Recycled Glassware by Bottlehood

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

When I saw these awesome glasses made by Bottlehood ($15+) I was instantly reminded of Mandles. However, given the rediculous amounts of beer consumed at my place I think I’ll have way more of a use for these! As you can see they are eco-friendly, “upcycled” glassware made from recycled wine, beer, soda and liquor bottles and you can get them in tumblers, juice glasses and vases. It is pretty sweet to think you could be drinking that Dead Guy Ale from a glass that it was meant for. Its like destiny or something…

A little birdie tells me that a couple of those tumblers will have a new home soon. Read More

Batch 19: The Pre-Prohibition Style Lager

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Can you imaging life without beer? Of course not, why the hell would you? Thankfully for us, our interweb generation wasn’t around during Prohibition. But what did beer taste like before 1920? Funny you ask because Coors has just introduced Batch 19. It’s based on a 91-year-old, pre-Prohibition recipe (and named for the year 1919, before Prohibition began), delivers a “bold, hoppy flavor that is surprisingly well balanced.”

Now for the bad news. Batch 19 is currently only available on draft in select speakeasy and saloon style bars in Chicago, San Fransisco, San Jose, Washington, D.C. and Milwaukee. So if any of you luck bastards get to try it, let us know what you think.

Mandle – Man candle in a recycled beer bottle

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

These have possibly the greatest candles ever! I know that sounds a little gay but hold on… In the words of Koi Kouture (the artist behind this creation) these are Mandles($28). What the hell is a mandle you ask? Well let let me explain. A mandle is a 220z Rogue beer bottle turned into a candle holder. Pretty kick ass right? Well the mandle magic doesn’t stop there. Mandles are candles that smell like manly things because vanilla scented candles in teacups are for chicks! You pick the scent and the bottle

Here are the scents you can choose from:

HOOTERS WAITRESS SCENTED: Suntan Oil with the faint smell of old deep fryer oil.
HUNGRY MAN TV DINNER SCENTED: Roast Beef with Creamed Corn (real enough to make you throw up in your mouth a little)
STRIPPER BREATH SCENTED: Watermelon Jolly Rancher with a little stale smoke
HAM & CHEESE SANDWICH ON RYE SCENTED: Ham and cheese on rye…with a tiny bit of mustard. This scent is awesome!
MUNCHIES SCENTED: Fritos with an underlying layer of dried pot and a tiny bit of smoke.
CARNY: Cotton Candy and Corn Dogs…with a little motor oil.
TRAILER PARK: Motor Oil, Fresh Dirt and despair (not really)
CAMPING: Roasted Marshmallow and campfire
OH NO, IT’S THE COPS!: Coffee and Donuts
ROAD TRIP: Beef Jerky
OLD SPICE (Because the new commercials are amazing!)
PINK STARBURST: Just like the pink starburst!
SPRING BREAK: Suntan oil
CRAZY OLD FISHERMAN: Fishing Boat and Old Spice
AXE BODY SPRAY: Just like the one your little brother in college wears.
FRESH CUT GRASS: Men love nothing more than mowing the lawn and drinking a beer.
LEATHER: Just like the leather couch in a bachelor pad

Skinny Blonde Beer = Best Label Ever [NSFW]

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

It is the ultimate beer-lover’s fantasy: a bottle of beer with a woman on the label whose bikini disappears as fast as the drinker can consume its contents.

Three friends in Sydney have taken on the Australian beer market with a unique world first marketing concept for their new beer. The label is Skinny Blonde, a low-carb beer that is thriving on the current popularity of Australia’s new crop of ‘healthy’ beers.

But there is another reason it is popular: the Skinny Blonde bottle features a 1950s-style pin-up called Daisy whose red bikini disappears as the beer level drops and the bottle warms up, thanks to the modern ink technology used on the labels. If you want another treat, head over to their site and check out these lovely ladies.

Update: Sadly they don’t have the original site up anymore so no naked six packs… However, they are clothed after the break. Read More
