I guess if he was about 10 years older he would have a Jenga tattoo.

Brewtender: Chilled Beer Tower

TavernToys.com sent me over a BrewTender to check out. This is a chilled, easy to pour, and fun alternative to a beer pitcher. The Brewtender has three basic parts, the 80oz pitcher, an inner chamber of ice, and the stand. The ice chamber twist locks into the pitcher, and the pitcher easily twist locks on to the base. Having separate parts allows you more maneuverability while filling everything up.

From my experience, if you pour a cool liquid in and fill the center up with ice, it’ll keep cold for at least two hours. Which means that the Brewtender will get the job done better than your standard pitcher for beer pong, flip cup, and other drinking games. I’d mainly recommend this product for use with keg beer at home. Possible uses for tailgating would be a punch or a non-alcoholic drink that you’re not going to fill multiple times. Additional features are the lazy susan base that allows you to spin the tap around so everyone at the table can use it. Located underneath the ice chamber is a light that shines up through the liquid that is powered by four D batteries. It provides an irresistible glow to beer and would look great in a dimly lit situation.

Cooler and Beer Pong Table Combo?

It seems ridiculous that there is actually a site called BeerPongNews.com and slightly more crazy that they actually searched the US Patent Office’s website for mentions of beer pong. But because they did, we were able to see the sketches of a combination tailgating cooler and beer pong table. They definitely seem on the right track to me. It’s a very useful idea, but I’d guess the legs will be the real sticking point. They need to be about two feet long and support roughly 40 pounds. Which I’m guessing would force them to be stored on the side of the cooler instead of below. Hopefully some day they will figure it all out.

How to Ruin Beer Pong

I recently received an email wanting to know if I would feature Buzz Shot the Beer Pong card game on this site. I have agreed. Your average beer pong game is really fun and allows 2-4 people to socialize and drink. Then some douche walks up with his set of 10 different rules that “we always play by” and proceeds to suck all of the fun out of the game. Well now those douches have an aid in their quest because Buzz Shot:

* Helps eliminate the same people consistently winning by adding additional variables to the game, such as shooting with the opposite hand, making a bounce shot instead of an arc shot, having to choose a guest to take your shot, take a shot while sitting down, losing a turn, etc.

* Helps introduce those who may not be inclined to play the game as is (Guys….especially the female crowd)

* Is an excellent “ice breaker” at a party. Have a hard time starting up a conversation with those you don’t know? Bring BUZZ-SHOT along to a party and you won’t have that problem!

These are the worst pitches I’ve seen since the Boom Cooler. Yeah, if girls are intimidated by Beer Pong, they will be much more likely to play if you add rules that force them to take trick shots. Also, what would be your reaction if a stranger walked up to you and asked if you want to play Beer Pong, but then informed you that we’d be playing with a set of Monopoly Community Chest like cards? Would punching them in the throat be too polite? I have my own set of rules for Beer Pong. Throw ball into cup. Occasionally chug beer. Talk shit. That’s the beauty. That’s the fun. Leave it alone.

Beer Pong for Charity

In theory the Portopong table makes sense. It’s easy to transport and could open the game up for playing in a pool. But personally I have a problem with any beer pong table that has fitted cup holders. It simply makes the game too easy. Heavy cups or slotted positions make the sides of the playing cups too rigid and thus simple to make a shot. So I’m giving it a no dice for tailgating purposes. If you were playing in a pool or lake this advantage would cancel out the movement of the table due to waves. Though we haven’t personally tried out this product we’re mentioning them here because if you purchase one of their pink tables they will donate $5 to the Keep A Breast Foundation. The tables are $50.
