Put Your Vices Together for Coffee-beer
Feast your eyes on the newest Swiss invention: Coffee-beer, a “fermented coffee beverage” that has been patented in every major market around the world by Nestac (part of the Nestle empire). The beverage is basically a super-caffeinated liquid that pours like a beer but smells like coffee. No alcohol included. To make it, coffee beans are roasted and the chemicals that contain the natural aroma are collected in a cryogenic condenser and then converted to coffee oil. The rest of the roast are ground into powder, mixed with yeast and sugar and fermented for 4 hours at 22 degrees Celsius. This way, the yeast still metabolises but doesn’t convert to alcohol. They then mix the oil in with the liquid and nitrogen and that is injected to make foam.

VB going soft | August 21st, 2009 |
It was recently announced that Australia’s highest selling beer, Victoria Bitter, will cut its alcohol content by 0.2% to 4.6% next month. This action was taken in order to curb an increase in retail price, as ingredients (such as barley) have risen 20% due to the drought. This is in addition to the 0.1% decrease that occurred in 2005. The Herald Sun interviewed a number of people and there was a general assumption that drinkers wouldn’t be [....]
Fake Beer Belly Gets You Tanked | February 7th, 2009 |
I can't tell if this is too stupid for words or stupendously ingenious. Guess you'll have to make your own call. It's called the Beerbelly and it's actually a fake gut that you can fill up with beer (or your favorite alcoholic beverage) and hide under your clothes. Made up of a sling and a polyurethane "bladder" with a dispensing tube, the thing was created to let you slip booze into places where such substances may not [....]
