So this happened.  I have a few cans of Miller Lite laying around after I bought a sixer of the stuff for a Today.com piece on retro beer cans (and yes, it pained me to purchase it!).  I decided to climb down off of my high horse and give it a try, but I discovered […]

Beer people are good people, except when they decide to pull pranks.  Then they can be very, very bad people. Case in point is the video above, shot in what appears to be the warehouse area of a beer distributor or beer store.  As you’ll find when you watch the clip, the kindly older gentleman […]

. . This video created by photographer Ben Garvin shares one very important life lesson – if you have a magical beard, one with a life of its own that can hide crayons and consume an entire cucumber – you’d best not let shaving cream touch it. That could kill the host. 

By now, you may have seen the video of a Mariners fan catching a foul ball in his beer and then chugging down it like a gladiator at the Colosseum. If not, I’ve posted the clip below. The beer-baller gets style points for sure. Not only do we see richly tan foam splashing down his […]

My buddy Rich Blair at the New Holland Brewing Company was nice enough to send me a taste of a special edition of their Dragons Milk (an amazing barrel aged stout and probably my favorite beer on the planet) that had been aged on tart Michigan cherries. This is a one-and-done brew and was (or […]

There’s beer goggles, and then there’s what you see through Google Glass after drinking many of them.  As a beer geek and a gadget nerd, I gotta say this might be the best St. Paddy’s Day video I’ve ever seen. “Google Glass…nearest brothel!” Have a fun and safe St. Paddy’s day everyone, and PLEASE don’t […]

Maybe it’s the incessant paaah and whoosh of his respirator, or maybe his ear drums were permanently damaged when he tangled with Obi-Wan on Mustafar, but as this video shows, Darth Vader clearly needs a hearing aid. Also, I’m a nerd! Still, I laughed out loud more than once during this stupid video.  Enjoy! . […]

. I know it seems preposterous to hardcore beer geeks, but some very bright and experienced people think it is better to drink craft beer from the can rather than the bottle. Okay, so maybe it’s just one bright and experienced person, The Alchemist’s John Kimmich. 

Now I know where the hell’s he been!  Go shawty, it’s yo birfday….

I recently shared a video of a craggy old man in jaunty house slippers opening a beer bottle with a chainsaw.  Well, filmmakers Chris Sumers and Adam Young take it to the next level (at least variety-wise) with their short “Bottle Cap Blues,” a quick and fun film showing improvised ways of opening beer bottles. […]

. 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 […]
