Waste Of Beer: Christmas Tree Made From 1,000 Full Heineken Bottles

Kat Hannaford — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 08:00:24 EST

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]

Disco Ball Keg is an Understated Way to Get Your Beer

Adam Frucci — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 11:10:00 EDT

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]

20-Watt Beer Sound Amplifier Makes Perfect Sense, Really

Jesus Diaz — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:20:00 EDT

Beer + music + electricity = Ultragoodness. You can't go wrong with that formula and this do-it-yourself 20-watt Heineken Draught Keg Guitar Amplifier hits all the right chords perfectly. For $119, and looking this good, it's the perfect present for any drunk guy who loves beer, music, and whose birthday is just around the corner. Yes, that would be me.

You can connect anything you want—MP3 players, guitars, bass guitar, your tongue—then plug it into any regular electrical outlet, and start rocking with glorious tin-can sound. [Etsy via 7Gadgets]

Sean Fallon — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:40:00 EDT

I'm not sure who built this jacuzzi nor do I have all the details on its construction, but I have to give credit to the people behind it. Those Heineken crates look like they make a decent framework and they ensure that a warm, possibly hot beer is never out of arms reach. Actually, it could use a little work on that end but still—its amazing what a bunch of drunks can do when they put their mind to it. [Ellf via about:blank]

Jason Chen — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:30:11 EST

The Heineken Beertender we first wrote about almost four years ago is finally getting its US launch tomorrow, March 1. The beertender is a special for-your-home tap that takes in five-liter Heineken DraughtKegs and dispenses via the tap, for a reasonably authentic home beer experience. It'll be exclusively available at Williams-Sonoma stores starting tomorrow for $299, and move into a wider release schedule at the start of April. [Beer Tender USA - Thanks Jason!]

Heineken Beer Robot Oozes Sexuality, Beer

Beer companies have been using regular women to sell their product for a while, but when they get into robotic women, that's when we start to pay attention. Thanks Ray!
