Come 20 May, and Pune would be in the grip of the most outrageous event – the Doolally Beer Olympics.

For people who believe that beer drinking is a legitimate athletic pursuit and champions of this sport should be celebrated as heroes, Doolally Beer Olympics is where you should be this Saturday. “Real Life” athleticism like downing a pint of beer in 5 seconds flat or boarding the Virar fast train aspiring to get off at Andheri (if that is even possible!), is seldom recorded, even less rewarded. So, for all those people who are champions of such feats, make your way to the Doolally Beer Olympics in Pune. The celebration consists of multiple beer related events in which teams compete to win the greatest reward a beer athlete can aspire for – The Golden Mug!

So, if you profess your undying love for beer, then it is time to come out and stake a claim to be recognized as a bonafide beer athlete. This year, there are games that will test your mental, physical and verbal skills – under the influence, of course! There’s Beer Jenga, Fletter, Darts, Pong and the all-time favorite, Chug Relay!

To participate, you need a team of four and Rs. 8000, coming down to Rs. 2000 per head. And then some drunken determination. For this, you get a Beer Olympic kit, five games, a snack box and two liters of beer. Plus, you get a shot at winning the Doolally Beer in all the five games + an awesome grand prize + and some more beer!

For teams in Mumbai, there is The Doolally Wagon (an AC bus) from Doolally Bandra to Corinthians and back for Rs. 800 per head. No drink and drive, it is important to stay safe and keep others safe too.

The prize up for grabs is no less than about 10 liters beer plus the great big Golden Mug!

The Olympics Beer here is the light-bodied and easy-drinking, no-nonsense beer brewed specifically for these Olympics. It is a pale ale, handcrafted by their German brewmaster from imported German malts.

So, what are you waiting for? Go make it to the Olympics, it won’t happen again till next year!
