r/beermats is a new community dedicated to sharing and documenting beermats from around the world. Come show off your collection! Share old favorites or anything new and interesting that you come across while enjoying beer.

To some they are merely a disposable means of preventing marks on tabletops, to others they are a compact and collectible piece of art.

If you appreciate the unique designs of these humble cardboard coasters, r/beermats is the sub for you!

Edit:

I’m sorry that some people seem to be confused and upset about the name

These things can be called by a lot of different names but I wanted a term that was short and specific, I didn’t know that so many people were unfamiliar with this term. It is however a real word referring to these “beer coasters”, if you prefer: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/beer-ma

Whatever you would like to call them, all are welcome on the sub. I put a lot of work into this because it is something that I really enjoy and would like to share with others. If you too like this subject and can get over the name, I’d love for you to join

Seeing as how so many people seem to be unfamiliar and confused by what I’ve chosen as a name for this sub, I will try to rework some of my wording in the sub description to acknowledge some of the alternative terminology and to make it clear what the subject is for those who may be confused

I apologize for the confusion, I just wanted this to be a fun thing for people to enjoy

I have a teku which is decent. Any other suggestions?

I have bottle of coors light that says “MAR2425 48”.. is this the expiration date?? I work at restaurant and customer said beer is expired but we just recently received this…

Been once, going back shortly, went to Tarantula brewing which was great but would like to check out other spots, or if there’s a great beer bar too. Anyone from there have any recos?

I recently had hand surgery and dropped my dads favourite beer glass in the sink and broke it- it was really special to him and I’ve been looking for it everywhere but I can’t find it online. Looks like a simple fishing fly design etched on to me and it was a wheat beer glass. Thank you to anyone with any ideas I have a photo of the design I posted in r/beerglasses if that helps anyone

How come they ditched their brown bottles? It doesn't taste the same now.

Does anyone know if they still sell the Newcastle 5L refrigerator mini kegs?

I'm planning on smoking a connecticut cigar tonight and I'm looking for a nice beer to pair with it. Preferably it would be something I can get from my local store. Any recommendations? I live in america by the way.

Hello, I've recently moved to the Belgian border and I was wondering if you can give me some recommendations of beer to try. I just discovered that I live pretty close to the Westletveren brewery, haven't tried it yet because it seems pretty expensive and because I am an amateur beer drinker, I don't want to get right into the good stuff without having a reference to other beers that are comparable and cheaper. So, if you were/are in Belgium, what would be in your shopping basket?

Cannot get enough of it in Vietnam and wondering if there's anything similar tasting outside of Vietnam and/or how to brew it if not!

I've been staying in Sandpoint to finish out ski season and love the small vibrant beer scene here. I heard yesterday while at Mick Duffs that Laughing Dog is now closed. I visited the brewery a number of times on my way home to the cabin and enjoyed their beers and locals at the bar. Heard different rumblings but did meet the new bar manager who worked 1 day before they shut up the brewery.

When are they gonna bring back the sam adams porch rockers in the US? Probably my favorite summer beer, and now that its getting warm again, I'd love one in my hand. I usually see them at walmart, but the workers don't seem to know.

Has anyone done the beer mile in London? Not the race, just visiting the bars. I won’t be able to hit all the stops, but any recommendations on the best ones that I should go to? Thanks!

Any seasonal summer beers that have been released yet? My go to is Sierra Nevada Summerfest but that’s not out for another week or two. Located in NJ

Anybody have an idea when Shiner strawberry blond is gonna be back on the shelves? been dyin for it!!

I have started ranking and sorting the craft beers I'm drinking. For now I have used the so-called "beeriodic table" as a way to arrange beers into their types.

I've however ran into this article https://zythophile.co.uk/2009/12/19/the-beeriodic-table-beautifully-executed-fatally-flawed/ and while I understand some of its flaws, what I'm really interested in is a good way to separate drinks into categories - the fact that some drinks are wrongly put together in the same column does not matter too much.

Is there any "definitive" list of styles I should use to help me sorting out my beer rankings?

I lived in Pittsburgh from ages 21-24, and for three years draft Blue Moon was my go-to beer for a casual bar night. I moved to Philadelphia about a year ago, and almost none of the bars I’ve been to have had Blue Moon on draft, what’s up with that? The cities really aren’t that far apart.

Everywhere just has Allagash White, which I honestly think is a higher quality/tastier beer, but it’s very flavorful and sometimes I want something simpler if I’m going to be having other drinks or be out for a long time.

A friend of mine owns a pub and mentioned Heineken have now increased Carling keg prices by €10 which is pure greed. He might pull it out in protest, so just wondering what other low priced draught lagers he could replace it with. He had Tuborg from Diagio and that didn't sell well. Fosters from Heineken, nope. Hop House from Diagio , nope. That Canadian stuff, trialed and gone again.

Any other suggestions, none from Heineken of course.

Hey fellow bier lovers!

With the spring sun coming up, I'm looking for refreshing, and not too strong (in terms of alcohol %) beers.

I very much like bavarian helles but have only access to a limited selection in France (I liked: Spaten, Lowenbraw, Franziskaner hefe weissbier; on tap).

I have yet to try Schneider Weisse Bayrisch Hell, or Franziskaner kellerbier ; or in a different style Haake Beck Pils.

Thanks for your insights! Any tip to help me find similar beer or kind of beer to enjoy, I'm not familiar with appreciated!
