The Mason Jar Cocktail Shaker

We’ve shown you how to turn a mason jar into a travel mug. Now, the ubiquitous glass container can help make a bit stiffer of a drink, with the Mason Shaker. Combining their love of “fine cocktails and classic Southern style,” the design duo of Josh and Eric came up with a prototype for a strainer, outer rim, and cap attachment.

So, what was once used as the go-to container for backwoods moonshine, can now help make your fancy drinks in the comfort of your home. Currently in its Kickstarter phase, The Mason Shaker has far surpassed its target goal. So, keep an eye out for it soon, and you’ll be drinking ironically in no time.

Drink Like a Hobo with a Bum Bag

Say what you want about hobos and other habitual outdoor drinkers — but they’re onto something with their brown paper bag drink coozies. First off, they’re hella-stylish. Secondly, the thin layer of brown paper appears to be the ultimate cloaking device. Bum Bag Drinks Coolers have figured this out, and want everyone to drink hobo-style.

Of course, while designed for outdoor drinkers with income, these paper bags are a bit more advanced. Made from water-resistant and tear-proof Tyvek, they’re also insulated for prolonged street drinking. Available for pre-order.

Churchkey Beer Will Help You Kick It Old School

Before the days of pop tops, and even pull tabs, there was actually some effort involved in opening a beer can. The tops of most cans were nothing more than a flat top of metal, requiring a sharp object to get to the goods. Most commonly used, was something called a “church key,” and a new brand of American Pilsner, aptly titled Churchkey Can Co., wants to make you work for your beer once again.

So, get your beer-opening tool-of-choice ready, and we can start looking forward to Churchkey replacing PBR as the hipster’s ironic beer of choice.
