Drinkers from across the Valley spent the evening of Friday, August 15, going for the gold and seeking the sweet taste of victory during the first annual
New Times Beer Olympics at
Tempe Marketplace. Crews of festive brew-lovers, many of whom were dressed in costume, enjoyed ales and pilsners while competing in gonzo challenges like tricycle racing, inflatable bowling, and giant Jenga (not to mention popular bar games like beer pong, flip cup relays, and quarters) for medals and prizes during the event.
