Make Good Beer Great with Fizzics

Unless you’ve been featured on MTV “Cribs” it’s unlikely you have a full-on bar in your house, which means the only time you get the delicious taste of beer on tap is when you’re at one.

But now, thanks to Fizzics, you can have beer taste like it’s straight from the tap in the comfort of your own home without all the weird bar people.

Beer is arguably at its best on draft, but most is sold in bottles or cans. The taste between the two can be massive. The Fizzics system fixes that, using a combination of fluid and sound to bring out the most in your beer of choice. That’s right– sound. Here’s how it works: load up your beer, anything from a 12oz can to a 64 oz growler straight from your favorite microbrewery. Pull the handle forward and your glass is filled with beer, calibrated for the perfect amount of carbonation thanks to the pressure system. Then, push the handle backward to initiate the badass “sonication process,” where sound waves turn the beer’s carbonation into Micro-Foam. This ain’t your grandfather’s beer foam: it’s designed to have uniform bubbles, making it perfectly dense, creamy, and flavorful.

Beer snobs and casual Bud Light drinkers alike will love Fizzics. It’s ridiculously easy to use and requires no CO2  filters or cartridges. A couple of batteries, your favorite brew, and you’re set.

And now they have the Waytap, which is portable and sleek: take it with you on your camping trip, tailgating, or to the backyard pool. Or, just put it on your kitchen counter and take a congratulatory sip every time someone compliments or covets it. On second thought, don’t do that– that’s a terrible idea; the comments are bound to be endless.

If you’re not yet convinced this is the answer to your non-bar beer drinking woes like muted taste, flat body, and lackluster foam take it from some brewmasters who tried it for themselves. It’s received rave reviews from Lakefront Brewery, Weyerbacher. Goose Island, and Mispillion River just to name a few.

If you want the original, you can get the Fizzics Beer System for $169.99. If you want the portable version, the Waytap, which can accommodate bottles and cans 12 oz- 25oz, you can get it through their Kickstarter–deliveries should be made in December.

With Fizzics, great beer is possible anywhere.

The summer beer drops just keep coming. Next up, BrewDog USA, the acclaimed brewery out of Ohio. And it's a lovely IPA treated to a pair of hop varieties. Oh, and in case you need some context, National IPA Day is August 7th.

Introducing the BrewDog IPA, a 6.3% ABV beer made with Citra and Chinook hops. The beer comes in a 45 IBUs and is crisp and refreshing. While some IPAs tend to go big on the hop variety count, this one keeps things relatively simple.

Take your summer drinks up a notch with these beer cocktails
Beer is the base for these refreshing summer cocktails
Beer Cocktail

It’s the perfect season for an afternoon beer (especially a beer after mowing the lawn). A crisp pilsner, hoppy IPA, or fruity wheat beer is refreshing on a humid summer day. But if you’ve never used your favorite beer to make a cocktail, you’re truly missing out on something thirst-quenching, complex, and seasonally appropriate.

In my decades of writing about alcohol (with a strong emphasis on beer), I’ve tried my fair share of beer cocktails. I understand that the idea of using beer as the base for a cocktail seems a little strange to some drinkers. But didn’t you also think a pickle and peanut butter sandwich seemed like a strange combination? That worked out pretty well, right?
