Beer pouch....eh don't think so.


Beer in a pouch.... I'm not sure about this one. Why you would want people to think you have a big beer filled dildo in your mouth is beyond me but to each his own.

I'm pretty sure canned, bottled, and kegged beer has always been "Beer to Go" for well over a hundred years so I'm not really sure whats new about this.. well besides the wiener references.

"The CarboPouch™ development allows craft draft beer brewers to fill on-site, a clean, ready-to-go Single45™ or Single25™ pouch with spout and cap. Storage and shelf-life requires refrigeration. Low-carbonated water and shelf-stable energy drinks can also be filled. The organoleptic film structure ensures no off flavor. The patented film structure is designed to handle the pouch “stretch” after filling and carbonation expansion. The automatic filling process is such that there is no headspace after filling. The three-side seal pouch has a smooth side comfort grip feature. The combination of these factors makes the CarboPouch™ a true economical innovation for distribution of craft draft beers to the consumer’s home. Sports functions now have a package!"

I like the beer pouch better

Philly happy hours


My friend Marcello just shared the greatest list of info ever.... its a list of several dozen happy hours of bars around Philly. It shows times, what they are serving for happy hour and location.
Thanks dude:

The Golden Monkey


Golden Monkey is one of my favorite beers and I was able to revisit the monkey again this past weekend. Light, a little sweet Belgian style with like 9% alc. Throw back about 3 or 4 and you will pretty much be done for the night.

Exploding Drink


This was completely plagiarized from wired, but its fun and I cited them. Have fun.







You've seen the YouTube clips demonstrating the riotous effect of dropping Mentos into Diet Coke. Why not turn the fizzy fun into an epic party prank of your own? Here's our recipe for a little cocktail we call the Manhattan Project.

Contents

 

1. Shop

Buy the ingredients at your corner store: 2 liters of Diet Coke (warm, diet only because it isn't sticky), one pack Mentos candy (mint), and some rye whiskey (cheap)... Manhattans also call for a splash of sweet vermouth and 2 small dashes Angostura bitters

2. Prep

Fill an ice tray so that each section is half full of water and stick it in the icebox. Once all of the half-ice cubes have frozen, fill them up to the top placing one candy into each cube. Freeze again.

3. Mix

Combine four cubes and 8 oz. of Diet Coke. Top with 2 oz. of whiskey. The Vermouth and bitters are optional but necessary for an authentic taste. Of course, Manhattans don't actually ever make use of cola or soda so authenticity has already been sacrificed to the prank. Garnish with a naive smile and serve. Wait five minutes.

4. Flee

When the ice melts enough to expose the dense candy's gum arabic to the cola, it'll erupt like a fifth-grade science project.
