Pretty cool looking bottle opener. Though being a Bears fan, it holds a little something extra for me. Here's the details:
Whether you're having a hopping party or just enjoying a brew for two, this wild wall-mounted bottle opener is sure to come in handy. Affixed on the wall of your den next to a few potted plants and some wood-paneled speakers, this mottled red-brown and black, cast iron bear will feel right at home. Thanks to its awesome appearance and practical purpose, this item will prove to be a v-ursa-tile addition to your decor.
You can grab one of these for for $14 over at the ModCloth site HERE.

This thing is a great idea, and at only $30, I think everyone should have one. Here's the details:
Sure, you may have seen a beer holder belt or two before but nothing can compare to the Hops Holster 12 Can Ammo Pack!
There are 12 insulated holsters and each one holds a single 12-ounce can.
Next time you’re tailgating, camping or attending a BYOB party you can avoid those long, thirsty walks back to the cooler or the fridge by keeping a plethora of your favorite canned beers right on your chest.
Warning: Wearing this holster may result in your friends using you as a human pack mule that exclusively carries beer.
Features
* Each individual can holster is insulated to keep beer cold
* Perfect for tailgating, camping and parties
Specs
* Capacity: (12) 12 oz cans
* Adjustable waist belt fits waist (or belly) 28” to 42”

This sounds interesting, so I'd be curious to have a taste at some point. Here's a little of the details:
In 1919, beer was banned. Barrels were broken, breweries went under and recipes were lost. When beer came back 14 years later, it was never the same. That is until now, because in 2004, an old logbook was discovered in the brewery archives dating back before 1919. Batch 19 is inspired by the last batches of beer brewed before Prohibition made it illegal.
Unfortunately, it's only available in a few cities at the moment, Milwaukee, Chicago, San Fran, DC, and San Jose. If your in any of those areas, feel free to send me one.
You can check out the site HERE.

This is a pretty cool idea, and would be great for a home bar or man-cave.
They have everything from a two tiered light that hold 24 bottles and costs around $300 (shown in the picture), all the way up to a 52 bottles version for a poll table, costing around $1,250.
The other interesting piece to the lights is that none of them come with beer bottles. Which of course means you get to fill them up with anything you want. Hopefully after a good party.
You can hit the website HERE, and check out all of the lights.

You need to buy this, and see if you can make it through all 1001. Here's the details:
The world’s best beers—from Europe’s classics to the latest new-wave microbrew sensations. Finally, a book that treats beer as seriously as wine! This latest volume in the acclaimed 1001 series supplies the connoisseurs’ scoop on ferreting out the best among an ever-increasing array of available brews—from exotic foreign beers to the constantly evolving world of American microbrews and homebrews. The book focuses on the world of premium beers—from obscure labels to such traditional yet supremely local brands as Shiner (Austin, Texas), from Czech pilsners to German lagers, Belgian wheat beers, and Trappists ales, not to mention the classic British porters and Irish stouts—every type of beer is covered, making this the "go-to" volume for serious beer lovers. No mere catalogue or encyclopedia, the volume features critical tasting notes and subjective assessments that will help match the right beer to the right occasion. Is this beer light, crisp, and refreshing (good for a picnic), or dry, bitter, and appetizing? Each description includes notes on the flavor and body of the beer, explains why it tastes the way it does, and describes strength and ideal serving temperature.
You can grab one HERE.

This is pretty much just an expensive beer cooler. However, it does have some great points in that it holds 120 cans, and will cool them all down to 40 degrees. It can hold a lot of other stuff obviously, but really, why would you?
Here's the details from the Bed, Bath & Beyond site:
Your patio, a friend's backyard, the parking lot of a sports arena — there's no place this portable, rechargeable cooler can't go to provide you with refreshments at near refrigerator temperature. A spacious cabinet with three removable shelves and an in-the-door bottle compartment let you stock up to your heart's content, including wine bottles, soda cans, juice cartons, bottled water, and more. The flat "bar top" surface and hanging basket on the outside make storing and serving easy. Two sturdy wheels offer tilt-and-roll transport. Cools to 40° F and holds up to 120 12-ounce cans. Plugs into a standard home outlet and includes an AC/DC adapter for vehicle charging. Rechargeable battery provides active, quiet cooling for four hours.
It's expensive at $450, but you can get one HERE.

It's called the world's strongest because it's 32% alcohol. No idea what this would taste like, but you almost *have* to try it. Unfortunately they sold out of their first batch, but the second is close to being done. Here some of the details from the site:
The BrewDog team have pulled off our most audacious and ambitious project to date, and smashed a world record in the process. We have today, Thursday 26 November 2009, set a new world record after creating the strongest beer in the world. Weighing in at an ABV of 32%, BrewDog’s ‘Tactical Nuclear Penguin’ beats the previous record of 31% held by German beer brand Schorschbraer.
This beer is about pushing the boundaries, it is about taking innovation in beer to a whole new level. It is about achieving something which has never before been done and putting Scotland firmly on the map for progressive, craft beers.
This beer is bold, irreverent and uncompromising. A beer with a soul and a purpose. A statement of intent. A modern day rebellion for the craft beer proletariat in our struggle to over throw the faceless bourgeoisie oppression of corporate, soulless beer.’
The Antarctic name inducing schizophrenia of this uber-imperial stout originates from the amount of time it spent exposed to extreme cold. This beer began life as a 10% imperial stout 18 months ago. The beer was aged for 8 months in an Isle of Arran whisky cask and 8 months in an Islay cask making it our first double cask aged beer. After an intense 16 month, the final stages took a ground breaking approach by storing the beer at -20 degrees for three weeks to get it to 32%.
As I mentioned, it's sold out at the moment, but they have other beers for sale, and you can always keep the site handy for when the next batch is ready for purchase. You can head on over to the Brew Dog site HERE to check it all out.

There's a pretty decent article over at Lifehacker about how to stock your bar for a party, all for $100.
It has two ideas, one for a 15 person party, one for a 30 person group, and a 100 person blow out. They have pretty safe choices for what type of liquor you should choose, but that's not a bad thing. If you're stocking for a party, you want liquor that everyone's heard of, and probably likes.
They admit though for the 100 person blow out that your also going to blow your $100 budget.
It's worth taking a look at, and keeping handy for the next party you throw. You can read the article HERE.
