. Here’s something you don’t see every day, and probably with good reason.  This older gentleman seems very fond of chainsaw, using for the somewhat (in chainsaw terms) delicate task of removing the cap off a bottle of beer.  Well at least he’ll never be frustrated by those silly Churchkey Can Co. cans Don wrote [...]

. I know April Fools Day has come and gone, but honestly, this Schlafly video transcends that single silly date and deserves to be seen by every beer geek in America. Not only do they razz Bud Light Platinum’s stupid name, they also mock the dickens out of the hype surrounding rare beers.  Plus anything [...]

. . I loved tinkering with LEGOs as a kid.   I used gears and pulleys and axles to make some neat stuff, some of which were pretty resourceful feats of kiddie engineering. Look mom, the helicopter blade AND the tail rotor spin when I turn the handle!  I’m totally a genius! Well, looking at the [...]

I’ve opened beers with many found objects – my favorite being the bottom of a Bic back when I was a smoker – but this one’s new on me. The video above shows a rather furry gentleman opening a rather crappy beer with a very ordinary piece of copy paper.  The trick is simple but [...]

. . Here’s a quick look at Noble Rot, Dogfish Head’s beer/wine hybrid that was brewed with grapes infected with the botrytis fungus.  While it sounds gross, the result is actually a wonderfully sophisticated beer that your wine snob friends (if you have any, traitor!) are sure to love. For more about Noble Rot from [...]

. Check out this funny video from The Flip Side, showing what the world would be like if ladies acted like dudes while in a bar. While it’s funny, it’s also a utopia of sorts, where very attractive women aggressively pursue beer-commercial-grade guys; you’ll recognize at least one dude from a string of Bud Light [...]

I’m not sure if this is cool or cringe-worthy, but I’m leaning towards cringe-worthy.  There’s something about the whole process that makes me sightly…uncomfortable.

. Thank you, Science! No time for watching a video?  Here’s a quicker way to see what’s what:

I recently stumbled across this video shot at the Utah State library, exploring the question of whether or not women and men can be “just friends.”  In a nutshell the answer is “no,” mostly because guys always have their eyes on the prize, and the prize isn’t a gossip session over vanilla latte’s. Sorry ladies!

. It looks like Sam Adams is trying to rekindle the romance with hardcore craft beer geeks with the release of their small batch series of beers.  Glancing at the labels, you wouldn’t guess that these are Sam Adams products, and I think that’s the whole point. When we discussed our “no-go” breweries here yesterday, [...]

. I’m not ever sure where to start, but this may be the best television commercial I’ve ever seen. All I’ll say is click play – I’d hate to spoil a minute of it.  Check out the stuffed Don that makes an appearance at about 0:35. Thanks to Mathew Molde for sharing this on our [...]

. . Here’s Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione giving a 20 minute “TED Talk” about how his brewery looks back into history for creative inspiration as they try to reinvent what beer is all about. I love TED Talks, which are usually given by enlightened people who have something interesting to share. If you’re unfamiliar [...]

. . I’ve seen this link floating around the Interwebs lately, but didn’t click on it until this morning – this is totally nuts! Some dude with too much money, talent, time and technical skills wired his entire house to “sing” This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas.  You gotta see it to believe [...]

Here’s something you don’t see every day.  It seems the old shelves at Superior Wine in Sheboygan, Wisconsin couldn’t handle the weight of the wine that was laden upon them, so they decided to give up in quite a spectacular fashion. The security footage shows what is essentially a flood of wine and champagne sweep [...]

I’ll admit it – I think Justin Timberlake is hilarious when he pops onto Saturday Night Live.  He has immaculate comedic timing and doesn’t seem to mind making a fool of himself.
