Most of us don’t live in some place like Hawaii or Mexico where shirts are optional and a cold beer outdoors is never a question, only an answer of, “hell yes.” Of course there are still times like when we want to enjoy and ice-cold beer in our backyards or even somewhere in the wilderness when it’s freezing outside. As long as if we’ve got our mittens, it’s no problem. WRONG! Beer bottles and mittens do not mix. You’ll end up feeling like a desperate bear trying to guzzle down a bottle of beer.

Beercade: The Last Barfighter:
(Source – hiconsumption.com)
What is a beercade you ask? It’s a beer dispensing arcade machine. This machine was created for an advertising campaign for Big Boss Brewing Company. We love to compete just for the hell of it, so when you bring beer into the picture you’ve got a major throw-down. The winner of the digital fight wins a 16 oz cup of beer. It’s too bad the beercade isn’t available for purchase, as it would be a terrific addition to any man cave. Watch the Big Boss Brewing advertisement with the glorious beercade here and dream about the day they sell these on Amazon. Beer is worth fighting for, and yes, its a necessity.
