Accessing class method without calling the class into a variable php

Question

Is it possible to use a classes methods without actually calling the class into a variable. I am sure i have seen this somewhere but i'm not sure if i was dreaming.

Take this example:

<?php
namespace proj;
class beer{
  public function whichIsBest(){
     return 'Not cheap stuff';
  }
}

Include the file start the class but then how can i get to the whishIsBest method without calling the class into a variable first.

<?php
include 'beerClass.php';
new \proj\beer();
echo \proj\beer()->whichIsBest

Or is this just not possible and I was actually dreaming?

You probably saw a static function.
