The Beer Card

The Beer Card is the 7. It is not part of the official rules of Bridge, but there is a tradition among some (typically younger) players that if the declarer succeeds in making the contract and wins the last trick with the 7, dummy must buy the declarer a beer of the declarer's choice. In the same way, if the opponents defeat the contract and one of them wins the last trick with the 7, the opponent who wins the last trick is bought a beer by the other opponent.

A fuller explanation is provided by the Bridge Guys.
