Hey, kids, what time is it?!? It’s spring break, baby. And this time of year means lots of irresponsible drinking. But how do you make chugging easier for the masses? The answer is the Chug N’ Plug beer shotgunning tool from Greenlife Technologies. Yes, this is a TECHNOLOGY.
This little keychain gadget is simple to use and gets the beer flowing instantly. All you have to do is punch the sharp plastic point through a can of beer all the way to the hilt. That’s when the party starts. It’s a beer impaler. So if your beer turns into a vampire you will be ready.
The $5 plugs come in black, red, yellow, and green, and come with a keychain and rubber cover. One thing I don’t quite understand is why are they showing this thing in a can of water? Whoa! Calm down you party animal. That’s way too much hydration too fast. Are you crazy? That’s just irresponsible. Your poor liver!
Meet Dogfish Head SuperEIGHT, a Gose beer created in collaboration with Kodak. Why would Kodak be involved with beer you ask? Well, this beer has the perfect pH to develop film when you add some ingredients.
If you happen to be in need of developing some Super 8 film, you can now drink and develop to your heart’s content. The beer is brewed with eight ingredients that include prickly pear, mango, boysenberry, blackberry, raspberry, elderberry, kiwi juices, toasted quinoa and an ample addition of red Hawaiian sea salt. And that’s how it gets its vibrant red color.
By combining the beer with vitamin C, baking soda, and a couple of Kodak development chemicals, it’s able to develop Super 8 film just fine. Just be careful not to drink the beer after developing the film. You can check out a video right here of a trip to Philadelphia that was processed with the beer.
Is there anything that beer can’t do? And my second question is why this needed to be invented. Who thought of this? Are Super 8 film photographers drunk? I have no idea. I think I’ll just stick to Photoshop, and pretend that the beer in my hand is actually helping my project.
You know I always thought that the Lucky Charms leprechaun seemed a little drunk. Hey, if you drink enough you’re gonna be seeing pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers, and blue diamonds everywhere. This Lucky Charms inspired beer is exactly what he would drink.
C’mon you know this little dude was hopped up on something. Back in the ’80s, all of the cereal mascots were on something.
Norfolk, Virginia based Smartmouth Brewing Company’s Saturday Morning IPA probably should not be a part of a nutritious breakfast on Saturday mornings when watching cartoons. This Lucky Charms inspired beer is actually brewed with cereal marshmallow bits. The 6.6% ABV brew will be available for a limited time before Saint Patrick’s Day, but only in Virginia at select bars, restaurants, and beer stores.
Smartmouth says the IPA is “..brewed with in-house toasted marshmallows and bulk dehydrated-marshmallow-bits. It has been hopped and dry-hopped with Galaxy and Calypso hops. The nose is sweet and citrus, with orange and pear aromas. It has a soft pillowy body with a slight cereal taste. The result is magically ridiculous!”
I guess they say that that’s because they can’t legally say that “it’s magically delicious,” even if the beer actually is.
It’s 2019, and ordinary beer bongs just won’t cut it. Gravity just doesn’t deliver beer fast enough for some people. That’s why we now have the Q-bong pressurized beer bong, a device designed to shoot beer down the throat of its recipient faster than ever.
All you have to do is fill the reservoir with up to 32-ounces of beer, pump the air bulb to your desired beer-pressure, press the trigger valve and get to chugging. Isn’t college fun? Now it’s a little less fun because it’s so convenient to chug all by yourself with no one helping.
Is it called the Q-Bong because some guy in British intelligence who invents gadgets for a living came up with this? I have no idea, but I can tell you that the guy in the video looks like Ryan Reynolds demonstrating this device. And just as I thought, he doesn’t look like he’s having a lot of fun chugging from this thing. Calling it now, this thing kills parties dead. Oh look, there’s so and so over there chugging by himself in the corner from what is essentially a juice box of beer. No one likes that guy.
I like how the video also cuts off right before he chugs. Because he can’t. Because he’s clearly too old for college.
LG is a name best known for their TVs, smartphones, and other consumer electronics, but now the company has a machine that will make beer in your home. It’s like a Keurig, but for beer. Now we have your attention.
Earlier this month, LG announced a capsule-based craft beer system called HomeBrew. It’s a countertop system that aims to make brewing beer at home as simple as dropping single-use capsules into the machine and hitting the start button.
The machine has an optimized fermentation algorithm that “intelligently controls the fermenting process with precise temperature and pressure control”. This makes sure that it brews perfectly every single time. There’s also no mess thanks to a self-cleaning feature automatically sanitizes key components with hot water to make sure that everything is hygienic.
It’s almost as easy as making coffee, though the fermentation process means it won’t be nearly as fast. It will take about two weeks or so depending on the beer type. Five beers will be offered initially, including a hoppy American IPA, a golden American Pale Ale, a full-bodied English Stout, a zesty Belgian-style Witbier and a dry Czech Pilsner.
LG will be showing off the HomeBrew during CES 2019. Pricing and a release date have yet to be announced.
Given the phenomenal popularity of craft beers and ales sweeping bars across the globe, it's surprising that homebrewing hasn't yet taken off to the same levels. Sure, we've seen a number of systems touting the trend -- Picobrew and Brewie are two th...
