German term or phrase: bierig
"Bieriges" Golfvergnügen am XY Golfplatz

Ich übersetze regelmäßig Presseaussendungen eines internationalen Bierkonzern und immer wieder kommen Wortspiele mit bierig vor (vielleicht weil's so ähnlich klingt wie bärig). Bisher fand ich immer eine Lösung, aber diesmal geht's um eine Überschrift, und mir will nichts einfallen, das nicht umständlich lang ist.
Ach ja, in diesem Fall war der Bierbrauer der Sponsor eines VIP Golfturniers

PS: just saw some Google typos talking of \"bierdies\" which might be an excellent pun in German language. It could also work in English, although to a lesser extent: i.e. BEERDIES. Thus the title might be
\"BEERDIE FUN!\"

beer-tastic


Explanation:
I know, it's terrible. But then, Collins just included words like "chavtastic" in its dictionary, so why not?

1,500 Google hits for beer-tastic, by the way.

19 holes of top-class golf at


Explanation:
The bar at a golf course is commonly known as the 19th hole. Perhaps you could play around with that. It's probably not "top-class golf" either, but I'm sure you'll find something better.
