Kegerator T-Shirt

i want a kegerator

The perfect t-shirt has arrived!

Now you can either make your friends jealous of you or strangers respect you from a distance. These two new kegerator t-shirts blast loud messages and both messages will bring you positive mojo.

If you’ve always wanted a kegerator, but can’t afford it or you aren’t "allowed" to have one then the i want a kegerator t-shirt is for you. This may help give friends or family a hint as to what they should get you for your next birthday, Father’s Day or Mother’s Day. (We all know mothers like them some draft beer too.)

On the flip side, if you already have taken the plunge and purchased yourself a magic beer machine (a.k.a. kegerator) then you are in for a treat with the i have a kegerator t-shirt. Jealousy will consume all eyes that hit the clearly defined sentence. The message speaks loud to any beer loving humanoid that has ever dreamed of owning a kegerator. You will instantly become the hit of the room and everyone will scramble over to you to either ask "What is a kegerator?" or they will respectfully say "Damn you’re lucky!".

I have tested both of these shirts on the street and believe me, it was a blast to see the reactions and smiles when people read the message. Beer is a universal glue that bonds us all together and who wouldn’t want a fancy t-shirt that exclaims your love for refrigerators that dispense universal glue?

Old Speckled Hen – Brew Approves!

Old Speckled Hen

So, last night I hit my local beer, wine and spirits specialty store and grabbed a bundle of Old Speckled Hen. Now I’ve tasted this before a few years ago when I was trying to become a B.B. Rovers 101 Club Member. To become a member you have to drink 101 different beers from over 300 beers on their menu.

I acheived my goal and drank 101 beers becoming member #1069. The club is really cool and comes with some great perks. You get a 10% discount on weekends for the beer and the authentic pub style food. Labor day weekend, the bar is open only to members and a guest with free beer and catered bbq all day. You also get your name on a plaque and a free t-shirt. And last but not least your 101st beer is on the house.

Brew and Old Speckled Hen

As for the Old Speckled Hen, I really enjoyed this beer. I am a HUGE hop head, but this malty and rich pale ale was a surprising and refreshing change for me. The ale is easy drinking and hosts a silky and sweet finish. I highly recommend anyone reading this to try Old Speckled Hen the next time you see it on a menu. This ale is imported from England, but you will find it in your local beer specialty store and costs around $8-10 dollars for a 6 pack.

My new Golden Retriever puppy, "Brew" grabbed a lick off the bottle when I wasn’t looking and I know he approves of this pale ale too.

The History of the Kegerator

The History of the Kegerator

I recently released a 10-part series on the history of the kegerator entitled "The Rise of Cold Beer Drinking" and have been getting some nice comments back on the research that was done. The articles explore the history of refrigeration and how the the kegerator came to be.

Beer.com has published all ten articles in the series on their website and I also was asked to do an exclusive  interview for the Beer.com PodCast (8MB). The guys over at Beer.com were nothing but awesome about publishing the series and I look forward to working with them in the future.

Check out the entire series and let me know what you think.

Introduction
The kegerator is the best way to enjoy a perfect cold draft beer at home. It is essentially a modified refrigerator or freezer that keeps keg beer cold right until it is poured into your glass. A favorite of home brewers and real ale aficionados, the kegerator maintains the freshness of beer as well as keeping the beer’s head nice and creamy.

In this series of articles we discuss the rise of cold beer drinking and the kegerator. 

Brew Comes Home

Brew Comes Home

A friend of mine recently asked if I would like a puppy for free. "Hmmm… free puppy?" I said. "I guess." It’s hard to pass up something free and even harder to pass up something free and cute like a Golden Retriever puppy.

I brought the little guy home and appropriately named him "Brew". He has been a little hell raiser since day one, chewing on anything below knee level and wreaking havoc on all the shoes and furniture in his path. This little brew master has a lot to learn about proper home bar etiquette. He is only 8 weeks old and does not quite understand that the bathroom is outside and not the living room floor, not unlike some friends of mine.

Last night he had his first lick of Rogue Dead Guy and I think he had sensory overload. He spaced out and barked at the bottle as if to say "Aghhhhhh…. that is the most delicious brew this Brew has ever slurped." He is also fond of Real Ale’s Fireman #4, so I can tell Brew and I will be friends for many years.

I wonder if Brew will like draft beer too?
