From Taproom Gatherings to the Ultimate Bottle Share Game

It all began with a simple pleasure: sharing great beers with great friends. For years, our group of craft beer enthusiasts would gather in the taproom of a local brewery most Saturdays or Sundays, bringing in special beers to share with one another. These beers were often the result of travels to breweries out of state, trades with fellow beer enthusiasts, or rare, hard-to-find finds. As we shared our passion for craft beer, a unique culture emerged – one that celebrated the art of bottle sharing.

Within our group, a particular fondness for imperial stouts, often barrel-aged, took hold. Our gatherings became known as “Stouterdays,” a name that reflected our love for these rich, complex brews. As we shared beers, a friendly competition arose. Each of us would bring multiple beers of varying styles to share, and the question on everyone’s mind was: which beer would be the “winner of the day”? Conversely, which beers would fail to impress? Out of these lively gatherings, an idea was born: what if we could capture the essence of these bottle sharing experiences in a game?

And thus, Bottle Share—The Craft Beer Game was created. The objective is simple: become the ultimate bottle sharer. In this game, players take turns sharing their favorite beers, each with its own unique characteristics and stories. The game is designed to simulate the excitement and camaraderie of our brewery gatherings, where friends come together to share their passion for craft beer.

As you play Bottle Share, you’ll experience the thrill of discovering new beers, debating their merits, and competing for the title of ultimate bottle sharer. Our game is more than just a fun way to pass the time – it’s a celebration of the culture that has brought us together as friends and fellow beer enthusiasts.

Join us in our journey to become the ultimate bottle sharer. Play Bottle Share today and experience the joy of sharing great beers with great friends. Cheers!
