Tap Boards
March 12, 2009
Tap Boards ($22) are a unique item for the beer lover or establishment owner. Instead of constantly having to swap taps whenever you break out a new keg, just note the change on the chalkboard insert. Save time and money with this innovation that adds a more personalized touch to any bar.
Kegstand
July 7, 2008
Summer is prime time for parties, now throwing a kegger just got a little easier. The Kegstand allows you to easily move your keg around without throwing out your back. If you don’t have a kegerator it also keeps the keg cold (when you add ice). Since im such a germaphobe my favorite part is the notch that holds the tap. See more pictures.

Carlsberg Vintage No. 1
January 31, 2008
Scandinavia’s largest brewery has announced it will be selling the worlds most expensive beer. The Carlsberg Brewery in Denmark introduced Vintage No. 1 which will sell for 2,008 Danish kroner (almost $400) per bottle. The price is based on the year introduced (next years batch will cost 2009 Danish kroner), Carlsberg Brewery claims the beer is cheap considering how long it took them to develop the brew. The beer contains hints of prune, caramel, vanilla and oak tree from the French and Swedish wooden casks in which it is stored. They only produced 600 bottles of the 10.5 percent proof beer each only 0.8 pint. Currently the beer is only available at select Danish restaurants, and a limited quantity will be available for purchase on their website. [Bloomberg/via]

January 14, 2008
While this 40oz beer cozy may not be new its still a pretty great idea. The Cozy is sold by Urban Outfitters and is perfect for carrying around you 40oz beverage of choice. At a modest price of $12 and it would make a great gift for those who enjoy a Brass Monkey (half 40oz Mickey’s, half Screwdriver) every once in awhile
Home Brewing System
August 27, 2007
The image above looks like a DIY drug lab but its not (unless you consider alcohol a drug). The Home Brewing System does everything from boiling concentrated wort to pouring a nice cold glass of beer. Future plans are to include a third cart to convert raw grain to wort. The brewing process takes about 3 months and costs $4,315 for the Home Brewing System. Depending on how much you drink this thing could pay for itself. [via] More Pictures and a Video.

July 20, 2007
Anyone who has ever bought a mini keg knows just how shitty those plastics taps that are included really are, well all that is about to change thanks to the new Avanti Mini Pub. This new cooler holds a typical mini keg (5-liter keg) and makes use of an integrated tap that allows you to draw your beer tavern-style. In addition the cooler features a external LCD that shows the exact temperature of the cooler and allows adjustments with the of a touch of a button. (temps range from 37F to 53F) Also included is a pressure gauge on the exterior of the cooler that regulates the CO2 content and allows you to alter the carbonation allowing the consumer to enhance the flavor and aroma of any beer. The best part is the fact that the cooler can use typical 16-gram CO2 cartridges so consumers won’t have to worry about constantly refilling a CO2 tank, however it can a use 340-gram CO2 tank (unfortunately not included). The unit comes in 7″ H x 15″ W x 15″ D. (16 lbs.) and is reasonably priced at $299.99
