Bowling and beer have been long-time allies. More than 69 million<\/a> Americans go bowling each year, according to the United States Bowling Congress, the sport\u2019s governing body in the United States. As bowling alleys look to attract customers, some recognize that offering a variety of local craft beers is a win-win.<\/p>\n

\u201cBowling and beer have always gone hand-in-hand, and if you\u2019re drinking beer, it should be fresh, local craft,\u201d says Brian Bailey, accounts manager at Southern Brewing Company<\/a> in Athens, Georgia.<\/p>\n

From the South to the Rockies to the Great Lakes, we found a handful of bowling alleys who are offering a notable selection of beers from small and independent craft breweries. In fact, a few are even brewery\/bowling alley combos!<\/p>\n

Showtime Bowl | Athens, GA<\/h2>\n

With 32 lanes, Showtime<\/a> doesn\u2019t mess around when it comes to bowling. Not only is this a bowler\u2019s paradise, it\u2019s also a treasure for beer lovers. It offers libations from the 11th<\/sup> Pin, a restaurant inside the bowling alley, which boasts an extensive craft beer menu, including those from local breweries like Southern Brewing Co. and Creature Comforts<\/a> Brewing Co. From Southern Brewing\u2019s perspective, being available at the bowling alley has been an effective way to introduce its beer to people in the community who haven\u2019t heard of the brewery, Bailey says. Meanwhile, \u201cWe believe our beers should be enjoyed anywhere folks are wanting to deepen their experience or their connection to one another through beer,\u201d says Dan Reingold, director of field marketing for Creature Comforts, adding that its Classic City Lager is always a huge hit with the bowling crowd.<\/p>\n

Town Hall Lanes | Minneapolis<\/h2>\n

Town Hall Lanes in Minneapolis is also the state’s most-medaled brewery at GABF. (Town Hall Lanes)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Town Hall Brewery<\/a> prides itself on being the most winning brewery in Minnesota, picking up more medals at the Great American Beer Festival than any other brewery in the state. Sip one of its beers and perhaps that luck will rub off on you when you take to its 10-lane bowling alley. \u201cThe brewery\u2019s owner was an avid bowler and saw things he believed he could do better, especially with service at a bowling alley, and decided to buy one when it was the right place,\u201d says Mehtab Taylor, Town Hall Lanes\u2019 general manager. Along with 11 guest taps, Town Hall features 14 of its own taps, including the Super Strike Lager, created specifically for bowlers and the only beer at the alley served in pitchers (with its own special glass).<\/p>\n

Stardust Lanes | Saginaw, MI<\/h2>\n

Cosmic bowling, anyone? With its black lights and light show, not to mention jumbo projection screens for its music videos, Stardust delivers a high-energy bowling experience. Suffice to say that its 31 lanes aren\u2019t the only thing that will blow you away. So, too, will its tap list<\/a> with more than 40 craft beers on the menu, most of them from Michigan.<\/p>\n

URGE | San Marcos, CA<\/h2>\n

When you get the urge for beer, burgers and bowling, there\u2019s only one place to go in San Marcos. While bowling is the main attraction here, URGE also houses Mason Ale Works<\/a>. The beer list features five of the brewery\u2019s creations, as well as six guest beers on draft.<\/p>\n

Enix Beer | Homestead, PA<\/h2>\n

Enix Beer<\/a> is a brewpub and bowling alley combo in the Pittsburgh area. You can sip beer at the brewery four days a week and its eight-lane bowling alley is open only on Fridays and Saturdays.<\/p>\n

Southport Lanes & Billiards | Chicago<\/h2>\n

This bowling alley<\/a> may not be a brewery itself, but it\u2019s housed in a building that Schlitz Brewing erected around 1900, and it has a colorful history. This popular entertainment venue features four hand-set lanes — that means there are two pin-setters in back putting the pins back up every turn\u00a0 — and 30 draft taps with favorite Chicago breweries like Half Acre Beer Co.<\/a> and Burnt City Brewing<\/a>. \u201cSouthport Lanes isn\u2019t just a great vintage bowling alley but also a neighborhood bar,\u201d says Amy Jones, marketing director for Burnt City. \u201cIf people discover our beer at Southport and then buy in their corner store or visit the beer hall, that\u2019s fantastic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snow Bowl Steamboat | Steamboat Springs, CO<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no better reward after a day on the slopes than a beer. Why not make it a unique experience and pair it with bowling? Since the mid 1970s, Snow Bowl<\/a> has been a Steamboat Springs favorite, but it\u2019s been recently renovated and features 12 new lanes, outdoor beer garden, large screen TVs (including Steamboat\u2019s biggest at 180 inches) and happy hour. Its draft beer list includes two beers each from Butcherknife Brewing<\/a> and Storm Peak Brewing<\/a>, two breweries less than a mile away. \u201cBecause of these renovations and the great new menu that pairs well with locally crafted beer, it was a no brainer to be part of Snow Bowl,\u201d says Zach Patterson, co-owner of Storm Peak. One of the favorites there? Storm Peak\u2019s Maestro IPA.<\/p>\n

Craft beer and bowling? It sounds like a winning combination to us, especially if you\u2019re a brewery looking to expand your reach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
