It would be fun if there were an option to recognize the beer card somehow. Maybe even to track how often a user achieves the beer card.

Oh, I thought this was going to be about Paul Gipson's Beer Card
Better luck in the Winter Foursomes next year.

You would need some authority to decide on the specific rules.

I'm just happy to accept the beer.

I've long wanted to see popups for wish tricks and winning the beer, but not enough to mention it to the application developers. I don't think there's much point in making it more elaborate, like keeping track of them over time.

On the other hand, it may be better to rely on the player to notice it. Do we really want to reward winning the beer by accident? The real skill is in making and achieving a plan to win it.

Wish tricks tend to be pure luck, though.

Did anyone ever really win the beer card by accident?
Seems so unlikely that it is worthy of a special prize.
