close friends decided to have a night in at our house and drink a few beers, which was much needed after the stressful and seemingly endless week I had. 
We all hung out, played some beer pong, and talked about life. And of course since we were drinking beer, my blog came up in several conversations. One discussion, which turned into some what of a debate, was started by my good friend Dan. Dan loves the fact that I dedicated my enthusiast blog to beer, and thinks it is very fitting for me. While we were all sitting around our coffee table Dan asked the group "what's your favorite way to consume beer?" it may sound like an odd question, but it sparked an interesting discussion and material for this post. 
Some people might be confused by this question and say "What? You drink beer out of the can/bottle, just like any other beverage." But my friends and I have witnessed and tested quite a few fun and seemingly out of the ordinary methods to drink beer.
Funneling
Keg Stand
Gargoyle
Shot Gun
Power Hour
Edward 40 hands
Although each of these methods are both fun and great ways to preserve your beer, my personal favorite is, and always has been, funneling. Actually, its kind of funny, we have a house funnel and myself and my roommates tend to take it with us everywhere we go. In fact, all of our friends expect us to have our funnel every time they see us out. Funneling has become some what of an art to me. As weird as that might sound, it does take quite a bit of practice to prefect the act of funneling.

My roommates Gary and Paula strongly disagreed, and made the argument to why power hour is the best way to drink beer while having a good time, while my friend Nate said "NO WAY! edward 40 hand's is by far the coolest method. 
During the discussion, Dan stood up and stated that we were all wrong, and proceeded to demonstrate to the room why shot-gunning a beer is always the number one method of drinking. 
Myself, Krista, D-ham, and Jess held firm to our opinion of funneling as the supreme way to go about drinking beer, and as the discussion ended we all agreed that even though we all have different preferences, each of the previously mentioned ways to drink beer are all effective and a lot of fun!


No matter what way the beer goes down... there is never a wrong way to drink this beloved beverage!!!
