WIn trick-taking card games such as bridge, the beer card is a name informally given to the seven of diamonds. Players may agree that if a player wins the last trick of a hand with the 7♦, their partner must buy them a beer.

This practice likely originates from Danish Tarok or Skat in the middle of the 20th century.
