Miller Lite is taking the whole drink in front of the fireplace thing quite literally. Today, the macro brewer released YuleLager, or a beer-pouring fireplace inspired by the famous yule log. Now, folks can have a good nightcap drink before a beer-dispensing pretend hearth.

What’s included? For starters, an LED screen playing an 8-hour loop of burning wood. You also get a pouring contraption meant to look like a chimney withe a custom tap handle. What’s more, there’s audio mimicking crackling fire sounds, spare beer storage, and hooks to hang stockings.

For Miller Lite and inexpensive domestic beer fans, Christmas seems to have come early. And don’t worry, the thing could not be easier to use. Just plug it all in and add your own stash of beer to the chimney system for cold-keeping.

“As a beer brand known for going all out during the holidays, we wanted to create an epic item that encourages fans to come together with friends and family over something as simple and satisfying as Miller Lite,” says Alan Bremerkamp, director of marketing for Miller Lite. “That’s why we created the Miller Lite YuleLager. Whether you like to go all out for the holidays, or just keep things simple, the Miller Lite YuleLager puts an all-new twist on gathering around the fire during all your festive moments.”

Supply and demand are constantly in flux but a recent shortage caused a major brand some shock. Guinness, the company behind the world's most famous dark beer, had to tap into its emergency supply so as not to run out. With distribution to just about every bar on planet Earth, Guinness is one of the largest producers in the land.

So how could the beer possibly stop flowing? It's been reported that the holiday stretch in Britain took a huge dent out of the draft lines. So much so that Guinness had to retreat to its emergency beer stockpiles in Ireland to keep pint glasses full.
