Beer soap, why not

If you are striving to prove to your loved ones that you are a true, hardcore, 100% dedicated alcoholic, then beer soap is for you. Beer Soap comes in just about every beer style - lager, stout, porters, ales, so there can be no excuses not to own some.

Black Xantus

This looks like an interesting beer.

coffee infused ale, aged in oak barrels.

Looks promising, the video is a little long, but you can probably skip around and still get the point.

Beer in a pouch

This is the future of transporting and consuming beer. No more football games that don't permit beer because it comes in a botttle. Now there's beer in a pouch. The safest way to transport and of course, drink our glourious golden elixir. Available soon at a beer store near you.

German know how to party

Germany.... the epicenter of beer.... I just discovered one of the most amazing inventions for all of mankind. A german party keg bike. Get 10 to 16 of your friends, 20 pounds of wienerschnitzel and a keg of beer and you have one rocking german party.
For 15 euros per person, it kind of sounds like a deal. In lame Philly, you can get a DUI for riding your bike drunk, not really sure how or why, but in germany.... they welcome drunk biking.

hops hops hops

Well, it's early september and the smell of hops is in the air. Why is that, well it's hop picking time. I myself live in the city, but even here, anything is possible. I have two hop plants growing our back in my parking lot and the hops look just about ready. These plants are just in their second year and already one of them exploded and grew a lot of hop cones. At this point I am going to pick them, dry them, brew with them and then drink the results! mmmmmmm.....hoppy beer. You can't get a fresher, hoppier brew then when you use your own home-grown hops. Anyway, here are some pictures of my hops out back. You will see that they grow to 25-30 feet high. I can't wait to brew.
Cheers,
Dan

Portable Keg

This guy has the idea.

Dan is coming to Philly

My brother Dan is coming home to Philly this weekend. We are planning to do a little drinking and make some wine at my house.

We are also going on the Yuengling Brewery tour next weekend. Yuengling is based about 1 hour outside of philly. I plan to test each beer sample at least 5 times each.
I will update our beer drinking progress each day next week.
