10 beer cocktails for your Super Bowl Party
By Laura Vitto From Mashable
The keys to throwing a great Super Bowl party are relatively simple: stock up on nacho cheese, mute the game in between commercials and, most importantly, make sure you never run out of beer.
If you’ve tuned into a football game for longer than 30 seconds, you know that the game isn’t about athletics or statistics. Rather, it’s about beer.
So while no party would be complete without it, it’s possible you’re bored of drinking the same old warm, domestic stuff straight from the can. Luckily, there are beer-based cocktail recipes that can ramp up even the blandest of brews.
As for the morning-after hangover? You’re on your own, there.
1. Black and Tan
