Funny beer puns and related quotes have been documented since man received inspiration from imbibing those first ever fermented beverages which were developed some 12,000 years ago.
Well, perhaps not quite that long ago, since actual documented writing has only been around about half that time, but surely beer quotes have been spoken since the evolution of beer at the very least.
Nevertheless, it’s quite true that people have been finding inspiration and sprouting out wondrous and hilarious quotes about beer for a very long time. Beer has been the basis for many famous (and infamous) names to write quotes about, and there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of great beer puns put there.
Almost anyone who enjoys beer has had something to say about it and whilst all of these beer puns might not be 100% accurate they are our favourites nonetheless.
In this blog post we bring together 29 of our all-time favourite beer puns from names such as Abraham Lincoln, Homer Simpson and Queen Elizabeth the 1st.
