All those beers you've consumed in your life have had a date printed on them. This date, in small white numbers, is when you were supposed to drink the brew by. You probably never paid attention to it. You might have encountered a skunky beer or two but shrugged them off to fight another day. With Stone's Enjoy By ... continue reading
If the Super Bowl is any indication, beer makes for some great commercials. We don't know if the guys behind Carlton Draught taste tested a little too much of their product and watched Miami Vice re-runs, or if they're really just this clever, but we do know that we love this ad.
It might be a rare occasion, but if you have ever dropped your pocket knife in a pond while out camping, you know the annoyance involved in retrieving that sucker. The Cork Knife eliminates any fear of cutting rope on the side of a lake or whittling wood over a creek while you're on your next trip. The cork handle ... continue reading
If you've ever gone into your local liquor store in the hope of creating a custom 6 pack of craft beers to give your fridge some variety, you've no doubt run into some issues.

Holy hipster lighting, Batman! If you just carried your fixie up the stairs to your Brooklyn apartment and are reaching for the light switch, you can only hope it's this one. Okay, while the whole hipster thing is getting a little ridiculous, we do appreciate the originality of this lamp, primarily the pull tab shade. ... continue reading
If you haven't picked up on it yet, we're kinda big fans of beer. It's delicious. We're not the biggest craft beer geeks in the world, but we like to know what's going on so we can get drunk off the good stuff inform you. One of the trends that has been bubbling up for a while now is the use of growlers. If you're ... continue reading

Beer trends often flare up and burn out before the general public even hears a whisper. Some oddities stick – color changing mountains and lime flavoring – but mostly they’re just for the real beer geeks. One trend bubbling up right now that we feel you should know about is the white IPA. Why do we dig it? Well, it takes the creamy sweetness of a good wheat beer and combines it with the hoppiness of an IPA. We’ll leave ...... continue reading

While we used to recall the adventures of Ahab, now upon seeing a whale we immediately think one thing: Twitter is down.

Nothing says, "I'm being so discreet and yet completely obvious at the same time," like sipping your booze out of a brown paper bag. It's like Clark Kent wearing a t-shirt that says, "Come on guys, I'm totally not Superman." Next time you're brown bagging it, why not have your disguise double as a koozie. The Bum Bag ... continue reading
There are a lot of things worth knowing about beer other than what bottles require an opener, how to consume the largest quantity possible and the intricacies of the beer pong rules. You don't need to know about the relationship of hops to barley that's used to create the world's third most popular drink (it's fun ... continue reading
Remember those little stash boxes you had as a kid to hide “stuff” from your parents? They probably looked like a fake outlet or a can of Mountain Dew or a smoke detector. This Log Stump Cooler is kind of like that, except it’s for camouflaging booze and ice when you’re out in public somewhere where there are ... continue reading
In an effort to keep our mountains blue, we have purchased our fair share of Igloo coolers in our day. Most of them have ended up getting left in a muddy parking lot after a tailgate or have withered away out on our deck in the blistering sun. For our next purchase, we're looking at upgrading to this wooden cooler ... continue reading
