Happy New Year! As you may know, tonight there is a Blue Moon (2nd full moon in a month). These come around every 2.5 years or so, but they only happen on New Years every 19 years. To commemorate tonight’s Blue Moon, the Blue Moon brewery released a special Grand Cru. We were planning to do a Black and Blue pour for tonight, but this Blue Moon Grand Cru makes the occasion even more spectacular. Too bad it’s overcast here tonight so we aren’t going to get to see the real Blue Moon. (Oh, and as you can see we finally got the new cans in NJ!)

We found a great selection of Guinness items on rest of their Guinness merchandise for some nice products. This shop is in the UK so prices are in pounds and if you’d like your item for the holiday, you may want to order soon!

If you’ve been a good boy or girl this year, perhaps Santa will bring you this Guinness Kule Kube Refrigerator! Dan found this amazing item for $179.99 on www.guinnesswebstore.com

Based on the customer reviews, it holds about 40 cans of your favorite beverage! Seems perfect for any “man cave (or castle)”, bar, dorm, office (if you’ve got it like that) or home!

I’m not sure if you should wear these fashionable Guinness socks or hang them above the mantle in hopes that they get filled with more Guinness swag. Either way, you can purchase these bad boys for $9.99 at www.wearyourbeer.com

Happy Thanksgiving. We’re in Buffalo to celebrate with family. Since we’re here we figured the Buffalo Bills glass was apropos. As you know we got Guinness in the new cans, they’re pretty cool. We’ve been playing Pictionary Man so figured we’d throw him and a pumpkin pie in too.

We are in Buffalo for Thanksgiving. Of course we had to stock up on Guinness. We were super excited to see that they have the new pub cans. We have’t seen these in person yet.

Some old friends we haven’t seen in a while came by the other night. We had to do a pour. Don’t think we’ve done four at once yet so here you go. Love the sound at the beginning. Wonder if there is a Guinness World Record on the number of simultaneous pours. Maybe we’ll have to set something like that up.

Version 1.1 of the Guinness iPhone app has been released. They took out the 250 Anniversary stuff and added the Guinness Gallery. It has old posters with detailed descriptions and some old comercials. Pretty cool!

With Christmas just a few weeks away, we’ll be posting a new Guinness item every week for your holiday shopping list. (Let’s just hope our loved ones are paying attention)

This week’s selection is: Guinness Chocolate Polo Shirt from  kinnairdbagpipes.com – $40

I found myself behind a Guinness truck on my way home today. I don’t think I’ve seen one before. I wondered:
A. Where it was headed
B. If I could get it to make a stop at my house.

Sadly, it didn’t stop and I didn’t have the time to follow it.
