A beer mat having a compact disc and a beer-mat body, whereby the main surface of the beer-mat body has been provided with a flat recess, whose depth corresponds at least to the thickness of the compact disc, but less than the thickness of the beer-mat body outside of the recess, whereby the compact disc has been inserted into the recess, and with a cover film overspanning the recess and bonded to the main surface of the beer-mat cover outside of the recess, and whereby the perimeter line of the cover film runs outside of the perimeter line of the recess but within the perimeter line of the beer-mat body, so that a ring absorption area is formed.
