The Scotsman Trufill is a new beverage pouring system that pours your beer with perfect head and faster! They claim 10 pints in 10 seconds which seems like right around the rate I drink them. It works by using a special glass and pouring from the bottom of the glass up instead of pouring in from the top. Cool idea, now i just need to get one for my house.

Have you ever wanted to pour your booze through an elaborate contraption attached to your fridge before drinking? Well the Chugulug Drinks Factory seems to be the answer. I think Gizmodo had the best tagline: If Rube Goldberg Were an Underage Girl You Wanted to Get Drunk.
The setup comes with the following and magnets to your fridge for easy access:
If you’re like many people, some of the most recent innovations (cell phones, text messages, electronic mail, etc.) have opened up a whole new way to make an ass of yourself when drunk or otherwise in a state of poor judgement.
Well, Google’s got your back with a newly released Labs feature. This one is called Mail Goggles and it’s intended to help you avoid sending those late night or weekend emails that you’ll regret later.
As stated on their blog, “it will check that you’re really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you’re in the right state of mind?”
God bless you Google.
bier stick, a drinker's new best friend
Behold, the newest method to consume large amounts of beer in as little time as possible. We found this over at LiquorSnob.com, and we were sold immediately. From the picture above, you might be thinking: “Dude, I heard Motley Crue injected beer into their forearm and shit, but I don’t think it’s my thing, man.” Chill out, hombre. The next image explains the perfect form in a superior fashion than I can with mere words. Behold:
Here are the written instructions from their website, it’s just three simple steps:
Step 1: Buy the Bierstick
Step 2: …….
Step 3: Busty brunettes in their underwear and beer!!
We’re very proud of reaching the 100k mark in just two weeks. That’s the nerdy equivalent of a gold record, right? If you haven’t heard yet, we recently launched pour1out, a free iPhone application.
Pour1out is an iPhone application paying homage to the street tradition of pouring out some of your 40oz to commemorate fallen homies. The main feature is a motion-sensitive 40oz beer bottle that pours out when you tilt the iPhone. Users can select any of 40cozy’s beer koozies to add to the virtual beer. The greatest feedback involves the one-click button that finds the nearest liquor store, utilizing the iPhone’s GPS functionality.
We initially had some glitches in the first version, but I guess that’s what you get when you pay the developer in beer. We’ve released a newer version with better coding and we’ll keep working to improve the app.
While we’ve received some very positive reviews from several beer-drinking sites, it seems some of the iPhone users are slightly less impressed. We’re pretty sure they don’t get the tongue-in-cheek, ironic beauty of an application inspired by a $2.45 beer for a $300 phone. It has a button that finds the nearest liquor stores… and it’s free! Are you not entertained?
Perhaps they think we’re a slick corporate company trying to capitalize on the street cred of the 40oz. Well, we’re not. The app was created by Scott, our resident tech-savvy guy, in under two weeks. He filmed the 40 oz pouring out beer in his garage, dusted off his programming textbook, slapped at a keyboard for a long time, and behold: 40cozy’s pour1out.
We’re proud of it and we hope you enjoy it. We’re already working on another iPhone app for drinkers that’s going to blow every other app out of the water. That’s right, developer bitches, get ready for more genius from 40cozy.
So I do a lot of beer-releated web-browsing during the work-week. Part of that is because I’m a slacker and part of it is because of where I work. One of the funniest things I’ve found during these productive days is the surprising amount of robots designed and built to do something involving beer or drinking. I’ve put together a list of five of my favorites in no particular order.
This one made it on letterman. Its a fridge that launches a beer to you! I don’t see how you would ever open it after the toss though, the foam would spray all over.
Go on over and check out the 25 clever pick up lines at Sloshspot. I’ve implemented the polar bear one, gotta have a sense of humor for that one though. You’ll be thanking them if one of these lines hits big… or cursing them after a drink is poured in your lap. Here’s one for the bold:
Excuse me. My friend over there is a little embarrassed. He’d like your phone number. He wants to know where he can get a hold of me in the morning.
The fine people at Sloshspot have created a website that can always answer the question “Where should I go out tonight?” When 4:30 starts rolling around, use that last half hour at the office to actually do something, like utilize their targeted search for nightlife and entertainment to figure out how you’ll regain some of the life that monotonous day at work sucked out of you.
I need to buy one of these:
The only thing missing on this robot is a disco ball.
We get emails all the time from disgruntled drunks stating, “Dude, I totally thought up the 40oz koozie like freshman year. Screw you, bro.” The thing is, we understand, because the same bullshit happens to us on a regular basis. Too many times have we felt like the characters in Knocked Up when they come to realize Mr. Skin’s Nude Celebrity Movie site had been around for years. Well, last weekend was no different.
We were a few beers deep, the creative juices flowing. Someone mentioned making a giant beer koozie for a keg, and we were already deep in the product development when I typed it in the ole google machine. Well, well, what do you know? Hats off to the other mildly inventive folks at Kegger Industries for creating the Keg Coat.
Chances are that if you can figure out how to use your computer, you’re not drunk enough to need this blood alcohol content calculator. However maybe you are an extremely highly-functioning drunk like myself. Well if you’re curious how much of the juice is running through them veins, then check out RUPissed?
While it’s in that damn unAmerican metric system, it still works- and they’ve got a converter for us freedom lovers. Well, most of the time it’s accurate. It told me that after drinking 15 beers in 3 hours “you are probably unconcious,” which I currently believe is false. The best thing about this is to figure out what your typical night entails and then calculate how high your BAC will be. If you’ve crushed 2/3 of a 30 pack, it might tell you that it’s not such a good idea to put together your most recent Ikea purchase.
