So my cornhole boards are finally finished… just in time for warmer weather! I began the project back in January when my friends got me a sweet wooden cornhole set for my birthday. The present wasn’t just a cornhole set though, it was a pair of 2×4 blank canvases with endless possibilities and a gift card to A.C. Moore.
I brainstormed with some friends to come up with a cool theme for the boards, to add an extra layer of rivalry to an already super competitive game. We thought about historical rivalries such as Coke vs. Pepsi… or Starbucks vs. Dunkin… or Giants vs. Cowboys… but no friend of mine would be caught dead tossing bean bags on behalf of Dallas. So, I decided to go with Kona Brewing Co, a mellow brand with excellent beers and island vibes.
I first fell in love with their ‘Big Wave” golden ale and then made my way through the rest of their products and unearthed their magical “Longboard Island Lager” as well. It was perfect because my two favorite beers came in red and blue and so did the bean bags from my set! I love the Hawaiian-based beer company and I’ve always LOVED the artwork on their packaging, so I thought it was the perfect rivalry. Hawaii, Beer, and competitive backyard games… does it get any better than that?
