Mob Takes Over Office Lighting To Transform Tower Into Giant Frosty Pint
Sure it's an ad, but taking over your office building's lighting system en masse with an army of thirsty friends as an homage to every Irishman's favorite stout is a pretty refreshing dream while you're pinned inside your cubicle. Now if we could just do this with a massive INSTEON installation—then we'd be set. Check out the flashmob-inspired ad after the jump. Now I'm thirsty and it's barely even noon. More »

Octane 120: Arcade Cabinet Meets Kegerator Meets Home Theater
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. More »

'Sculpture' Fires Beer Bottles at a Wall at 373MPH
Now this is what I call art. It's a sculpture/robot that flings empty beer bottles at a solid wall at 373 MPH, smashing them to smithereens. As the exhibit goes on during the day, a pile of green shards of glass piles up under the wall. It's a comment on rock and roll or something, but I'm a simple man. I just like seeing things smash. If you're like me, you can go check out the cannon at the SUPERDOME exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. Hit the jump for another shot of the cannon in action. More »

A Beer-Shooting Minigun Can't Possibly Be a Bad Idea
We're not exactly sure how this beer minigun promotes pacifism as the creator claims, but who are we to argue? An entrant in the Nastro Azurro UnBEERlievable Collection, it's just one of many beer-inspired technologies that we're absolutely certain would function perfectly if fabricated for real life use. Luckily, no one designed a beer that could drink itself. [Nastro Azurro via TrendsNow]

Kegstand Keg-On-Wheels is Great for Weak Frat Boys, Bloggers
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 labor. 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]

Party-A-Cargo Brings the Bro-Down to Wherever Your Truck Can Park
Hey dudebro, looking to take a bro-dtrip but afraid you'll make the ultimate braux-pas: not bringing enough beer and having a totally whack sound system? Chill out man, Party-A-Cargo's got your back with its tow hitch mounted kegerator. The Party-A-Cargo Ultimate can store up to 160 glasses of beer and contains a jockey box with two 6 inch by 9 inch speakers and a 10 inch subwoofer. More »

Milkscreen System Prevents Party Moms From Getting Their Babies Drunk
Just because you have a baby at home doesn't mean that your partying days must come to an end. Fortunately, mothers that like to go out on Saturday nights and have a few drinks can prevent passing boob booze onto their kid using a system called Milkscreen. Basically, Milkscreen is a litmus test that screens breast milk for alcohol that could have a negative impact on a baby's health. The whole thing seems a little weird in a contentiously irresponsible sort of way, but I suppose it is better to be safe than have a drunken baby on your hands. Available for $20 for a large pack.[Milkscreeen via Inventor Spot via Ubergizmo]

I'm not sure who built this jacuzzi nor do I have all the details on its construction, but I have to give credit to the people behind it. Those Heineken crates look like they make a decent framework and they ensure that a warm, possibly hot beer is never out of arms reach. Actually, it could use a little work on that end but still—its amazing what a bunch of drunks can do when they put their mind to it. [Ellf via about:blank]

Bierstick
Bierstick Requires Busty Girl to Operate
The Bierstick is a syringe for beer. For some reason. It allows to drink 24 ounces in less than two seconds—probably breaking your throat in the process if you are not an expert—and it's FDA-approved for use in swimming pool and lingerie parties. The Bierstick only costs $20, plus the $500 you would probably need to pay for the busty girl in white undies required for it to work properly, according to the photos in the instruction manual.

college
A group of electrical engineering students at West Virginia University has built the most insane beer pong table ever. It's got lights all around that react to the music playing as well as a pair of built-in swirling ball washers. It's incredible. They're taking orders for them now if you want one of your own, but be warned: this first one cost them $1,000 and 400 hours of work to complete, so it won't be cheap. Hit the jump for a video of it in action, and be sure to skip to 2:30 unless you think still photos of electrical engineering majors and circuit boards are suddenly cool when set to Linkin Park.

E-Fuel MicroFueler Turns Sugar, Stale Beer Into Gas For Your Ride
The dream of a home ethanol pump has been realized, says the New York Times, thanks to inventor named Floyd S. Butterfield. One of the world's only celebrated non-hillbilly still-makers, Butterfield has invented the $10,000 E-Fuel 100 MicroFueler, a gadget that combines heaps of sugar and a sprinkling of yeast to ferment an alcoholic brew which it then distills into ethanol. The notion is that, as long as the price of sugar stays relatively low, it could cost about $1 per gallon to make the fuel. It's even cheaper when you put un-drunk stale beer in the system: Since the fermentation is done, all it takes is the electricity to distill the beer into

beer
Are there any tragedies greater than really wanting a cold beer and only having warm beers on hand? Without thinking too long about it, I'm going to go ahead and say no, there aren't. That's why I'm excited to see this method of chilling a warm can of beer down to a frosty, drinkable temperature in about 20 seconds. Sure, it's much more expensive and stupid than just planning ahead and using a fridge, but when you're in a bind you're in a bind. [Book of Joe]
