Lately, beer pong and beer pong stunts have been all over the media.  One recent appearance beer pong and beer pong trick shots made in the media was the Tosh.0 television show.  This event features Bree Olson, an adult film actress, performing some revealing pong shots.  The Bree Olson beer pong shot was one of the more extreme examples.

But beer pong and pong related content have appeared on the Jay Leno Show, and even Fox.  Fox featured a pong raft game that had become popular.  Jay Leno features beer pong on his shows all the time.  NBC even featured a beer pong match between Jimmy Fallon and Betty White.

Clearly beer pong is infiltrating every area of the media and rising in popularity.  There are even companies that offer portable, high quality beer pong gear and beer pong tables.  One site, www.redcuppong.com had an extremely large collection of beer pong tables and designs.  The tables offered started from under $60 for their shorter model, and well surpassed the standard beer pong table seen in most apartments and college dorms.  Their tables measured the regulation 8 foot long by 2 foot wide dimensions, included attached bottle openers, a ball rack, 6 custom pong balls, and more.  The tables can fold up in 30 seconds into a 2 foot by 2 foot briefcase that even features carrying handles.  The tables are designed to be a quick clean and are resistant to spills and warping.  Companies Red Cup Pong help highlight how fast the beer pong and beer pong industry have grown.  Beer pong is nearly everywhere on TV, in dorms, apartments, and move.

Beer Pong truly is an American phenomenon, and the interest in beer pong is not just among the youngest of adults.  Instead, the older generations seem to get a kick out of watching beer pong, and even playing it themselves.  Beer Pong themed parties have seemed to start appearing all over the United States.  So no matter where you are, chances are you will know what beer pong is in the near future if you do not know already, and maybe even take part in one of the newest forms of entertainment!

Of course the easiest way to indulge Dad’s love of beer is with a selection of his favorite bottles.  That doesn’t mean you need to simply package up a six-pack, there are many sophisticated ways you can gift a few brews for a Father’s Day treat. Why not try a beer-of-the-month club? With so many online clubs to choose from, just make sure you pick the perfect fit for the beer lover in your life.  Whether that’s a service that sends popular international beers, or one that favors smaller craft breweries, the choice is yours. Some clubs even include a newsletter so Dad will be able to expand his beer knowledge as he sips away.

Looking for something simpler? A one-off gift basket of beer can be equally as enjoyable, as is a gift certificate to a favorite brewpub or restaurant. For a fun day out, accompany him to a microbrewery and order up samplers. Or, if it’s possible, gift him a tour of his favorite brewery. From the Budweiser brewery in St Louis Missouri, complete with its Clydesdale stables, to the Coor’s brewery in picturesque Golden Colorado, you can see how America’s most popular beers are made. At a local level, small craft brewers often offer brewery tours and tastings. Simply visit the National Brewer’s Association website and you’ll find helpful links to events, beer news and happenings all across the country.

Alternatively, if Dad’s more of a hands-on kind of guy, get him a home brewing kit. For the beginner brewer, starter kits make it easy and fun to bring the brewing action into the home. Complete with ingredients, instructions and equipment, Dad can become a brew master in no time. And, for a fun Father’s Day activity why not apron up and join in on the beer-making fun?

For an exclusive beer accessory gift, get searching on EBay or other auction sites for a unique, vintage piece of beer memorabilia.  Whether it’s a cool and collectable advertisement poster you can get framed for Dad’s bar, or a one-of-a-kind beer opener, a gift that’s loaded with nostalgia is a surefire hit. Or, perhaps Dad’s collection of tired glasses needs bringing into the 21st century. Visit a gift website like RedEnvelope.com and you’ll find many classy options for updating his glassware. How about adding a customized etched name or monogram to add a personal touch? There’s really no better way to say ‘cheers’ to Dad.

And when you do, don’t forget to plan ahead and have some personalized beer mugs made. Custom beer mugs can be used as party favors. You could have your company’s logo printed on one side of the mug and “Oktoberfest 2009″ printed on the other side. This will not only promote your company, it will show a lighter, fun side to your business. It will show that you can let your hair down, so to speak, and have a good time.

If you give out promotional beer mugs as gifts to your guests and customers, you will always be remembered. You’ll be remembered as a good planner, someone who cares about your customers, and someone who is in tuned with the social events of the world. People will admire you for your exceptional planning capabilities (since Oktoberfest is at the end of September and beginning of October) and your desire to please. All in all, you’ll have a situation where you and your business will always be remembered and people will keep returning.

As Oktoberfest party favors, personalized beer mugs are the best gift you can give. Oktoberfest is a social setting so you will definitely want to throw a party. Order some mugs and let your imagination sore. The party won’t even seem like and advertising and marketing event because people will be having too much of a good time.

As advertising and marketing tools, the mugs are no exception to the rule. When you give them out, you’ll find that people will use them again and again. Since they are made out of heavy glass, they are of good quality and they are things to be used. And, if people are using them that means your company’s name is getting out. What’s more, people love to collect beer mugs. If yours is equal or better in quality than the rest, people who collect them are very likely to add them to their collection. Imagine friends and family of the beer drinker who has a collection of mugs looking at the collection and seeing your logo on one of them. They will be sure to ask about it!

Personalized beer mugs are an excellent choice for advertising, marketing, and promotional materials for your business. They are especially practical for the Oktoberfest social event that will be happening very soon. So, start thinking about what you want to do and plan ahead.
