FAQ
What's a short, clever beer pun for Instagram?
"Hoppy hour has arrived" or "Sun's out, pints out" both work as one-line captions under almost any beer photo.
Do beer puns work better with emojis?
A single beer or cheers emoji at the end reads fine; stacking three or four makes the caption look like it's trying too hard.
