The Super Bowl. Not simply another day of football, it has turned into a national pastime that is noted for the specific foods that are served and the fact that it is the biggest beer-drinking day of the year. Super Bowl parties are a great way to hang out with friends to watch the game and the much anticipated commercials between breaks, while also enjoying great munchie food like pizza, wings and nachos, and of course, beer.

Tax day is one of those days that make many people cringe. The thought of April 15th, and the knowledge that your taxes must be completed and mailed to the IRS by that date (not to mention the hefty sums that you may have to send in with your tax return), has caused that mid-April day to be one that is met with a bit of disdain. That is, unless you are an accountant, and then you know that April 15th is the day you get your freedom back and stop working 15 hour days to get everyone else’s tax returns completed in time.

Christmas Eve. In popular songs, it’s a night filled with wonder and hope, excitement and anticipation. At least if you’re a kid.

For some, sleep comes quickly, because they know that Santa can’t arrive until they are fast asleep. For others, the excitement of what is to come makes them toss and turn all night long.

Arcade Game
Available from thegamerator.com for a mere $3,499, the Gamerator comes loaded with approximately 100 classic arcade titles such as Space Invaders, Operation Wolf, Mrs. Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat, and many more. Too bad they don’t include a keg of beer for that price tag.

Imagine this. The time is 1492. The place is onboard the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, sailing across a vast ocean. The person, of course, is Christopher Columbus, one of the most famous explorers of all time, as well as his crew. The journey, a trip from Spain that ultimately resulted in the “official” discovery of the Americas. Imagine the difficult journey it must’ve been – one wrought with disease, doubt, and disbelief.

There’s a new trend taking place amongst kegerator builders that is taking some of their designs to the extreme. Bigger, faster, stronger is the American way and so why not apply that to the modern kegerator? Well here is a few of the extreme kegerators we have been seeing lately that are likely to spawn a whole new way of thinking when it comes to drinking draft beer from a kegerator.

Specialty glasses have existed throughout the ages, whether they are for wine, champagne, or different types of beers. From crystal goblets to stoneware steins, and, more recently, Belgian glass goblets, glass, ceramic, wood, and metal crafters have produced their visions of the perfect vessel for the perfect drink. The ratio of slope to surface area, breathing area, and volume contained within, are all tailored to the liquid viscosity and temperament of the beverage in question.
