The World Cup of Beers

Who will take home the Cup?

We're just a few days into the World Cup with some dramatic results. Obviously the U.S. - England game is on the top of our lists, but a dramatic win for Ghana over Serbia is also one of the surprises of the tournament so far.

We meant to role this out before the Cup started, but, like everything it seems here, we're behind. That doesn't make it not valuable, though. For the remainder of World Cup we'll be rolling out our own "World Cup of Beer".

Before we go any further we'd like to take the time and point out that ESPN's Page2 TOTALLY stole the idea from us. We were working on this months ago! Bastards!

The point wasn't to divide the teams and rank the tastes of each beer and choose a winner because honestly we haven't had the luxury of drinking many of these. I know you're thinking that we really should tried harder to get our hands on some Star Beer from Ghana or the sole (Seoul?) beer out of North Korea. Oh well.... get used to being disappointed by us.

The point of suggesting a beer for each country is more an intellectual exercise if one wanted to drink a country-specific beer for each match. We're saving some of the strong soccer-playing nations for later in the tournament because you'll have more of an opportunity to drink them since they'll be around longer (we and they hope).

We've broken down our World Cup team beers into three categories.

The Categories

- "Have a Taste Now, They Won't Be Around Long" - These teams will be out of the tournament after the first round so get drinking their beers before it's too late

- "Back to the Bar for the Second Round" - We'll be seeing these teams move on to the knockout rounds so make sure you get another taste of their national brews.

- "Get a Keg, You Might Drink this All the Way"

Tomorrow we'll present our teams and beers that are making an early departure from the World Cup.
