heineken beertender
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!]

Wunderbar Serves up the Draft Brewskis Three Ways
That thirst for an ice cold beer is welling up big-time as we look at this trio of home beer-dispensing devices called Wunderbar. You can stock it with a 4, 5, or 6-liter keg in your choice of 300 brands of draft beer, and if you don't like the brewskis, you can cool off wine and soft drinks, too. But for us, we'll stick with our beers. Now if we could just find one of these babies here in the States pronto, we could use it for the big GizParty keg season. More »

Kenwood Media Keg HD30GB9: It's Got an Amp
Kenwood hasn't exactly broken through the digital audio player market here in the U.S., but its woefully named HD30GB9 appears to have enough features to at least let it compete with all the non-iPods out there. Users load songs onto the 30GB hard hard using Windows Media Player 10 or Kenwood's own groovy software. While it doesn't support FLAC like some digital audio players are starting to do more often, it does support "Kenwood Lossless audio files" (and MP3 and WMA).

HomePub Fridge Chills and Pours Beer
Never missing an opportunity to think, talk, dream, fantasize about, and of course, drink beer, we bring you HomePub, a kitchen appliance that combines a refrigerator-freezer with a super-kegger. HomePub s draft beer system is nestled inside the door, where its manufacturer says it doesn't take up any space in the refrigerator. Its quiet dual compressors result in a powerful cooling system that chills down those brewskis nice and quick-like. It holds 5-liter kegs, and doubles as a highly capable refrigerator-freezer. Sounds like a nonstop party for about $1100. More »

Cold Beer, Just in Case
If you're looking for a unique way of pouring beer at your next soir e, here's a dispenser that has just the right mixture of geekitude and originality on tap. There are precious few details about this boozy case mod, but we're hoping there's a radically overclocked liquid-cooled computer inside, chilled by the same mechanism that keeps the brewskis cold. So is it a computer that looks like a kegger, or is it a keg disguised as a computer? You be the judge. More »

Zero To Drunk In Record Time: The Ubertap
