We’re not going to say these are the 25 best beers in the world. That’s something very, very subjective. We will say that these are 25 beers that are seriously worth trying at some point in your life, however. Some you may have had already, seen at your local liquor store, or noticed on tap somewhere. Others you’ll have to scout out and hunt down. They’re presented in no particular order. To make it easy for you to keep track ...... continue reading
You're probably familiar with the Corkcicle. It's a super-handy way to keep your white wine chilled and covered without watering it down. Only issue is, white wine isn't really our go-to drink. That honor belongs to our good friend, Mr. Beer. Well, the folks who created the Corkcicle have heard our cries and have ... continue reading
You probably already know the benefits of using whiskey stones instead of ice in your drink. Basically, they cool your drink without watering it down so you get all the flavor you expect at a bit more pleasant temperature. With these Icon Whiskey Stones, you can add a bit more fun to your boozing experience. Available ... continue reading
We can’t help the fact that we’re sometimes attracted to bright, shiny objects. It’s why we do occasionally judge a book by its cover, and it’s also why we may order a beer we don’t know based on the really awesome tap handle associated with it. This doesn’t happen all the time, but we’re pretty sure it would be hard to pass up the suds coming from these guys. ... continue reading
Playing cards and having drinks go hand in hand. We can't recall the last poker night that didn't involve a more than healthy helping of cold ones. If you want to get schooled with a little bit of beer knowledge while you await your next turn, check out The Beer Deck. Printed on each of the playing cards is info related ... continue reading

The two joined forces to create the limited edition ... continue reading
Writing a book has been something we've been keeping mental notes about for as long as we can remember, but we've had difficulty narrowing down the list of topics. Do we write about cocktails? Wallets? Watches? Cars? Beer? That last one has always been near the top of the list, but then we found Craft Beer World. Mark ... continue reading
We want to bathe in hops. Just fill up a tub with flowers and let the resins sink into our skin until we smell like a drunk fantastic. While it isn't total body coverage, these lip balms from Atlantic Farms are a nice hoppy start. Available in Hops Mint, Hops Lavender, Hops Grapefruit, and, our favorite, Double IPA, ... continue reading
As you hit your local liquor shop in search of some new beers to try, there are a few that are worth keeping an eye out for.

Dear High School Guidance Counselor: You're fired! What the hell were you thinking not telling us that UC Davis had a Malting & Brewing Science program?
Charlie "The Pope of Foam" Bamforth takes us through the lab, explains the process and drops some knowledge bombs about the history of beer in a video posted ... continue reading
There's not much room for innovation in the growler market. It's a jug that holds beer. Simple. Turning one into a mini keg (like The TapIt Cap we recently featured) is the one smart move we could think of to help out the standard growler. Drink Tank Growlers are another solid option if you want to keep the beer in ... continue reading
If you own a 64 oz growler you've probably come across a bit of an issue: That beer doesn't stay fresh long after you open it. Okay, this might not be an issue for some of you (we know plenty of guys who easily crush 64 oz of booze in the span of a few days), but if you've got your fridge stocked and need to keep that ... continue reading
Apparently the folks over at Pop Chart Lab actually have some spare time on their hands despite crafting insanely elaborate taxonomy prints. These Concrete Beer Coasters take much of the info from the company's Very Many Varieties of Beer print, and slap it down under your brewski. Each coaster breaks down a style ... continue reading
The phrase "bar essentials" gets thrown around a lot in the office. Most of the time, it's talking about the classic combination of gin, triple sec, bourbon, rum, scotch, tequila, vermouth (dry and sweet if you want to get deep) and vodka that should be present in every home bar, but every once in a while we get down ... continue reading
We’re suckers for sharp packaging and good looks. While the beer nestled inside these bottles/cans might not end up being our favorite brew of all-time, we’re still willing to give each a shot because they look so attractive. ... continue reading
If you care about craft beer, you no doubt have a soft spot in your heart for good IPAs. It seems to be the kind of beer breweries get the most creative with. If you enjoy the hoppiness of a solid IPA, now you have your glassware to go with it. Designed by Spiegelau along with the founder of Dogfish Head, Sam Calagione, ... continue reading
