Never Drink a Warm Beer Again with the Corkcicle Chillsner

One of the biggest L’s (losses) you can take in life is when you’re trying to enjoy an ice cold beer on a hot summer day, and before you know it, your beer is as warm as the pool you’re wading in.

Now, there’s a better way to keep your beer and your day ‘chill’ with the Corkcicle chillsner.

For years, men have been trying to come up with a solution to the issue, like freezing pint glasses before adding the beer, cheap foam koozies, or simply downing the beer before it succumbs to its element. Corkcicle is a creative company that has set out to find unique ways in keeping liquids at their desired temperatures — from cooling canteens, to wedged whiskey glasses, and now a beer chiller.

Before using the Corkcicle chillsner, you’ll need to freeze it four about 45 minutes to make sure the ice is sufficiently cold for multiple uses, if desired. Then, simply insert the chillsner into a standard-sized (12 oz.) long neck beer bottle. Now you’re in the clear to enjoy your beer colder and longer just by drinking straight through the chillsner.

Although it suits perfect for outdoor parties, weddings, and tailgates, the chillsner is also a great tool for those who like to sip and enjoy their beer rather than try and beat the forces of science. Besides, beer brewers put the “best served at 44 degrees Fahrenheit” for a reason. Cold beer is better beer.

These gadgets have truly revolutionized the art of consuming liquids, whether it be for sport, for leisure, or for fun. In this instance, Corkcicle has solved a ubiquitous issue that has stumped warm-weathered, beer loving man for quite some time. Now, you’ll never have to drink warm beer again.

You can find the chillsner 2-pack for just $20 on Amazon.

I Take Back Everything I Said About Brunch
From Thai breakfast soup to Israeli spreads and Bloody Marys in the West Village, these are the New York City brunches that finally converted a former brunch hater..
Food, Food Presentation, Brunch

In my dissolute youth, I worked as a line cook in a hotel kitchen on Martha's Vineyard. Oh, how I loathed the brunch shift. Churning out a never-ending procession of yogurt parfaits and chocolate-chip pancakes, I wanted to dunk my head in the deep fryer by noon every Sunday. I even pitied the customers, who paid a premium for uninspired fare prepared by hungover, pissed-off cooks. Brunch? Fie upon it! The repast of brain-dead yoga moms.

But how age changes us. Now approaching forty, I'm something of a brunch maximalist. I once fancied myself an urban Viking, subsisting on pre-workout and nicotine by day and steak and whiskey by night. These days, I prefer nothing more than a lazy Sunday morning with my girlfriend in a sunlit dining room. Twin cappuccinos. Smoked salmon eggs Benedict. Tabasco-spiked Bloody Marys. A post-prandial stroll through the West Village. Why the hell did I shun such joys for so many years?

A Le Cordon Bleu graduate and HACCP-trained food safety expert with more than 20 years of experience, including serving in a James Beard Award-winning kitchen, fine-dining chop houses and boutique butcheries, he brings whole-chain expertise to Verde Farms' commitment to organic, 100% grass-fed beef from pasture to plate.
