Pool Cue News and Review

Pool payers love beer. This is not a surprise to anyone considering the fact that most pool tables are in bars. What is somewhat surprising though is how strongly they feel about blue collar beer. Bud, Rolling Rock, Coors, Miller. These are the brews you’ll see in the hands of a pool player. Go into a pool hall and ask for an Anchor Steam or an Alpine Ale and not only will you not get a beer, you’ll likely be asked ever so politely to slowly sip your microbrew elsewhere.

It isn’t that pool players don’t enjoy a good beer. There’s just a different taste, a different aroma, a different feel that comes from pulling a pint and drinking a beer on tap. Whether its the blue collar, All American tradition of these brands, the fact that you don’t feel like you ate a loaf of bread after having a few or just really good TV ads, next time you’re in a pool hall, ask for a PBR or an Old Milwaukee. When in Rome, you do as the Romans do so when you’re in a pool hall, do as blue collar Americans do.
