Victory!!!

Every culture has its trophies. Golfers have the Masters’ coveted green jacket. The Sioux Indians had human scalps. And now, you and your friends can have this Beer Drinking Champion Trophy Mug ($25.00). Grab a hold of this badboy right by its love handles and get ready to indulge in 64 ounces of cold, frothy goodness. This hand-blown glass measures more like a chalice, at 12” tall and 10” wide. And what better way to celebrate being crowned Beer Drinking Champ than with big swig of beer? Except maybe scalping your buddies…actually, nah…beer is definitely the better way to celebrate.

God? Is it True? It Is! You DO love Me!

Benjamin Franklin once so eloquently stated: “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” However Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer ($2.00) is proof that God loves YOU, and has indeed been listening to your prayers all these years. And the Lord DOES work in mysterious ways: in this case He took the form of two home brewers out of Campton Township, Illinois, with a surplus of tomatoes, a bag of garlic and probably too much time on their hands. Mamma Mia! Pizza Beer is indeed an ale brewed with oregano, basil, tomato and garlic, and, strange as it may seem, it actually does quite hit the spot. So order up a large pepperoni, and make some room in the Craftswork Toolbox Garage Fridge next to the Whales Tale Pale Ale and the Whisky In A Can. This is really happening.

Beach Brew

The brewery down the road from your favorite summer home in Nantucket (further east than Tommy Hilfiger’s place, but if you hit Kathy Lee Gifford’s, you’ve gone too far) has joyously released their famous Whale’s Tale Pale Ale (11.00) in a can. Named in honor of the old whaling capital of the world, the Nantucket brew balances British and domestic malts with dry-hops to create an attractive pairing for most people and food. Which is good news for your annual clambake with Bill Belichick and Dorothy Hamill. She can really throw ‘em back.

Making Suds Out Of Suds

As your personal assistant is always so kind as to point out, sometimes there are days when you smell like a brewery. Well, now, you can say you did it on purpose, with Brooklyn Brewery Beer Soap ($10.00). Pick up a three bar “flight” that features all three Brooklyn Brewery styles: Lager, Brown Ale, and Black Chocolate Stout. Then tell that smarmy assistant where to shove it. Or better yet, have him pick them up for you, along with a bottle of Botot Mouthwash, in case the snide bugger is right.

Here’s To Sam Adams!

When you own as many champagne flutes as you do skivvies, every once in a while, you might find yourself getting bored of traditional bubbly. The brewers at Samuel Adams and Weihenstephan feel your pain. They collaborated to produce Infinium, a crisp new champagne-like beer for men. The deep gold-colored, healthy-headed beer is well carbonated and malty without being too sweet or overly dry. Packaged in a handsome 750ml cork-finished bottle, the new brew contains 10.3 percent alcohol, which is conveniently twice the amount of the average beer. So grab your Corcksicle next time they organize a gala in your honor. Cheers!
