Randall Jr.

If you’re looking to add a little something extra to your next brew, then check out the Randall Jr. from Dogfish Head. This portable version of the Randall 3.0 is basically a combination of a travel mug and french press, and allows you to infuse your favorite beer with whatever ingredients you can think up.

Want to add some espresso beans to your next stout to kick the coffee flavor up a notch? Go ahead. Some citrus in your next hefe? Sure, why not.

Just place your ingredients in the Randall Jr., pour the beer in, place the concoction in a cold climate (like a fridge) for 10 minutes, and enjoy.

Still not sold?

Then check out the informercial:

The Randall Jr. is just $19.99, and can be purchased on the Dogfish Head website.

BrewCave Walk-In Beer Cooler

BrewCave

Nobody needs a BrewCave.

But then again, nobody needs a Ferrari, and you wouldn’t see me turning one down if I could afford it.

The BrewCave is a climate controlled, walk-in beer cooler that doubles as the world’s largest kegerator, with room for 30 cases of beer and four kegs.

Each panel of the BrewCave is shipped individually, so you just assemble them all together where you want your BrewCave to be, and in a few short hours, you will have built your own beer shrine.

Complete with floor, the BrewCave will set you back nearly $7,000, so this is no small investment, but if you’ve got the space for it, and if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

10-in-1 Utili-Key

There are a few different multi-tools that masquerade as keys, but with a little bit of work and creativity, you can turn just about any key blank into your very own 10-in-1 Utili-Key.

Featuring a bottle opener, phillips screwdriver, flat tip screwdriver, wood saw, rope cutter, wire cutter, hexagonal key, knife sharpener, nail trimmer and nail file, it’s practically all you’d need to survive once the zombies arrive.

Interestingly enough, about the only thing it doesn’t do is actually open doors!

Anchor Plaza

Since 1958, both Anchor Brewing and the Giants have shared the city of San Francisco, and now, they share a location within that city as well.

The newly created Anchor Plaza at AT&T Park will serve Giants fans with hand-crafted beers from Anchor Brewing, spirits from Anchor Spirits, and a selection of foods that are designed to pair well with both.
