Waste Of Beer: Christmas Tree Made From 1,000 Full Heineken Bottles
It's not as dangerous as a Tesla Coil tree, but imagine 1,000 full Heineken beer bottles raining down on your head. I hope the creators of this giant sculpture in Shanghai, China, used superglue. [Recyclart via Inhabitat]

Stella Artois Uses Augmented Reality In Cool iPhone App
It's lunch (in the UK, anyway), I'm feeling worse for wear after last night's drink-a-thon, and it's only four days until Christmas, so this Stella Artois app is looking very attractive to me. Even if I don't drink beer. More »

At last, the long awaited Space Barley—the beer made with barley grown in space—is here to take you where everyone has been before: Drunk. Fortunately, nobody can hear you shouting in space, which is good for my hangovers. More »

Some Germans Built This Outdoor Library Out Of Beer Crates
This particular architectural gem could only come from Deutschland. It's an outdoor library partially constructed out of beer crates. Not surprising that they've been working on it since 2005 though, takes time to empty out the crates after all. More »

You Guys Had Some Wild and Crazy Windows 7 Launch Parties

Disco Ball Keg is an Understated Way to Get Your Beer
This is an interesting gimmick, sure, but what genius decided to put a keg in something with a rounded base? How does this stand up straight? Come on. Also, Heineken is gross. [Brainstorm9 via NotCot.org]

The Beer Can Celebrates 50 Years of Metallic Aftertaste
Today is the 50th anniversary of the aluminum beer can, released by Coors in 1959. And while I was prepared to make fun of cans for a few hundred words, they're actually sort of interesting. More »

NanoBrewMaster Home Brew Station Will Be the End of Me

Weird Combo of the Day: Bailey's Irish Cream With Free Nivea Skin Cream
I have to share this submission for a booze-related non-gadgety Weird Combo of the Day, which we get more often than not. What are these people thinking? Are the people in charge of product synergy more than occasionally enjoying the products they're synergizing? Perhaps. Or it could be that in Shanghai reader Charles' neighborhood, they're just making loose associations between these two types of creams. No matter; the Nivea probably tastes rich going down too. [Thanks Charles!]

Beer Chilling Exercise Bike Puts You On the Drunk Diet
Don't be fooled. Pedaling around on a bike that chills your beers probably won't result in much weight loss. In fact, you may actually pack on a few as you enjoy the beechwood aged fruits of your labor. The bike has a heat pump attached to the pedals so the more you pedal the cooler the beer set inside the copper coil will get. It is just the incentive the lazy couch potato needs to get up and start moving. Next up, tackling the fresh air of the great outdoors. [PEGE via Treehugger via DVICE]

Factory Robot Becomes Bartender for the Evening, Grovels for Tips
TMCO is a manufacturer of metal products in the bustling metropolis of Lincoln, Nebraska. Not exactly somewhere you'd expect to find experiments involving robotics. But here we have a video of one of its factory robots that's been suited up with a shirt and tie and taught to man a set of beer taps. It even has the audacity to ask for tips afterwards, as if robots have any use for money. A robot's currency is its domination of humans, and this one is pretty bankrupt. [Neatorama]

Pownce Beer Robot Justifies Social Networking
In 10 years, I hope we have the sense of humor to laugh at more than a few of our social network addictions as a grand social mistake, like bell bottoms or Friends. But until then, we have the Pownce-based beer pouring robot. And other than serving a brewsky with a bit too much head, it's tough to find much of anything wrong with this LEGO Mindstorms creation other than, you know, encouraging us to drink alone at our computers.
