A Beeramid is a pyramid made from discarded beer cans.

Often found in places frequented by drinkers, a large beeramid was often a monument to the local party scene. Inspired by films such as National Lampoon's Animal House during the heyday of party culture, beeramids were most frequently seen during the late 1970s, the 1980s, and the early '90s, and could often be found in frat houses, dorms, and other collegiate locations throughout the US, as well as at so-called white trash dwellings and other places where canned beer was consumed in volume. Beeramids were rarely erected in commercial establishments, however, due to the potential impedance to service and possible liability of the owners.

Beeramids were often built as empty beer cans became available, slowly growing as the night (or week or month) wore on. In most cases, though, a beeramid was a temporary structure, eventually giving way to the inevitable clean-up or accidental destruction. The impermanence of the beeramid structure lends itself to easily removing the structure from wherever it has grown; combined with the great ease of creating a structure of relatively impressive size, beeramids remain popular today, especially when one considers it is often easier to contribute an empty beer can to the beeramid, than it is to deposit the can in the appropriate recycling receptacle.

'Beeramid' is also the name of a drinking game, which involves laying 15 cards out in a pyramid, and drinking based on the cards laid out.
