The Top 10 Beer Universe Songs

By RJ | February 4, 2010 | 7 Comments

We posted something around our social media outlets (facebook & twitter) over the past weeks, asking what were the best beer songs out there—well, we decided to dig a bit deeper. All beer lovers know that one of the best ways to enjoy a brew is with some good company, good food, and most importantly, good music. Our beloved beverage makes appearances in songs of all genres, so regardless of what kind of music you enjoy, sit back, crack open your favorite beer, and fire up that stereo as we take you through 10 of our favorite beer-drinking songs around!

We’ve included the lyrics below from the excerpts of the songs, but feel free to let us know if we missed anything…

10. Black Flag - Six Pack
Thirty-five dollars and a six-pack to my name,
Spent the rest on beer so who's to blame,
They say I'm fucked up all the time,
What they do is a waste of time

I know it'll be ok
I got a six-pack in me, alright!

9. Sublime - 40 oz. to Freedom
Damn, I shouldn't start that talk,
But life is one big question when you're staring at the clock,
And the answer's always waiting at the liquor store
40 oz to freedom, so I'll take that walk.

8. John Lee Hooker - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
Well my baby she gone, she been gone two night
I ain't seen my baby since night before last
I wanna get drunk till I'm off of my mind
One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer

7. Memphis Slim - Beer Drinkin' Woman
Now I walked into a beer tavern
To give a girl a nice time
When I entered I had forty-five dollars
When I left I had one dime
Wasn't that a beer drinkin' woman
Don't you know, man don't you know
She was a beer drinkin' woman
I don't want to see her no more

6. Reel Big Fish - Beer
And if I get drunk, well, I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
And if you're drinkin', well, you know
That you're my friend and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer

5. George Thorogood - I Drink Alone
Now, every morning, just before breakfast,
I don't want no coffee or tea.
Just me and my good buddy Weiser,
That's all I ever need.

4. The Tragically Hip - Little Bones
Two-fifty for a highball,
And a buck and a half for a beer
Happy hour, happy hour
Happy hour is here.

3. The Doors - Roadhouse Blues
Well, I woke up this morning,
And I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain,
And the end is always near

2. America - Sandman
Funny I've been there, and you've been here
We ain't had no time to drink that beer

And of course, no list of beer songs would be complete without -

1. Weird Al Yankovic - The Beer Song
What is the malted liquor? (beer!)
What gets you drunker quicker? (beer!)
What comes in bottles or in cans? (beer!)
Can't get enough of it (beer!)
How we really love it, (beer!)
Makes me think I'm a man (beer!)
I could kiss and hug it (beer!)
But I'd rather chug it (beer!)
Got my belly up to here (beer!)
I could not refuse a (beer!)
I could really use a beer, beer, beer....
