Eau de Beer

December 23rd, 2009

I guess it was only a matter of time before some Real Man of Genius created a perfume out of beer. Because who wouldn’t love to smell like a drunk hobo?

Welcome to Seattle’s Blue Marble Energy, where chemists are cooking up a perfume made from the waste products of a local organic brewery.

“This is a viscous sludge,” said James Stephens. “It’s a mixture of about 50,000 different kinds of bacteria.”

Black sludge, rancid beer grains, green slimy stuff and it is all good for the Earth and for consumers. The grains replacing petroleum in the process making this perfume completely carbon neutral.

Unfortunately, despite the ingredients in the new “Eos” perfume, it does not smell like beer. But the local, handmade perfume by Sweet Anthem does smell nice, coming in both masculine and feminine versions.

Maybe it will smell nice. At least one guy in the article seems to be sold on the idea.

“Beerfume,” suggests one bargoer. “A lot of people like beer and a lot of people like women.”

Well put, guy. Might not be too late to get your lucky lady a sludge-based beauty product. Video after the jump.

Why Didn’t Bud Light Think of This?

December 18th, 2009

beerdogThat Bud Light “Tailgate Tested, Tailgate Approved” guy really missed his opportunity here. The Bark4Beer is a dog collar with a bottle opener on it! And (insert man’s best friend joke here). This might not be a bad stocking-stuffer, though, you know, if you do a lot of drinking with your dog around.

The collar, invented by buddies Adam Harris and John Hornbeak features a built in bottle opener that offers a retractable cord. Just unclip the opener and open your bottle, then retract it back into place. It’s that simple and we have the video below that shows it off.

Not sure what would sound difficult about a bottle opener on a dog’s collar, but I digress. You can pick up your very own Bark4Beer here for only $14.95 plus shipping.
