‘Beer’ Yoga Is A Thing And Here’s How It’s Done

I don’t know why I should be surprised.  I mean, “goat” yoga is real.  So, why would I raise my eyebrows at the notion that “beer” yoga is a thing?  For starters, I guess because it seems to be the manifestation of an old joke.  You remember the one?  “I need a cup holder on my exercise bike to hold my beer?”  Well, with beer yoga, no cup holder needed.  In fact, the holding of the cup is apparently part of the deal.

Beer yoga is the latest internet exercise craze.  And here’s how it’s done.  I would have thought this was started by a disgruntled redneck in America who was tired of getting dragged to his girl’s yoga class.  Wrong.  A class of 100 Danish people in Copenhagen began the trend in2019 just prior to the global pandemic.  What happens is each person performs their yoga moves while holding/balancing their beer.  After the successful completion of each move, they reward themself with a swig of brew.

Intrigued?  Want to know more?  Alright, here are 12 Beer Yoga Poses.  Some of my favorites include:  “The Chug Pose,” “The Side Slurp Pose,” “The Double Fisting Pose,” “The Bendy Brewski Pose,” and “The Passed Out Pose.”

I know, you still don’t believe that Beer Yoga is indeed a thing.  Check it out below.

North Carolina Named One Of Top 10 States For Beer Lovers

April 7th is National Beer Day! Which if you’re a beer lover or casual beer drinker is reason enough to celebrate. So celebrate we will! I wouldn’t classify myself as a beer lover by any means, but it is my go-to before football games and at outdoor concerts, in the summer you’ll usually find me with a Corona. Take me to a brewery though and I honestly never have any idea what to order. So while our friends at BetCarolina ranked the best states for beer lovers, I don’t fit that category. But if you are reading this then chances are you do! And the good news is that North Carolina ranked in the top 10 states for beer lovers.

The rankings take into account quality, quantity, and affordability. NC’s highest score came in the affordability category. Here’s exactly how BetCarolina calucated these rankings, they “utilized BeerAdvocate.com to get the average rating of beers brewed in the state (ratings given out of 5), BrewersAssociation.org to get the amount of breweries per capita (per 100,000 residents) and MakeBeerEasy.com for the average price of a 24-pack per state. Once acquiring that information, we averaged out the ranking of the states to get our final rankings.”

They ranked all 50 states but below you’ll find the top 13. You can read the full study here. Cheers and Happy National Beer Day beer lovers! Celebrate accordingly.
