Jägermeister 6-Bottle Shot Cooler

Sunday, August 30th, 2009
Jägermeister 6-Bottle Shot CoolerFrom Uncrate: "Ever wish you could take a Jägermeister shot machine with you camping, tailgating, and partying? Now you can, with the Jägermeister 6-Bottle Shot Cooler ($120). Available as a six-bottle value..."

At least you'll have ice for the massive hangover you experience the next morning.

Hangover Cures

Friday, August 21st, 2009
Hangover CuresFrom Uncrate: "Everyone over does it every once in a while, and when you do, Hangover Cures ($10) will be there to help. Weighing in at a short but sweet 62 pages..."

Can't miss cure from yours truly: 2 eggs over easy, bacon, grilled english muffin and a Sprite.

Bacon Beer By Brooklyn Brewery Will Rule Them All

Sunday, August 16th, 2009
From The Gothamist: "At long last, Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster Garrett Oliver has heard the call of drunken gluttons and is developing a beer made with a special malt smoked in the same room with bacon made by 'the legendary' Allan Benton.

This is even better than the Dog Fish/Sierra announcement!!! There's more on this amazing story at NYtimes.com ("Either this will be the most amazingly disgusting thing you've ever tasted in your life. Or I shall rule the earth.")

Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada Brewing form epic collaboration for Life & Limb

Saturday, August 15th, 2009
From Beernews.org: "This fall, independent craft brewers, Sierra Nevada Brewing and Dogfish Head, will release two collaborative beers. Limb & Life -a draft-only beer – will debut in October; with Life & Limb 24oz bottles and limited draft to follow in November."

This is the equivalent of a pig having sex with a cow and 9 months later a bacon cheeseburger pops out.

A blue beer called Okhotsk Blue

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009
From NotCot.com: "Japan recently lauched a blue beer called Okhotsk Blue. The brew is made using water melted from icebergs that float each year onto Hokkaido beaches from the chilly Sea of Okhotsk..."

I'd try any beer once, even if its blue. Speaking of which, what actually makes the beer blue? I doubt its the icebergs.

The Book of Beer Pong

Saturday, August 1st, 2009
The Book of Beer PongFrom Uncrate: "Nothing like an argument over beer pong rules to drag down a party atmosphere, so settle your disputes with authority using The Book of Beer Pong: The Official Guide to the Sport of Champions ($12)..."

Hmmm... a rule book for a drinking game seems a bit too "official."

Beer-in-a-Box Coming This Fall

Friday, July 31st, 2009
From Gizmodo: "The $20, 1.5-gallon boxes of beer are designed for the paradoxical beer drinkers who prefer their beer to come from the tap but also don't care if said beer is actually good. They're currently testing boxes of Miller Lite and Coors Lite in a few cities and will expand it to nationwide this football season if all goes well... 1.5 gallons is equal to 16 bottles. So you'll be paying $1.25 per bottle for your shit beer, which is more expensive than buying a 12-pack of bottles."

Sadly, I've been known to partake in cheap beer on occasion, but I don't see why anyone would buy this if it wasn't cheaper than cans or bottles.

Mayonnaise Jar & Two Beers

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Just got this in my email… good lessons:

“When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
