nifty: chocolate peanut butter beer

Normally the idea of chocolate flavored beer, alcohol, anything freaks me out... but after reading the review of this here "Sweet Baby Jesus" beer, I'm all about trying it. I mean... it's called SWEET BABY JESUS, if that's not enough of a reason.

Apparently it's a fantastic combination of flavors that makes your tongue think it's drinking a Reese's peanut butter cup. The best part: It's brewed in Maryland! That's like... practically Virginia, and probably means it's easy to find, right!?

Pretty much, yes! Just have to find a Du Claw location, and there are a few in Maryland, including BWI airport! Who's ready for a road trip?! cuz I'm already in the car and ready to go try it out.

[Okay, maybe not... but in my head I am.]

nifty: i will only drink heineken once this new bottle debuts

Heineken: not one of my favorite beers. Not even in the top ten-fifteen top options... but I'll tell you what.... If this here bottle that they're introducing is real life and available to everyone soon, it's all I'll be drinking.

Basically, they'll have a little plastic bottom that lights up every time you cheers someone, take a sip, or dance to some loud music. When you're being a lame and not drinking, the light is out. Don't let your light go out.

How FUN does that look?! Someone said "After the novelty wears off, the idea seems absurd. I mean, would you want a beer that lights up every time you took a sip of it?"

Simple answer: Hell to the YES! It'd be an instant party every time!

Someone tell me when this can be in my fridge and how much it's going to cost me... cuz it's going to happen.

how to make a keg out of a pumpkin

This is the most simple, but most necessary party item I think I have ever seen.

If you're planning on having any parties this fall, you must have a homemade pumpkin keg.

It's the easiest thing ever. Carve a pumpkin, stick a spigot in it, and fill it with Octoberfest beer. And then be the coolest party host your friends have ever seen.

Just when I thought I had seen or thought of all the possible pumpkin recipes, this gem comes into my life. Looks like it's time to start planning a party.

watch: guinness teaches men how to man hug

A Guinness commercial getting ready to celebrate St. Patty's Day is telling the guys the rules to giving a man hug.



I think it's funny, and especially for all the "macho guys," they're gonna be all "YA BRO, DON'T TOUCH ME SO MUCH, DUDE!" ..And that's funny to imagine.

But lose the homophobia, DUDES. Give some love to your besties every once in a while. Hasn't a girl ever told you that unless your caressing or kissing another guy, we think it's pretty darn adorable that you're not afraid to show your BFF some man-love.

The A-Line rule... That will just make you look ridiculous. The hard pat- Every one knows that rule, so feel free to live by it.

awesome sculptures made of beer

While a lot of you are coming back from Spring Break, on Spring Break, or about to go on SB10, you're probably going to have piles of beer cans that will show up on Facebook for me to drool over. [The cheaper the beer, the more I drool... That only means you had a great time.]

Anyway... Now I shall make you jealous. While all you're doing is taking the picture of the messy pile, some people are doing something with those empty beers. They're making these awesome concoctions/sculptures:

What a perfect desk companion!



I would want nothing more than this and a shot glass for a souvenir.



Most uncomfortable outfit ever?! Most awesome, too.



Forget your Matchbox cars... This is an entire 1965 Mustang model out of beer cans. FTW!



The definition of man's best friend.



Better than any Legos sculpture...





A purse out of beer tabs... Duct tape is so yesterday.



If this isn't a great way to recycle, I don't know what is.

I know it's hard to look at these and wonder "why haven't I ever done such a thing?!" Trust me, I go through this every day.

"Strivers achieve what dreamers believe" is something Usher once said.
