SUPER BOWL XLIX: Tips for Throwing an Awesome Party This Weekend











This Sunday at 6:30, the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will go head-to-head in Super Bowl XLIX. Following a game that has been surrounded by the DeflateGate controversy, the Patriots, who haven’t been champions since 2005, will try to defeat last year’s Super Bowl champions the Seahawks. While the game itself is sure to cause a rift among hardcore fans, there is one thing we can all look forward to: the Super Bowl parties. Here are some tips to make your Super Bowl party a success.

CRAFT BEER TASTING

If Katy Perry isn’t really your thing, a craft beer tasting is a great way to endure the half-time show. Here’s a creative way to sample some nice beers with your fellow partygoers. We recommend Narragansett Lovecraft Honey Ale and The Long Thaw by Harpoon Brewery.

QUICKLY COOL YOUR BEER
