With just days to go before the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl, I still haven’t figured out where I will be watching the big game. The bf and I have toyed with the idea of having people over to our apartment to celebrate the end of the 2008/2009 NFL season. In doing a little research on what throwing one of these parties takes, I went right to my favorite how-to magazine’s Web site – RealSimple.com. I stumbled across games to play during the game, fun and easy snacks to serve that will make anyone’s mouth water, and even a decorating tip or two. I also found a witty little list that pairs each NFL team with a beer that best represents its mascot or location. Check out the list below…if we do wind up hosting our own football extravaganza, I will take their suggestion and provide Iron City Beer and Beermann’s Rip Roarin’ Red Ale and let guests drink to support their team. Do you have any other (better) ideas to pair with your favorite team? Let me know. Enjoy the game and cheers!
