Pop the Cork: New Year’s Bingo, Music Bingo & Year-In-Review Trivia at Elicit

Not ready for a big New Year’s party but still want something fun to do? Elicit Brewing is turning New Year’s week into a laid-back celebration with Bingo, Music Bingo, Year-In-Review Trivia, cold beer, and great prizes.

New Year’s week has a weird kind of energy. You’re not fully done with the year yet, but you’re already ready to celebrate it. Work is winding down. Group chats are active again. Everyone’s looking for something fun to do that doesn’t involve dressing up or committing to a full-blown party.

That’s exactly where New Year’s Bingo, Music Bingo, and Year-In-Review Trivia at Elicit Brewing come in.

All week long, we’re turning regular nights into reasons to hang out. Games, prizes, cold beer, and the kind of crowd that’s here to laugh more than compete. Whether you came in because you searched for beer near me or because your friend said, “trust me,” you’re in the right place.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through what’s happening, how each game works, and why Elicit is the easiest yes on your New Year’s week plans.

New Year’s Bingo: Familiar, Fun, and Way Better With Beer

Everyone knows how Bingo works. That’s part of the charm. You grab a card. You listen. You mark your squares. You sip your beer. You slowly realize you’re more invested than you expected to be.

New Year’s Bingo at Elicit takes that classic formula and adds just enough festive chaos to make it feel fresh. It’s casual, social, and easy to jump into, even if you walk in mid-round.

You’ll play for:

  • Free beer
  • Exclusive Elicit merch
  • A few fun surprises along the way

Bingo runs all week leading up to New Year’s Eve, so you don’t have to plan your entire night around it. Show up, grab a drink, grab a card, and see what happens.

Music Bingo: For People Who Know the Song Before the Chorus

Music Bingo is where things get loud in the best way. Instead of numbers, you’re listening to songs. Short clips with all genres, old favorites, and obviously new hits. The kind of playlist that has at least one song everyone argues about.

At Music Bingo at Elicit, knowing your music helps, but enthusiasm helps more. Sing along if you want. Trash talk to your friends if you must. Sip your beer while you wait for that one song you’re absolutely sure is coming next.

You can win:

  • Drink specials
  • Free merch
  • Bragging rights for the rest of the night

Music Bingo runs on select nights leading up to New Year’s, and it’s always a crowd favorite. If you like your beer with a soundtrack, this one’s for you.

Year-In-Review Trivia: How Much of 2025 Do You Actually Remember?

Some things you’ll remember instantly. Others will make you say, “Wait, that was THIS year?” That’s the fun of Year-In-Review Trivia at Elicit.

The questions cover it all:

  • Pop culture
  • Sports
  • News
  • Internet moments you forgot existed

You don’t need to be a trivia genius. You just need a team, a beer, and a willingness to guess confidently.

Top teams can win:

  • Exclusive Elicit swag
  • Beer specials
  • A solid reason to celebrate after

Trivia pops up during the last week of December, making it the perfect excuse to gather everyone one more time before the year officially ends.

One Week, Multiple Games, Zero Pressure

Why choose just one night? New Year’s week at Elicit is built so you can come once or come often. Every night has something happening, and no two nights feel the same.

Here’s the general flow:

  • Monday-Tuesday: Bingo and Trivia
  • Wednesday: Brew Year’s Eve
  • Thursday: New Year’s Day

Add in a rotating tap list of craft beers, festive pours, and cocktails, and you’ve got a full week of reasons to stop by.

If you’re searching for “craft beer near me” and want something actually happening when you arrive, this is it.

Let’s Talk Prizes (Because Yes, They’re Good)

Winning is fun. Winning something tangible is better. Across Bingo, Music Bingo, and Trivia, you can score:

You don’t need to dominate every round. One good game can turn into a very good night.
