Beer Money

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars out of five, writing that "what takes this song past ordinary is Moore's grave vocals and story-telling ability."[2] Matt Bjorke of Roughstock also gave the song a favorable review, calling it "another strong mood-setting, sing-a-long ready country/rocker."[3] In 2017, Billboard contributor Chuck Dauphin placed "Beer Money" at number one on his top 10 list of Moore's best songs.[4]

The accompanying music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered in September 2012.[5] The video starts with Moore playing a mechanic who gets into an argument with his boss (played by Moore's real-life manager Shawn McSpadden).[6] It then follows him picking up his girlfriend from a diner and taking her to a late night barn party where he performs. The video also follows a group of men stealing a keg from a beer delivery truck driver and taking it to said party. It was nominated for Breakthrough Video of the Year at the 2013 CMT Music Awards but it went to Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise".[7]
