The nerds at Yelp who revolutionised the way 20-something girls could give their opinions on stuff and actually have it matter in the slightest, have turned their attention to beer. Namely, making an iPad and a keg work together. More »
The good folks at Heineken, whom you may have noticed have been advertising their new Draughtkeg system on Giz recently, thought it would be a good idea to send us one of them to “review”. I reluctantly agreed. More »
Call it fate, call it destiny, call it luck – Late last week when I popped into the office for my regular weekly visit, there were two very interesting products on my desk: The Heineken Draught Keg you may have seen advertised on Giz recently, and the new Singstar wireless microphones, complete with a copy of Singstar: Queen.

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. [Brainstorm9 via NotCot.org]
Believe it or not, yesterday I learnt there are people who don’t like beer. However, I’m sure they won’t be able to resist the charm of Beer2-D3, which is as cute as B3-3R.
This, my friends, is what you call asking for trouble: the new arcade driving cabinet Octane 120, from Dream Arcades, comes with a built-in keg-o-rator, with the beer tap placed conveniently on the dash next to the steering wheel. You know, so you can accurately practice your drunk driving in a safe environment before busting out your sloppy skills on Saturday night.
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 $US119, 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.
What more can we ask for? This September, arcade cabinet manufacturer Dream Arcades will be releasing a sit-down unit that’s pretty much every childhood and adult fantasy we’ve had rolled into one. Built upon a “high-end gaming PC” platform, the Octane 120 displays games through a 10-foot screen with its built-in projector and it will pour you a cold one at your leisure.
I once had a job delivering beer to bars but I only lasted a day, mostly because my body is built for blogging and not manual labour. If the Kegstand was around at that time I may have gone down a much different career path. This tub-on-wheels makes the keg easy to roll around, has a snap-on–and hopefully watertight–tub that can be filled with ice to keep your brew cool, and a drainage spout to empty out all that nasty beer water at the end of the night. Sadly, you’ll still have to keep pumping iron if you want a keg at your next party–it’s just a concept for now. [The Greener Grass via Core77]
