You’re probably not even reading this. You saw the picture that marks the delicious intersection between beer and technology and you immediately clicked to buy one. We’re sorry. You can’t actually buy the Guinness QR [...]

It’s just about time to clear your fridge of all those crazy strong imperial stouts you’ve got in there. Days spent out on the deck call for something crisp and flavorful without the quick-acting headache. [...]

Removing glasses from the cabinets in our kitchen is like playing a game of Jenga. We've collected so many pint and shot glasses that trying to grab one can result in an entire stack crashing [...]

Game of Thrones has impacted our lives more than we'd like to admit. We can't listen to a weatherman say, "Looks like winter is coming," without thinking of the House Stark any more; when someone [...]

When a night involves pitchers of beer rather than bottles or cans, you run in to a bit of a dilemma depending on the size of your group. While they disappear rather quickly at first, [...]

We spend way too much money on apps for our iPhones. It's so hard to say no when something only costs $1, and it's even more difficult when the app you're considering is basically an [...]

It's an unseasonably warm day and you're out enjoying a beer at a nice, relaxed pace (stretch your imagination for a second drunky). After a few minutes of sitting on your deck, you realize your once cold [...]

Unless you were a childhood alcoholic, you probably weren't knocking back a few while avoiding ghosts in Pac-Man.  If you were of age (or broke into your dad's after work stash), you may have found that [...]

You probably haven't put much thought into your keychain. In fact, you probably can't even remember the last time you bought a keychain. Usually they're just acquired, whether at bar as a beer promo or [...]

You already have a myriad of ways of opening a cold one. You can purchase an iPhone case with a built-in opener, you can use one of the hundreds of freebies you've received from Bud [...]

We don't need to explain to you why beer ice cream is awesome, so we're just going to talk about the different flavors available from the Shark Tank darlings Brewer's Cow. Black and tan pints [...]

For far too long we've been opening our beer bottles with two hands like suckers. All that effort, when one hand could handle the beer while the other texts, high-fives or grabs a boob (Warning: Don't [...]

Not all things are greater than the sum of their parts.  We love inhaling cheap tacos and we love rollercoasters, but we don't love cleaning puke out of our Nikes.  Beer, clearly, does not fall [...]

There are plenty of ways to open a bottle a beer, but none as storied as this ancient iron mermaid transformed from the figurehead of an ancient sailing vessel. Ok, so that’s not entirely true. [...]

Being a good beer and being a good beer for beer pong are two very different things. Just cause we enjoy pricey Imperial stouts that approach 10% ABV, doesn't mean we're ready to split some of [...]
