We’re less than two weeks out from the Super Bowl, and now that we know it’s Denver and Seattle battling for the Lombardi Trophy, it’s time to start planning the game-time beer list. Priorities, you know.

In case you’ve been under a rock the last 12 hours—or asleep, which is understandable—the game’s making headlines: I’ve seen everything from the wink-wink “Super ‘Bowl’” to the less discrete “Pot Bowl,” “Weed Bowl” and “Bong Bowl.” Yes, both Colorado and Washington have legalized recreational marijuana. We know this. Since partaking in the substance will land you in the clink everywhere else, I’m officially hijacking this line of thinking and dubbing the upcoming event based on something else those two states are know for: hops. Let’s get ready for the Hop Bowl (I know it doesn’t make any sense, but let’s run with it).

There will be more Super Bowl drinking ideas in the weeks to come, but here’s a pretty easy one to tackle: Serve some of the best hoppy beers from each state, one brand for each category. Why? You like hops. Why else? Reasons: It’s simple, it’s easy, and—for the most part—these beers are pretty widely distributed. See, the NFL does open up avenues for cultural exploration.
