The Super Bowl always falls on a Sunday. From 1967 to 2003 it came in mid to late January, and from 2004 to 2021, it was played on the first Sunday of February. Now, to account for an extra bye week. it falls on the second Sunday of February. In 2023, the Super Bowl will be on Sunday, Feb. 14.
You can find a wide range of beer-drinking accessories, some essential and others simply nice to have.
If you're hosting a Super Bowl party, you'll need to supply beer-drinking essentials for all your guests. This means you might want to focus on affordable items to buy in bulk. For instance, recyclable plastic or aluminum cups rather than beer glasses, or basic beer koozies instead of high-end can insulators.
Coolers or mini beer fridges are great for keeping drinks cool wherever you're watching the game, so you and your guests won't need to leave the action to get beer. You may also want to provide the beer, although you can ask guests to bring their own to an informal gathering. As it's held in winter, dark beers, such as stouts and porters, are popular.
