Running a brewery isn’t just about brewing the best beer; it’s about creating an environment where your customers never want to leave. And what pairs better with craft brews than outdoor games that keep the fun going? From casual competitions to lively team play, outdoor games create a vibe that customers will remember—and keep coming back for. Grab a pint, step outside, and set up these outdoor brewery games to keep your customers coming back!

Giant Jenga

Take the classic tabletop game to new heights—literally. A towering stack of oversized Jenga blocks creates thrilling—and occasionally heart-stopping—moments as players carefully remove pieces and stack them higher without toppling the tower. The bigger the tower gets, the more exciting and nerve-wracking the game becomes. It’s a great icebreaker, especially with a crowd cheering each move. Pair it with a cold drink, and you’ve got a recipe for laughter and suspense that everyone will love.

Yard Pong

Bring the fun of beer pong outdoors with oversized red cups and a soccer or volleyball. Yard Pong is a fresh twist on the old party favorite and takes the excitement up a notch with a larger playing area and oversized cups. Teams take turns tossing the ball into the cups, just like the table version, but this larger format makes it more active and engaging. It’s a simple setup that will have groups competing and laughing as they play the game. Perfect for adding energy to your outdoor space!

Cornhole

Cornhole is a classic for a reason. It’s easy to set up, simple to play, and keeps everyone engaged, whether they’re hardcore competitors or watching from the sidelines with a beer in hand. Players take turns tossing bean bags toward a raised board with a hole, trying to score points by landing the bag on the board or getting the bag through the hole.

The satisfying thunk of a bean bag hitting the board never gets old, and the competitive, yet relaxed, nature of the game makes it a perfect fit for any social gathering. This game is especially perfect if you pick up some high-quality beer-themed cornhole boards from us at Slick Woody’s! Work with us, set up a couple of boards, and you’ve got hours of entertainment for groups of all sizes.

Bocce Ball

Bocce ball combines simplicity with a surprising level of strategy, making it a game that appeals to all ages and skill levels. Players compete to roll their bocce balls closest to a smaller target ball, called the pallino, while knocking opponents' balls out of the way.

This game is great for groups of all sizes, whether they’re looking for a relaxing activity or some friendly competition. Set aside a designated area of your lawn for this low-key yet endlessly engaging game and watch as it brings out everyone’s competitive spirit.

Ladder Toss

Ladder toss is an addictive game that’s popular for a reason. Players toss bolas at the rungs of a ladder, earning points based on where the bolas land. The combination of skill, strategy, and a bit of luck keeps things exciting and accessible for all ages. Whether it’s competitive players fine-tuning their aim or casual participants just having fun, ladder toss is always a hit. Plus, it’s super easy to set up and perfect for brewery patios or grassy outdoor spaces.

Ring Toss

There’s something timeless about a game of ring toss. It’s simple, fun, and accessible to all ages, making it a family-friendly option that everyone can enjoy. Players take turns tossing rings onto pegs, testing their aim and precision. It’s easy to learn but tricky to master, which keeps it engaging over multiple rounds. You can even customize the targets with your brewery’s logo or branding for an extra touch that makes the game unique to your space.

Spikeball

For customers who want something fast-paced and energetic, Spikeball is a perfect choice. This game combines elements of volleyball with a small, round net placed on the ground. Teams take turns serving and spiking a ball off the net, keeping it in play as they aim to outscore their opponents. It’s a high-energy game that’s great for competitive groups or active customers who want to work up a sweat.

Kubb

Kubb, often called “Viking Chess,” is a unique lawn game that combines strategy, skill, and teamwork. Players take turns tossing wooden batons to knock over the other team’s blocks, working towards the goal of toppling the king block in the middle. The game requires a mix of precision and tactical planning, making it both challenging and fun.

Horseshoes

A designated horseshoe pit transforms any outdoor area into a central attraction. Players take turns tossing horseshoes at a metal stake, aiming to “ring” the stake or land as close as possible. It’s a game of precision and patience that’s easy for both seasoned players and newcomers to enjoy. With just enough challenge to keep things interesting, horseshoes provide a relaxed yet engaging activity that appeals to all ages.

Washers

Washers is like the close cousin of cornhole, offering a similar mix of simple rules and addictive competitiveness. Players toss small metal washers toward a box or pipe, aiming to score points by landing the washers inside. Washers is right for your brewery because it’s:

• Easy to set up
• Quick to learn
• Endlessly fun for everyone

Washers is also a versatile game that works well in smaller spaces, making it a great addition to your outdoor setup.

Frisbee Golf

Also known as disc golf, this laid-back game is a hit with outdoor-loving customers. Just like traditional golf, players aim to complete a course in the fewest number of throws, but instead of golf balls, they use frisbees. Create a fun, low-pressure course around your brewery grounds with targets like trees, poles, or baskets. It’s a great way for guests to explore the area while testing their aim in a relaxed and social atmosphere.

Shuffleboard

Who says shuffleboard is just for indoor use? Portable outdoor courts make it easy to bring this classic game to your brewery. Players use long cues to slide pucks down the court, aiming to score points by landing in marked areas. Shuffleboard is easy to learn and provides a fun, conversational activity that’s perfect for groups. Its unexpected presence outdoors will make it a delightful surprise for your customers.

A great brewery serves more than just fantastic beer—with the right outdoor brewery games, you can keep your customers coming back with your unforgettable atmosphere! Whether your customers are there to sip slowly or laugh loudly over a competitive match of cornhole, these games bring the energy and excitement your brewery needs. Set up the boards, grab the ladders, and watch as your outdoor space becomes the talk of the town (or city).
