If you enjoy a good game of beer pong, but find that hauling around a regulation size ping pong table is a pain in the ass, then you need take a whiff of what Pong A Long is cooking. Their portable 8′ long by 2′ wide (regulation size) beer pong table is the cat’s ass.

We Tasty Boozers were fortunate enough to have one of these bad boys delivered to our humble abode last Wednesday. Lucky for us we were headed up to the mountains for a weekend of winter sports and beer drinking along with 25 of our closest friends. This gave us the perfect opportunity to put the table through the paces and see how it functioned in a packed, party cabin environment.

One thing you have to realize is that the Pong A Long table folds up into a 2′ by 2′ square that is about 5.5″ thick with briefcase type handles. This makes it a breeze to transport. It fit in the backseat of my lady friend’s car, and was easy to carry from place to place. Not many people knew that the table was going to be making an appearance at the party cabin and when I showed up everyone wanted to know what the big white box was. They were stoked to find out it was a beer pong table. The best part was that everyone assumed we needed a table to set it on. A few of our crafty friends started to debate whether we should set it on the kitchen table or the pool table. I left them to their pointless shenanigans and began to unfold the beast. When I started to extend the legs of the table there were at least five, “Oh…Holy shit is has legs!” I promptly responded with “Of course it has fuckin’ legs. What kind of bush league beer pong table did you think I showed up with?”

The table worked great but let’s be honest, when you have 25 people looking to get drunk, two on two beer pong isn’t the best/quickest way to accomplish the task. So after a couple of standard beer pong games we decided to appease the restless crowd and start a flip cup tournament. The length and width of the table allowed two four-man flip cup teams to square off face to face with room to spare lengthwise and the perfect amount of shit talking space separating them.

So, the Pong A Long table really gives you at a minimum a double threat beer drinking accessory, not to mention it will save your regular ping pong table from the abuse of a beer pong/Beirut/flip cup game. Check out the product page to see more pictures and the other tables that Pong A Long offers.

SIDENOTE:
Here is my favorite exchange from the flip cup tournament:

Girl 1: We are going to be team Mustaches.
Girl 2 (member of an opposing team): How about team Dirty Sanchez.
Girl 1: I don’t even like poop.

    I think the standard shipping rate is $25 and the rush shipping price is about $50.
