There’s Nothing Sly About Sly Fox’s Topless Beer Cans

Posted on by

Topless Beer Can

Isn’t it a pain to drink beer or soda from a can and chug it down quickly so you can get to your next sip? You could use a glass, but then that would take some of the fizz out of your drink. The solution? Cans with tops that come off completely so you can sip your drink from the can as if it were a glass.

Not many companies are doing this, but the Sly Fox Brewing Company is and we think it’s a great idea. Head brewer Brian O’Reilly explains that the modification “allows the full flavor and aroma of the beer to hit the drinker’s senses.” The special lid can only be found on the company’s Helles Golden Lager, which is available across their Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey distribution area.

Bierstick is Like a Beer Bong, Only It’s a Syringe and Requires One Person Only

Posted on by

Bierstick

Once you try the Bierstick, you won’t want to go back to the old beer bong. You can think of the Bierstick as a giant booze syringe. Just fill it up with beer (it can hold up to 24 oz!), prop one end against the wall (or a girl in her underwear, whatever floats your boat), and push.

As The Drink Nation explained, the Bierstick solves two problems for humanity when it comes to guzzling beer:

First, for those who do not have the time to wait for gravity-fed beer bongs to empty, this syringe design will get your buzz on faster by simply forcing it into you. Secondly, have you ever tried to use a beer bong when you are home alone? It’s like licking your elbow. Impossible.

The BierStick retails for $29.95.

Oculus founder: booze and Rift don’t mix

Oculus Rift cofounder

You know that rule about not drinking and operating heavy machinery at the same time? You can widen that common-sense topic to include not getting tooled up before strapping the Oculus Rift to your face. In conversation with Joystiq, company founder Palmer Luckey has mentioned that the nausea-inducing effects of virtual reality can, unsurprisingly, become magnified if you combine it with the demon drink. Hey, it's something to bear in mind before you lose your lunch.

Calling Chocoholics Anonymous: Now You Can Drink Chocolate Stout from this Chocolate Glass

Posted on by

Chocolate Beer and Glass

Beer and chocolate make for a surprisingly delicious combination. It might not sound very appealing, but don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Because once you have, I swear, you’ll be coming back for more. Japanese brewery Sankt Gallen is well aware of this, since they’ve been producing chocolate flavored stout for a while now.

However, they’ve decided to take things a notch further by offering a set that includes a bottle of their best-selling chocolate stout and an edible chocolate glass. Beer and chocolate aficionados are supposed to pour the stout into the glass and enjoy the flavorful drink while taking a few bites of chocolate in between.

Rocket News 24 asserts that the glass could counteract the bitterness of the “ultra-dark beer’ which was brewed “with over twice the ingredients of your average dark beer including roasted ‘chocolate malt.’”

The Best Way to Drink Chocolate Beer is From a Chocolate Glass

Posted on by

My life changed when I sipped a shot of Bailey’s mixed with chocolate liquor. I guess you could say that my life changed at that point, because I never liked the taste of alcohol nor appreciated it all – until that very moment.

Japanese brewery Sankt Gallen is no stranger to chocolate booze.

chocolate beer glassIn fact, they brew a damned good chocolate stout that’s about to get even better. Sankt Gallen’s newest offering is a special set which includes a 330mL bottle of their chocolate stout, along with a completely edible glass that’s made entirely out of chocolate.

Rocket News 24 is quick to explain that the chocolate glass might be able to counteract the bitterness of the the “ultra-dark beer”, which is apparently brewed “with over twice the ingredients of your average dark beer including roasted ‘chocolate malt.’”

Chocolate stout with a side of chocolate? Sounds good to me.

Brandy Smuggler Walking Cane Flask Helps You Stay Upright When You’ve Had Your Fill

Posted on by

Need a way to carry around your favorite booze without raising suspicion? As long as you’re not planning to use it to transport illegal substances, I think you’ll find the Brandy Smuggler Walking Cane perfect for your needs.

