Fun beer-tasting ideas are for mature adults.
Beer-tasting fund-raisers should be promoted to supporters of your organization who are 21 years of age or older. Meet with other members of your organization to discuss activities and entertainment that can attract more guests. Fun beer-tasting ideas can be implemented in a variety of settings.
Beef and Beer Event
Host a social gathering where attendees can sample beers available from different brewers around the country while eating dishes made with beef. Rent a banquet hall that can accommodate large crowds of people if your organization's headquarters does not have adequate space for invited guests. Ask a local chef to donate meatball sandwiches, beef stew, hamburgers and roast beef meals that can be served to guests during the fund-raising event. Invite a local brewer or culinary expert to your beef and beer event. Ask the expert to help create pairings of your food and beer before they are served to guests. Hire a stand-up comedian to provide entertainment during your beef and beer fund-raiser. Sell advance tickets for entry to this event, or charge admission to guests as they arrive. Provide a stage, microphone and all necessary sound equipment for the stand-up comedy routine.
Beer-Tasting Contest
Invite men and women to participate in a beer-tasting contest as one of your fund-raising initiatives. Gather a variety of domestic beers and international brands from Mexico, England and other countries. Charge an entry fee per category for contestants who want to participate in your organization's beer-tasting contest. Cover the eyes of each contestant using a bandanna or sleeping mask, and provide him with a cup of beer from his chosen category. Give prizes to each contestant who correctly identifies the beer he tastes.
Charge admission to guests who want to witness the beer-tasting event and sell refreshments for profit. You can also try to partner with a local radio station that will provide publicity for the fund-raiser and your organization.
Beer Trivia
Collect donations from supporters who want to participate in a beer-tasting trivia event. Host a restaurant-style beer-tasting fund-raiser by assigning other members of your organization to work as servers. Set up tables with sheets that list trivia questions related to each beer that will be served at your fund-raising event. Instruct all guests to answer the trivia questions when they arrive. Collect all answer sheets before serving the beer. Set up a sound system with a microphone that allows you to communicate with all guests and volunteer servers.
Answer one trivia question between each beer served using your microphone. Provide background information on the previous beer that was served and introduce the next beer. Give prizes to the top ten guests who answered the most trivia questions correctly.
