Beer league

This article is about the kind of recreational league. For the film, see Artie Lange's Beer League.

Beer leagues (North America) are amateur adult sports leagues of varying abilities, from ex-pro to complete amateur, with differing degrees of competitiveness.[1] Beer league players go out of their way to declare their autonomy from their professional counterparts to allow freedom to reinvent the sport as a player-friendly cooperative entity.[2] Each beer league determines the level and intensity of its play.[2]