Obviously you don’t need to fill it with brandy. Pour in beer, ginger ale, shots of Patron, or even Diet Coke…. it’s up to you, although keep in mind that you won’t be able to keep your drinks at the desired temperature since you can’t exactly stuff your cane into the fridge – though you might be able to freeze a couple of the flasks to help keep the others cold.

Hidden within the cane are five 2-oz. flasks that are stacked one upon another on the inside. Just unscrew the top to gain access to your hidden chamber of drinks.

Of course, you’ll have to develop a sudden limp and practice so that you can successfully convince everyone around you that you need a cane to walk upright. But hey, anything to sneak your drinks in, right?

The Brandy Smuggler Walking Cane flask is priced at $69.95(USD).

Beertone: What Color is Your Beer-achute?

Posted on by

Hardcore beer drinkers who want to try every beer there is on the planet (or at least, a majority of them) will want to get their hands on a handy reference guide called Beertone. Its name is obviously a play on Pantone, which is behind one of the most widely used color matching systems used by many companies today.

beertone color guideBeertone folds out to provide colors of 202 different Swiss brews that were tested. The lightest beers start the guide, and it ends with the darkest ones. Each Beer will be presented with picture, description and of course its color information in RGB, CMYK, Web, and SRM (that’s the beer color scale).

The booze-guzzling guys behind the guide plan to expand their guide to feature beers from different parts of the world in the months and years to come.

Beertone is currently available for pre-order for $39(USD).

Wynkoop Beer is Brewed With Three BPB – That’s Three Balls-Per-Barrel

Posted on by

The sky’s the limit when it comes to food lately. People are coming up with all sorts of weird concoctions and food creations all the time, but none as decidedly strange as the Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout, which is actually stout that’s made with bull testicles.

Unsurprisingly, this unusual brew got its start as an April Fools prank. This brew is apparently made with “Colorado-grown base malts, roasted barley, seven specialty malts, sea salt, Styrian Goldings Hops and three BPBs.” And by BPBs, they mean ‘Balls-Per-Barrel.’ As for the taste, it’s got hints of “chocolate syrup, Kahlua and espresso, along with a palpable level of alcohol and a savory umami-like note.”

Doesn’t sound very appealing to me, especially the part about what goes into each barrel. However, if you’re up for drinking some bull balls, then you’ll be pleased to know that you can pick up a pack for about $7 a pack on Beerjobber.com.

Syringe Shooters Deliver Just What the Doctor Ordered for the New Year

Posted on by

Syringe Shots

Many believed that 2012 would spell the end of the world as we know it. However, we’re all still here, alive and kicking, with the new year upon us in just a matter of days. I have a lot to be thankful for this year, and I’m sure you do, too. But maybe we should all be most thankful for the fact that we’ve got another year ahead of us to make things right and do what we’ve always wanted to do so we wouldn’t have any regrets when or if the world does finally end.

The New Year is traditionally greeted with a bang, both indoors and outdoors. Firecrackers take care of the latter, while the former is comprised of free-flowing drinks and parties all around with the people who matter the most. What better way to toast to a new year than by drinking controlled amounts of booze in these Syringe Shooters–just like your doctor ordered. They come in a trio of syringes for thrice the fun and triple the merriment.

These Syringe Shooters are sold in sets of three for $15.95.

Booze-Infused Marshmallows Will Be Perfect for a Christmas Bonfire

Booze Marshmallows

If you live somewhere where the snow doesn’t fall, then here’s something you can do to stop the kids from clamoring for a white Christmas (because you can’t give that to them anyway, not unless you buy fake snow by the truckload): a holiday bonfire. There’s nothing like roasting marshmallows and drinking steaming cups of hot cocoa in the great outdoors, singing Christmas carols and handing out homemade eggnog to whoever wants a glass.

There are also extra treats for the adults who might otherwise prefer to stay indoors: fluffy booze-infused marshmallows that can get you toasted on the sly. Take extra care to keep them out of reach of children for obvious reasons (and also because nobody really wants to clean up vomit from the carpet on Christmas day.)

Booze Marshmallows

They’re available in two flavors: Maker’s Mark and Guinness. You can get your fill from Wondermade, who sells these marshmallows in boxes of 16 for $7.50.
