KegFast Multi-Output Keg Tap Review

First Impressions:

This thing looks insane. KegFast offers 3 versions of their tap, a 2 hose model, 4 hose model, and 6 hose model. They were kind enough to send us a 4 hose model for testing. They also offer taps for every type of keg you can think of, as well as different methods of attaching them to the keg, lever, twist, etc. So it”s basically what you think of when you think of a multi-output keg tap.

Kegger Keg Coat Review

First Impressions:

Well this is impressive. Kegger Industries was nice enough to hook us up with one of these to review and upon receiving it, we were blown away.  The quality of the keg coat is incredible. It feels like the outer shell is made of a material similar to a scuba wet suit. The inner lining is a plastic type material that is also used inside those small soft coolers. So with that in mind, there is no doubt in our minds that this keg coat, will be able to keep our keg cold for a long amount of time without ice. They claim up to 7-8 hours without ice, but honestly what college party has a keg last more than a few hours, so this could be perfect. For our review we are going to get a cold keg, measure the temperature at the start, then place it in the keg coat. Then every 30 minutes we will measure the temperature of a beer to see how well the keg coat is working.

Review:

We tested this out on halloween and we were very impressed. We made sure that the keg was pretty cold to begin with, leaving it in ice for a few hours before placing it into the keg coat at the beginning of the party. You dont need to do this if the keg is cold already, ours was sitting out for awhile so we needed to make it fair and get it cold to begin with. Its very easy to place the keg into the coat, as long as you have a few people that can lift the keg. It doesnt even need to be lifted high, just enough to get the coat under the bottom. The keg fits absolutely perfect into the coat, and its very easy to zip up. The tap hole on the top lines up perfectly so there is no problem tapping the keg. So the setup was very easy, but would it actually keep the keg cold till it was empty… Absolutely!! It was great, no need for ice. We were able to use all the ice we had on the cans, and the keg took care of itself. The coat is supposed to be able to keep a keg cold for up to 7 hours, we finished the keg off in 4, so we werent able to test that theory, but we”re pretty sure it could. This is essential for any party with a keg. No more messing with ice and tubs. This will pay itself off in no time with the money you save on the ice. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product to everyone that drinks!

Suck and Blow Jello Shots Review

First Impressions:

A great way to break the ice. Think about it, you ask a member of the opposite sex to either suck or blow on the end of a 6″ tube, what could be wrong with that. Suck and Blow were nice enough to send us a 16 pack sampler of 2 of their flavors for review. The tubes came pre-made and all ready to go, just needed to be refrigerated. Oh yeah, they needed to be refrigerated, they were leaking all over the box they were shipped in. It was only a few tubes that were leaking and it wasn’t a big mess, just made things a little sticky. Despite the stickiness, they seem like they are going to be lots of fun. Each tube contains 13% alcohol. It is basically just a plastic tube with caps at both ends. After you refrigerate them you decide who is going to suck and who is going to blow, then its pretty self explanatory. Put one end up to each of your mouths and suck or blow. Upon first receiving these we have a feeling they will become an instant hit.
Review:
These guys were right on when they said we”d have fun reviewing this one. The only problem we ran into was that there was only 1 girl around before we went out. So she got the liberty of sucking and blowing all of us. So when we received the suck and blows, a few of them had leaked in transit since they come in liquid form. Obviously since they are jello shots, we placed them in the fridge at about 10 on Thursday night. The fun began around 10 on Friday. Luckily we also had a birthday to celebrate, so these added a little fun to our pre-drinking night. When we took them out of the fridge to start testing we did notice that they weren’t as “jelloy” as jello is supposed to be, which could only mean one thing, there was a good amount of alcohol in them. So for our first test we decided to see if they could even be done without another person. Sure enough you are able to take one of these suckers down by yourself, if your really that pathetic. We also wanted to see how they tasted, and while you could taste a lot of alcohol, they weren’t that bad. So now lets test what these things were really made for. We found out the hard way, but don’t blow as hard as you can if your the one on the “blowing” end. The look on the first persons face was priceless when this load of jello comes rocketing out into their mouth. He almost spit it up everywhere, but managed to keep it in. So now we knew not to blow so hard, although everytime after that the “blowing” person blew as hard as they could, but it just made it more fun. We had a blast with these things using them the right way, but the highlight of the night was testing them the wrong way. I decided that when it was my turn to suck, I was just going to blow as hard as I could. And since the other person was blowing as well, this would make for hilarious consequences. All it made for was a\r\nbig mess and me with half the shot in my mouth and half of it on my arm. There was a lot of jello in these things, since despite being covered in jello, and having a lot of it in my mouth, it also covered\r\nthe floor and sink. So keep in mind, if you don’t have a bigger lung capacity than the other person, and you are trying to blow back at them, your going to get screwed and covered in jello.
Overall these were a lot of fun. We will definitely make more for our next party. I think they would be even more fun in a bar atmosphere, which we are working on, so we’ll keep you posted.

