And we’ve still got you covered this weekend with the best beer events to movies, music and cutting edge TV. Plus we’ve another weekend beer pick for you too, because we know you’ll be drinking.
Groundhog Day – The Movie & Drinking Games
Watching the Groundhog Day movie is a crucial part of celebrating this important day and sets the tone for a weekend worth repeating…and repeating and repeating.
Written and directed by Harold Ramis,(Ghostbusters) Groundhog Day stars Bill Murry as a smug TV weatherman covering the annual celebration in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, who finds himself in a time loop and reliving the day endlessly.
For many, Groundhog Day drinking games are an important part of the day’s celebrations with participants across the county gathering together to power-pound beers every time Bill Murry returns to that village tavern.
Seasoned Groundhog Day beer enthusiasts, train for months to get in performance shape for this nationwide beer game – so know that the competition can sometimes be brutal.
