You’ve seen the ‘Very Many Varieties of Beer‘ poster from Pop Chart Lab on the Brew Review blog before, but now they’ve released a line of t-shirts that take their famous poster designs and bring them to your closet.

Available in both Stout and Navy colors, the Very Many Varieties of Beer t-shirt is screenprinted by hand in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and uses discharge inks on ringspun cotton for that extra soft feel.

Plus, at just $20, it’s a cheap and easy way to look great at your next beer festival.

If you’re looking to add a little something extra to your next brew, then check out the Randall Jr. from Dogfish Head. This portable version of the Randall 3.0 is basically a combination of a travel mug and french press, and allows you to infuse your favorite beer with whatever ingredients you can think up.

Want to add some espresso beans to your next stout to kick the coffee flavor up a notch? Go ahead. Some citrus in your next hefe? Sure, why not.

Just place your ingredients in the Randall Jr., pour the beer in, place the concoction in a cold climate (like a fridge) for 10 minutes, and enjoy.

Still not sold?

Then check out the informercial:

The Randall Jr. is just $19.99, and can be purchased on the Dogfish Head website.

Nobody needs a BrewCave.

But then again, nobody needs a Ferrari, and you wouldn’t see me turning one down if I could afford it.

The BrewCave is a climate controlled, walk-in beer cooler that doubles as the world’s largest kegerator, with room for 30 cases of beer and four kegs.

Each panel of the BrewCave is shipped individually, so you just assemble them all together where you want your BrewCave to be, and in a few short hours, you will have built your own beer shrine.

Complete with floor, the BrewCave will set you back nearly $7,000, so this is no small investment, but if you’ve got the space for it, and if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

There are a few different multi-tools that masquerade as keys, but with a little bit of work and creativity, you can turn just about any key blank into your very own 10-in-1 Utili-Key.

Featuring a bottle opener, phillips screwdriver, flat tip screwdriver, wood saw, rope cutter, wire cutter, hexagonal key, knife sharpener, nail trimmer and nail file, it’s practically all you’d need to survive once the zombies arrive.

Interestingly enough, about the only thing it doesn’t do is actually open doors!

Since 1958, both Anchor Brewing and the Giants have shared the city of San Francisco, and now, they share a location within that city as well.

The newly created Anchor Plaza at AT&T Park will serve Giants fans with hand-crafted beers from Anchor Brewing, spirits from Anchor Spirits, and a selection of foods that are designed to pair well with both.

If you’re in San Francisco and get a chance to check out a game, I can’t think of a better excuse to explore the ballpark.

To do the trick yourself, just put a few unopened bottles of beer in your freezer and wait for a couple of hours. (Note that this works best with clear bottles like Corona.) When you open the freezer again, a few of the bottles will likely have frozen and exploded, but there should be a few that are still in a liquid state. Carefully pick up one of the liquid bottles, set it on a table, remove the bottle cap, and give it a good tap on the table. As the bubbles form, the beer will instantly freeze, as seen in the video.

So what’s going on?

It’s an effect called supercooling, and according to Wikipedia,

Supercooling, also known as undercooling, is the process of lowering the temperature of a liquid or a gas below its freezing point without it becoming a solid.

A liquid below its standard freezing point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal or nucleus around which a crystal structure can form. However, lacking any such nucleus, the liquid phase can be maintained all the way down to the temperature at which crystal homogeneous nucleation occurs.

So basically, the beer is cold enough to freeze, but it has nothing to freeze around, so it stays liquid. When you tap the bottle on the table, the bubbles create a seed and the ice forms around that seed.

Neat, huh?

(Caution: This trick involves a glass bottle filled with supercooled liquid that expands as it freezes. That chances of the bottle exploding are low, but technically it’s still possible, so you should probably wear gloves and safety glasses if you’re going to try this at home. And please, don’t let your kids handle the bottles!)

The Brooklyn Brewery makes a line of beer soap that comes in a three-bar “flight”, and is made using three different styles of Brooklyn Brewery beer: Lager, Brown Ale and Black Chocolate Stout. (If I had to pick one of the three, I’d say that the Black Chocolate Stout sounds the most interesting.)

If you’ve got to get clean, you might as well smell good doing it!

The ‘Ichiban Shibori Frozen Draft’ system uses a process called ‘Frozen Agitation’ where air is blown into the beer to fluff up some head, which is then flash chilled to 23 degrees fahrenheit. The frozen beer foam is then dispensed onto the top of the beer from something that basically looks like a soft serve ice cream machine:

The frozen foam acts like a chilled lid, keeping your beer cool for up to 30 minutes, and when you’ve finished drinking the liquid part, you can eat the foam like a sorbet.

According to Koichi Matsuzawa, president of Kirin Brewery,

We want young consumers to enjoy drinking beer in a new way.

And what better way to get young consumers to enjoy beer than by turning it into a beer-sicle?

Kirin is testing out the system in Tokyo, Japan first, and hopes to have it in 1,000 restaurants across Asia by the end of the year.

TORQ is a bottle opener that defines the term ‘over engineered’.

Machined from billets of 303 Stainless, Naval Brass (alloy 464) or grade 2 Titanium, it’s free from branding, and designed to last longer than you are, so that you can hand it down for generations.

To see just how tough the TORQ really is, check out this video of it putting other openers to shame:

TORQ was recently funded through Kickstarter, and with 133 backers pledging more than $6000, they’re committed bringing the TORQ to life, which means that in just a few short weeks, you should be able to order a TORQ of your very own.
