Rugbeer
From Argentina comes the latest innovation in beer vending, Rugbeer. You have to tackle it, hard, to get the beer. But don’t worry, American consumers, thanks to our overlawyered, liability-mad culture, you’ll never have your manhood challenged by a novelty beer-vending machine.

On the first day of Christmas….A gift suggestion
My true love gave to me …… a bee-eee-eee-eeee-eeeer! Or maybe a pouring spoon to make black and tans. Now, I do not receive anything for this post, have never gotten a free spoon, but I think this a great item, very cool, and from a small operation trying to make it. So, buy one, […]
