| The 2010 World Beer Pong Tour Championship just completed their final round in Atlantic City (NJ) and the Sacramento duo of Michael Seivert and Byron Findley, won as they beat out 352 other teams to win the $25,000 first prize. Beer pong, sometimes called beirut, is an American frat party staple. Two teams square off at opposite sides of a table that has two sets of plastic cups set up in triangle formations and filled with beer. Teams take turns trying to throw ping-pong balls into the cups at the opposite end of the table; when a pingpong ball lands in a cup, the other team must drink the beer inside and remove the cup. Seivert and Findley, both 26, said they make 70 percent of shots on average. "Even though it started as a drinking game, it's evolved into something similar to competitive darts or billiards," said Seivert. And the game is making them money. "I started the tournament for beer pong to be recognized as a sport," said Sam Pines, commissioner of the World Beer Pong tour. "Just like basketball, it involves hand-eye coordination, depth perception, aiming the ball and throwing it in a cup." Seivert, a waiter by day, is a part owner of All-American Beer Pong, a company that runs tournaments in California. Findley's sole source of income is beer pong-related activities. |

| Beer Flood The Okanagan Springs brewery in Vernon, B.C., is cleaning up after its latest batch of cream beer became a cream bomb, blowing apart the fermenting vat. The Thursday afternoon blast was powerful enough to tear an aluminum loading door off its hinges, sending 32,000 litres of fermented foam flooding across a downtown street in the North Okanagan city. Fortunately, no-one was seriously injured by the blast or in the rush of pedestrians to get free beer. A build-up of carbon dioxide is blamed for the blast. send contributions for On Tap to webmaster@beernexus.com |
