Nothing screams party more than a keg and fruity booze. So why not combine the two and make your shindig EPIC? Introducing the Fruit Keg Tapping Kit. Turn any melon, or sphere-shaped fruit or veggie (try a pumpkin for a Halloween gathering), into a festive and delicious keg for your next party with this easy-to-use tool. Simply slice the bottom of the said fruit or veggie for a flat surface, cut the top off and hollow out the insides, then fill it with your desired beverage. Instantly transform it into a keg as you insert the shank-faucet combo into the front. Now all that is left to do is party and have a good time – so let’s get the party started!

This Beer Aroma Booster

Nobody likes stale beer, but luckily the Sonic Foamer is here to keep that brew of yours foamy and rich. As any experienced beer drinker will know, the aroma lies in the head of the beer – once that head is gone, so is the aroma and flavor of the beer, and where is the fun in that? Revive the foam head with the Sonic Foamer, a clever little device that uses just two teaspoons of water and precisely calibrated ultrasonic waves to create bubbles in the beer glass, resulting in a delicious and aromatic creamy head. Now you and your buddies can enjoy a pint always bursting with flavor. Cheers!

 A Beer Layering Tool

They say two is better than one, and it certainly rings true when it comes to the classic Black and Tan. Widely popular in late 19th century Britain, this fascinating drink combines two opposites in the beverage world into one delicious glass: the pale ale and the dark stout. Due to the finesse and skill required to make the drink, it is usually not a popular drink to recreate in your home bar…until now. Impress your friends and create a perfect Black and Tan with this handy beer-layering tool. Made to fit perfectly over a pint glass, all you need to do is pour your selected beverage as the bottom layer into the glass, then with the layering tool on top, slowly pour your second or third layer in – and presto! Before you know it, a perfectly layered glass of two or even three beers is in your hand. We do encourage you to experiment. (Hard cider and Guinness anyone?)
