A beer hat (sometimes called a beer helmet) is a plastic baseball hat or football helmet attached to which are two can-holders, from which beer is consumed through a specialized plastic tube that runs from the person's mouth up along the hat and branching off into both containers. Soda and water are customarily consumed through this hat as well. In the United States, they are often worn at sporting events or during Spring Break. They are usually sold in prank stores and are not considered a normal type of clothing.

Beer helmets have been popularized in American culture, particularly by cartoons. In The Simpson's episode Saturdays of Thunder, Homer Simpson can be seen watching TV in which one can see a beer helmet.

There are also instances of an item similar to a beer helmet used for different purposes. In an episode of Spongebob Squarepants entitled One Krab's Trash, Spongebob purchases a novelty soda drink hat from Mr. Krabs. This soda drinking hat is similar to what we know as a beer helmet.
