Cornhole finally on California beaches

Boys and Girls Club get Ballast Point and Latitude 33 to bring suds

Even at the American Cornhole Championships, players commonly have a beer in one hand. (Chris Brake)

During summer, especially in the Midwest, one can usually find a game of cornhole (tossing a corn-filled sack onto a tilted plank) in progress at the local park. During winter, it is played indoors where there enough room for the 27 feet between player and board. The game has finally found California beaches – but with one caveat; it’s hard to find a beach here that allows drinking beer.

It seems that beer and corhhole, for the adult players anyhow, go hand in hand.
