Insert bottle, pull handle to pour most of beer, push handle to make a creamy head. Seems kind of gimmicky, but I would like to try it.

What say you?

 

[orangehero]

Are you tired of spilled beer?! (Shot of beer spraying all over the place)
Are you tired of tediously holding a bottle to pour?! (Shot of sad face while looking at watch)
Are you tired of knowing when to tilt the bottle so you get a good head?! (Shot of glass filled with foam)
Is your trigeminal nerve tired of unpleasant grainy sensations?! (Shot of guy in labcoat with clipboard)

It just needs to be $19.95 + Shipping & Handling.

This is an exclusive offer and quantities are limited, so CALL NOW!!! The first 50 callers get an "I FIZZED IN YOUR BEER" T-shirt!

 

[day_trippr]

Wow.

Any kegger knows you can produce all the "head" you want by just cracking the faucet for the last bit of the pour.

And it doesn't take one hella ugly faucet rig, either

Cheers!

 

[hunter_le five]

Or just learn how to do a proper pour to get the amount of head you want. Seems kind of unnecessary to me.

 

[Sailingeric]

It seems like the Brewnanny, a solution for a problem that does not exist but at least this one looks like it is ready for the market.

 

[Psylocide]

I carb to 7 vols... great head every time. Barely any beer in there at all. I tell people it's on nitro.

 

[MattyIce]

Sound waves, guys. Sound waves.

 

[Gavin C]

Going to have to start shouting at my beer as I pour. Obviously it will take some experimentation as to which profanities and/or songs from Frozen have the desired harmonics for the correct head type. Style dependent of course.

 

[k1ngl1ves]

After reading about halfway through, I realized this isn't a joke.




It's even more saddening that it looks like they are going to probably make their target goal...

Dude... just...

Let It Go.

*runs out of room & hides*

 

[Turkeyshot]

Great another useless appliance to put in the corner of a kitchen cabinet after the novelty wears off, way before the box is opened. Plus by the time I would put a beer in there and get ready to pour it, I would already be on my second one.

Also if you had multiple people drinking different beers are you going to rinse it out between every bottle so as not to mix the remnants from the last bottle into the next one.

That's why we're doubling the offer! That's right, you get two useless pieces of junk just pay separate shipping and handling!

[treacheroustexan]

Super unnecessary.

 

[Turkeyshot]

I also like how on their crowdfunding page it says:

"Elevate store bought beer into expert draft quality beer, the way the brewers intended it to taste. "

All I know is that when I bottle my beer that is how I intended it to taste. Not what comes out of their ridiculous contraption.

I thought the same exact thing.

HAH I just had soda come out my nose.

 

[hunter_le five]

Probably because you overcarbed it too

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

I swear a buddy of mine had a regular tap handle that was one way for foam and one way for beer. And this was a while ago.

You mean a creamer faucet?

 

[MarshmallowBlue]

I bottle, so I guess it'd be that.

 

[day_trippr]

You mean a creamer faucet?

Which itself is ironically unnecessary.
But I bet Perlick hooked a lot of people with that one...

Cheers!

 

[ktblunden]

Finally! I no longer have to rely on licensed craft beer engineers to pour my beers for me. I'm in for 6!



Can you imagine how pretentious that would look?
Friend: "Hey, you want a beer?"
You: "Sure."
Friend: *Opens fridge, removes beer, grabs a glass, opens beer.*
You: *Reach for the beer.*
Friend: *Walks past you to device on counter. Opens the lid, sets the beer inside, inserts dip tube, closes lid, pulls handle, dispenses beer, pushes handle forward to dispense foam, opens lid, removes empty bottle, closes lid, turns back to you to hand you your beer.*
You: *Halfway through the beer you got yourself and poured the caveman way.* No thanks, I got it.

 

[Psylocide]

I will say that this campaign is doing quite a bit better than Jizzics.

What kind of savage barbarian are you?

 

[ktblunden]

What kind of savage barbarian are you?

It gets worse. I don't even raise my pinky finger when I drink that beer.

 

[1977Brewer]

The Keurig for beer!

 

[Brettomomyces]

Sure seems like a lot of c-suite for an indiegogo project that could be replaced with a straw you blow into

 

[orangehero]

It's funny they don't say what their backgrounds actually are. What is a technologist?

The closed captions for the video are pretty good.

 

[SnakeRidge]

What is a technologist?

Probably a robot.

 

[hunter_le five]

Probably a robot.

And consequently not to be trusted.

 

[orangehero]

R2-Beer2?

I don't know if he's just doing it fast but it appears to pour way too foamy.

[Turkeyshot]

I could probably take a mouthful of beer, swish it around in my mouth and spit it back in the glass, to achieve the same effect. Then of course being the gracious host that I am, offer it to company.

 

[Psylocide]

"See how this beer was supposed to have CO2 in suspension? Annnnnd it's gone!"


"Wow, that's great!"

 

[JonM]

I ... I'm still not sure if this is a) a remarkably useless and unnecessary doodad or b) a clever comedy sketch that mocks the hell out of the mega-pretentious beer snobs.

If it's the latter, then it's genius.

Avast, spambot!
