This bottle chess set is made from Murano glass and is on sale at Christie's the famous auction house.
I suspect that this one using mini liquor bottles is more like what you had in mind.
If you use real beer bottles, you will need a very big board.

We used to play this game at College in the late 60's. It was called Chess handicap.
If you took a piece you had to drink it, hence the handicap. it gradually reduced the good players to the level of the rest. By the end of the knockout round, you got some very unusual games in the later stages of the tournament.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Talking of chess.
Here is a set that might enhance any 18th century captain's cabin.
