If you’re looking for a place to stay in Ostbevern, Germany, dig beer, and enjoy being properly oaked — The Beer Barrel Bedroom is here to help. The bed is actually made from a genuine 19th-century beer barrel that was in use until 1995. And, because we’re in Germany, the bed is only part of an entire beer-themed suite. And there’s free Wi-Fi, whoohoo. Book your beer room here, and don’t forget the Beerdeaux.

Poor little Beer Monster… All you do is stare blankly and open our beers on command. The least we could do is give you a real name.
So, in celebration of reaching 3,000 fans on Facebook, we’ve asked our fans to help come up with a proper name for our bottle-opening new pet. Not only will the best suggestion win a Beer Monster of their very own, but we’ll use the new name in our product listing. Head over there and enter in the comment section. Go!
Note: Although anyone is welcome to participate, we can only ship this particular Beer Monster within the U.S. Thanks.
Screw you, Pantone… There’s a new color-matching system on the block. Assuming that you only need the warm amber and golden hues of beer, Beertone is here to help. The formula guide includes 202 beers, their vital info, and color.
Although Beertone is currently available only in Swiss beers, there are plans to include other countries’ brews. If the U.S. is ever included, expect hues such as ‘Coors Light Clear,’ and ‘Budweiser Beige’. The Beertone color-matching system is currently available for pre-order.

Assemble a few friends, and kick back some cold ones with help from the Captain America Shield Bottle Opener. The preferred weapon of the most patriotic of superheroes — you can show some American spirit every time you pry your beer open. Even though most American beers are twist-offs. U-S-A. U-S-A.

Heineken recently turned 140 years old. And, to help celebrate, they constructed a giant LED screen, with their iconic beer bottles acting as individual pixels. The seven day construction in Amsterdam saw the installation of about 5,000 Heineken bottles that displayed videos and images submitted to Facebook.
Fans were encouraged to visit Heineken’s fan page and submit pictures and celebration messages — with the best ones eventually displayed on the bottle wall.
