Can Grip Turns Your Canned Drink Into A Mug


I hate canned drinks. My hands are already clammy to begin with, so I don’t need no cold beer to drench it. That’s why the Can Grip sounds like a godsend, giving that inconvenient vessel mug-like handling powers.
Designed to snap onto standard 12oz cans, the contraption not only adds a plastic handle for your gross-sounding Watermelon Wheat Beer, it also appends a coaster at the bottom of the can. No more wet palms and no more rings on the coffee table. Those benefits are so awesome even the wife will approve.
The Can Grip is a single-piece plastic device that clips to the top edge of your can and cradles the bottom, giving a stein-like handle that lets you grip your drink with utmost comfort. That means you can down your way out of a six-pack with class, while everyone wrangles each can with their fingers [...]

Tactical Nuclear Penguin is The World’s Strongest Beer, Comes With 32% Alcohol Content

Seriously, you call a 7% alcohol content beer “strong”?   Prepare to blush in shame with one swig of the Tactical Nuclear Penguin, an “uber-imperial” stout with almost enough kick as your favorite whiskey.
Introduced by BrewDog, the unusually potent brew is as much a collector’s concoction as it is an exercise in decadence.  Forget about gobbling bottles upon bottles of brewskies – it’s intended to be “enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance.”  The first is probably a good idea, while the rest is unnecessary marketing spout.  Still, kinda gives you a hint about the type of recreational drink you’re looking at.

The Tactical Nuclear Penguin starts off as a 10% imperial stout that’s been carefully prepared for consumption through an 18-month stretch.  It spends over eight months aging in a whiskey cask, another eight plus months in an Islay cask and a little under three weeks in [...]

Craigerator Fire And Ice: Even Kegerators Work Best With An iPod

Food always tastes better with ketchup.  All pieces of home electronics and furnishings, on the other hand, simply work better with an iPod.  Even kegerators.  If you have any doubts, just take a gander at the Craigerator Fire and Ice, a custom, one-off kegerator with an integrated iPod dock and speaker system.
Commissioned by Keystone Light Beer, the “made for iPod” beer dispenser (the second one in the picture) was given away as part of the grand prize for FHM Magazine’s Pimp My Pad contest.  Just as the description suggests, the full-size kegerator serves as much beer and music as your manhood can handle.
To produce the Fire and Ice, creator Craig Jones stripped an old fridge apart, putting it through various processing stages, including sandblasting, powder coating and repainting.  The finished set includes a new compressor, updated environmental freon and high-density foam insulation.  For the snazzy appearance, he threw in custom-fabricated [...]

ArKeg Arcade System Puts Both Games And Beer On Tap

Playing games is fun. Getting drunk is just as entertaining. Playing games while getting drunk, however, makes all the lonely nights go away… forever. Just ask anyone who’s bought the Arkeg, an arcade-style game machine with a tap that pumps free-flowing beer for a jolly, old time.
Not a complex machine by any means, the Arkeg houses a five gallon keg with a dispensing system and a functional game-ready PC. Stored inside the cabinet of the arcade box, the keg can be pre-filled with your choice of 55 different brands, including microbrews, that the company supports. Once you’ve run out of the sweet, sweet stuff, you can simply order another batch for delivery.
The PC, on the other hand, appears to be a regular gaming computer. It comes pre-installed with 69 classic console games on ROM, with the ability to run any title designed for DOS [...]

Okhotsk Blue Draft Is Beer Made From Melted Icebergs

One of the benefits of global warming and the ice caps melting is that the Japanese get to enjoy really good beer. Why let all that icy water go to waste, after all?
The Okhotsk Blue Draft is one of the most unique beers around, counting a couple of unusual ingredients into its mix. Chief among its odd sources is water from melted icebergs that float to the Hokkaido beaches from the Sea of Okhotsk, an area in the Pacific Ocean near both Japan and Russia.
The soothing blue color, of course, isn’t because of the sea water. I think you have to be in third grade to still believe that. Instead, Abashiri Brewery achieved the attractive hue by adding blue seaweed into the mix.
Will ice water from the sea really make beer better? I doubt it. Although, that sure makes drinking a bottle a heck [...]
