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

By Hazel Chua on 04/09/13 • Leave a comment!

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.

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

By Hazel Chua on 02/28/13 • Leave a comment!

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.’”

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

By Hazel Chua on 12/28/12 • Leave a comment!

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.)

Meat Shot Glasses–Because Bacon Tequila Tastes Better With Meat

By Hazel Chua on 11/19/12 • Leave a comment!

Meatball Shotglass

Don’t drink alcohol on an empty stomach. Don’t drink more than you can handle. And don’t drink and drive. Those are the three rules that every drinker should know and take to heart, because as long as you follow all three, then you’ll be fine. Or at least, let’s hope you will be.

Helping you along with the first of these rules is the newest craze in the alcoholosphere (I know, there’s no such word but I like how it sounds): Meat Shot Glasses. They were thought up by the meat-loving collective known as ManBQue and while they don’t look like the prettiest things in the world, they’re actually a pretty cool concept. These are basically just shot glasses wrapped in meat balls and then grilled for your dining and drinking pleasure.

For best results, use these glasses to down your Bacon Vodka. Enjoy!

Fill Up These Rx Shot Glasses With Your Own Prescription of Fun

By Hazel Chua on 09/26/12 • Leave a comment!

Prescription Shot Glasses

People drink for many reasons. But if your reason is to drown your sorrows, then we suggest trying to cheer yourself up using other means, lest you end up addicted and nobody wants that. Drinking should be fun and it should be done when you’re feeling festive. You don’t need to get drunk, but with great company and loads of laughter, you can be sure that you’ll have yourself a good time.

Take things up a notch by downing your shots in these quirky Rx Shot Glasses. They look like bottles for pills that you’d need a prescription for, so nobody would expect (or understand) why everyone on your table is throwing them down like there’s no tomorrow.

A set of four shot glasses is priced at $19.99.

Inebriator is a Robotic Bartender that Mixes Drinks on Command

By Hazel Chua on 09/04/12 • Leave a comment!

Inebriator

Some robots were meant to scare people while others were created to provide people with companionship (but really, when will people learn that live pets just can’t be replaced with robotic ones?) And then there’s the awesome and amazing robot that has been programmed to mix drinks and cocktails on command to serve thirsty crowds at the party.

It’s called the Inebriator and it’s a cocktail-mixing machine that uses an Arduino microcontroller to do the deed. It’s pre-programmed with 15 drink recipes so you and your guests are bound to find something you’d like on the menu. It’s not for sale though, so if you want it, you’re going to have to build your own.

Check out a clip of the Inebriator in action after the jump.

‘Never Mind the Anabolics’ is Booze on Steroids

By Hazel Chua on 08/14/12 • 1 Comment

Never Mind the Anabolics

I have a feeling that beer pumped with all sorts of stimulants probably isn’t legal, but that doesn’t make it any less amazing. BrewDog came up with this steroid-laced concoction as a form of protest against the London Olympics’ strict sponsorship rules that kept a lot of brands out.

Dubbed as ‘Never Mind the Anabolics’, the ingredients list for this limited-edition India pale ale includes ‘creatine, guarana, lycii berries, kola nut, Gingko, matcha tea, maca powder and steroids.’ The brew was specially formulated to ‘unmask the corporate beast of the world’s biggest sporting event and highlight the shallow nature of sponsorship.’

An inside source explains that only the first batch of beer actually contained steroids. The bottles that will be made available to the public won’t contain steroids, but they’ll still be pumped with other substances that Olympics athletes are banned from consuming.

Hit the jump to check out a video promo for this controversial brew.
