IF you didn't like the piece below on manly beer opening... How about a beer bottle opener that pops open a whole case at one time? It is not on the same plane of manliness, but it's right there in dudeliness.
The manliest beer bottle opener in the history of time. No really, guys, this dude makes girlies of us all. You too, Chuck Norris. (Video)
Somehow, the impending bartender singularity is already in its rococo phase. Because I certainly want my Manhattan brutally shaken and then dispensed through a series of cherub penises....The timeline of cocktail history. Starts with the Fish House Punch in 1732. But why end with the Coctel Algeria in 1960? (From WorldClass)
Tiki torches for the modern ultra-contemporary home (Video). If you have to blend your primitive with the modern in your Tiki decor as I do, these might make an excellent merge point.

Have to say, I’m not impressed with that article. Is there any actual evidence that most of what they claim is true, or is it a ad-in-disguise for Reidel? They make passing references to different tastes on different parts of the tongue (tongue taste maps are myth…) and make all types of claims about why different wine varietals need different shapes. The alcohol world is full of myths and wive’s tales – shouldn’t some critical thought be put into them? Perhaps there are a few good reasons for certain glasses, but I’m quite sure a number of the things that article claims are hogwash.
