What is Beer Choir?
Beer Choir is a national singing movement founded by composer Michael Engelhardt in 2015. If you like beer, and you like singing, you’ll love Beer Choir. All are welcome to join in with the proprietary Beer Choir Hymnal, a songbook of 40 drinking song classics, original works, and favorite melodies updated with irreverent lyrics. Beer Advocate Magazine notes “ [this] merry band of vocal enthusiasts have tapped into something deeper and broader than expected.”
This isn’t like your traditional choir - if you show up the night of a Beer Choir event, you ARE the choir! No singing experienced required, just come and sing, drink, and laugh together!
