Posted on April 17, 2009 by Joel Johnson

A twenty will get you the honor of four “12 Gauge Shot Glasses” just begging to have a small blasting cap wired into the bottom for remote detonation. Shipping is from the U.K., so expect it to sting like rock … Continue reading →

How best to turn fruit into shot glasses without a specialized tool?

Posted on March 27, 2009 by Joel Johnson

Great idea for a spring fling, but surely this can be done more simply than with a single-purpose $13 (plus shipping) “ShotCarver”. A piece of steel conduit? An empty pill bottle? [via Doug Aamoth]

Hold Your Heads Up High: You’ll never drink alone with the Octopus Tap

Posted on March 10, 2009 by Joel Johnson

The “Octopus Tap” is a standard push-powered keg tap with only half-an-octopus’ worth of spouts attached. Perfect for those like me who drink alone but wish they could fill their cups four times as fast. The basic Octopus Tap costs … Continue reading →

Agwa De Bolivia, coca leaf and herb liqueur

Posted on February 16, 2009 by Joel Johnson

Tap Boards are brilliant little chalkboards inside wooden taphandles, making it simple to mark what beneficent liquid will flow from the spout below. They were made with the homebrewer (and pro-am homedrinker) in mind, designed as they were by the … Continue reading →

It’s safe to say BaR2D2 is the world’s finest robot bartender

When we were 18 or so, my buddy Mike and I stumbled onto a bit of fried gold: instead of hosting our own parties — inevitably money-losing affairs with the risk of parental seizure — we’d host parties for others. … Continue reading →
