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!]

Wunderbar Serves up the Draft Brewskis Three Ways

Charlie White — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 08:11:29 EST

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.

Wunderbar is offered in your choice of three cooling methods: the low-end Cooler Party ($105) can't chill down drinks but can keep them cold using AA batteries for a beach party or picnic. The midrange kegger is the Cooler Thermo with a thermoelectric cooling system, and the high-end model is the Cooler Professional ($238) using quick compressor cooling just like a Sub-Zero refrigerator. This is getting us thirsty. Very, very thirsty. – Charlie White

HomePub Fridge Chills and Pours Beer

Charlie White — Mon, 20 Feb 2006 17:00:43 EST

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.

Cold Beer, Just in Case

Charlie White — Sat, 11 Feb 2006 13:25:53 EST

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.

Zero To Drunk In Record Time: The Ubertap

Noah R — Mon, 17 Oct 2005 18:00:00 EDT

Born from the disturbing yet pragmatic copulation of Friedrich Nietzsche and Jakob Nielsen, the Ubertap promises to increase party efficiency fivefold. With three spigots and a foot-operated pump, buzz loss is now a thing of the past. Your parties in the past may have dragged on for a tedious hour, frustration building with each passing second. But now you should be able to drain the keg and cover the kitchen floor with a frothy layer of delicious vomit within 12 minutes.