Quaffer Shot Glasses Review

First Impressions:

The shot glass designed with a chaser in mind. Upon opening the box we discovered exactly what we were expecting, and more of them. www.quaffer.com sent us 4 Plastic Quaffers, 2 Plastic Beer Quaffers, and a Pourer. We were only expecting 1 Quaffer, so thanks guys. The regular Quaffers are designed for 1 shot of liqour and a chaser. The chaser is poured into the bottom of the glass and the shot is poured into the top, so that once the shot goes down the chaser follows it directly. Seems like a pretty good concept to me. The Beer Quaffer is a lot larger than the normal one. It is designed with beer in mind, mainly for drinks like the Irish Carbomb. It holds the beer in the bottom and the shot on the top, same as the other one. But it holds a lot more liquid on the bottom of this one, its almost intimidating. Both of them look like fun and pretty self explainitory. There are a few simple directions required to pour the shot into the top, (Pour along the side of the glass) but overall its a simple design for a simple effect.

Review:

Is it Quaffer as in rhymes with offer, or is it Quaffer as in rhymes with waffer? This had our minds boggled most of the night so we just decided to call it a Queffer, as in rhymes with umm.. reefer. These are actually pretty cool, we were pleasantly surprised. At first it seems like its going to be a lot of liquid at one time, but if you think about it, a jager bomb has quite a bit of liquid in a cup, and this seemed like a little less. And thats exactly what we drank with them, jager bombs. I completely forgot to bring the pourer they sent me, with, but we were still able to pour them just fine without it. That was a big plus, because nobody wants to carry around a bottle pourer with them whenever they go out. So, as per the instructions, we poured the Red Bull straight down the middle into the bottom section, then poured the Jager along the side of the top. This kept the Jager on the top and the Red Bull on the bottom, it was perfect. And with 1 gulp, it was gone. It”s a little strange at first, and I”ll have to quote Iman on this one “At first its slimey, and then its like whoa, Red Bull” So I hope that gives you an idea of how it tastes. We did not test the Beer Quaffer yet, but we will, nobdy wanted to do an , so we”ll hafta find an unlucky candidate one night. We”d recommend the Quaffer as an essential to any bar. Its a novelty item, but it is a good way to take a shot if you need a chaser to follow up with.

Sure Shot Beer Bottle Bong Review

First Impressions:

We didn”t know what to expect when we were sent a sample of this product. The picture makes it out to be this nicely imprinted piece of PVC pipe. The video/text on the site gave me the impression that the product went over a beer bottle and almost clamped on to the top. Then had a button on the side for release of the beer so that you could turn the bottle over and then place it up to your mouth. Essentially what we got was $3 worth of PVC pipe with a sticker on it. I have to give them props for coming up with the idea, but its very very basic in design. Its basically a 6″ piece of PVC with couplings at the ends, one of them being a 90-degree bend, and then a small tube running through a hole at the very bottom, up out the top. The tube allows air to get into the bottom of the bottle when it is turned upside down. This allows the beer to drain faster through the tube and into your mouth. So based on first impressions of the actual product, we felt like morons for not coming up with this idea before. So we have to give these guys respect for coming up with the idea to sell these.
