			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I swear, this gig just keeps getting better and better.  People send me new booze to try out, new products to test and review, and it&#8217;s all stuff I&#8217;d pretty much use (or at least lust after) in my personal life.  Which brings us to this item, <a href="http://thedecapper.com" target="_blank"><strong>The DeCapper</strong></a>.  As the name hints, it&#8217;s a device for de-capping bottled beer.  It&#8217;s basically a cylinder you push down on top of a bottle, and when it pops up, the cap has been removed.  It&#8217;s incredibly simple.  Here&#8217;s a video of it in action.</p>
<p><script src="http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.js?mediaId:1244373;affiliateId:215767;backColor:#000000;frontColor:#ffffff;gradColor:#000000;width:480;height:392;shareUrl:revver;" type="text/javascript"></script></p>
<p>I know it looks like I struggled a bit on the second one, but that&#8217;s because I was holding the camera with one hand and the DeCapper with the other.  Even though it takes just a second, it&#8217;s best using two hands.  I&#8217;m not a wimp.  I&#8217;m totally <strong>strong</strong>!  <strong><em>SHUT UP!!1!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Analysis:</strong> This is the perfect party companion if you&#8217;re the one tending bar.  If you ever drink bottled beer in your home, there&#8217;s no reason you shouldn&#8217;t own one of these.  It&#8217;s incredibly easy to use, works as advertised, and really&#8230;a no-brainer.  The only downside I can see is that it&#8217;s not very portable.  As most dedicated boozers do, I carry a <a title="so frigging stealth, yo" href="http://www.suck.uk.com/product.php?rangeID=15" target="_blank">bottle-opener on my keychain</a>, and there&#8217;s no way this thing is pocketable.  It&#8217;s a beast.  But that makes it perfect for keeping by your bar, or throwing into a cooler for a trip to the lake or tailgating or whatever.  If they haven&#8217;t already, DeCapper needs to take a serious stab at marketing this to bartenders and restaurants. The speed and ease with which bottles could be opened needs to be exploited.</p>
<p>There ARE a wide variety of designs to choose from.  I chose mine to be the classy stainless-steel variety, but they also have ones for pretty much every NCAA team (some in football shape), not to mention Outdoorsmen varieties, which range from <a href="http://www.thedecapper.com/servlet/the-21/moose-hunting-bottle-opener%2C/Detail" target="_blank">moose</a> to <a href="http://www.thedecapper.com/servlet/the-14/hunting-gifts%2C-bottle-opener%2C/Detail" target="_blank">buckshot shell</a> to <a href="http://www.thedecapper.com/servlet/the-50/Wolf-deCapper-bottle-opener%2C/Detail" target="_blank">wolf</a>.  The only people not included are the snail-hunters. WE WILL SOON HAVE OUR DAY!</p>
<p><strong>Verdict: </strong>Highly Recommended</p>
<p>Seriously, the only downsides are bulk and not having run monthlong tests to ensure quality.  Otherwise, this is a heckuva product.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my personal life, I&#8217;m something of a gadget guy.  In my RSS feed, just below my &#8220;BOOZE&#8221; category sits &#8220;TECH&#8221;, filled with gadget and tech blogs near and far.  So it seemed natural to me when the <a href="http://www.drinkplanner.com/2008/06/09/behold-bierstick-briskly-blasts-beer-to-the-brim/" target="_self">Bierstick</a> arrived on my doorstep this evening to follow traditional gadget-blog protocol with a ceremonial <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=unboxing" target="_blank">unboxing</a>.</p>
<p>To the uninitiated, the unboxing video provides a few things.  First, it gives a hands-on look at a product that&#8217;s usually not widely available, so you get to see what it looks like and how it works without having to buy one yourself.  It also gives a look at the packaging, any assembly required, and in this case, a world premiere exclusive look not available anywhere else.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bierstick.com"><img class="size-medium wp-image-163" title="bierstick" src="http://www.drinkplanner.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/bierstick-300x80.gif" alt="" width="300" height="80" /></a></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve seen it anywhere before in the booze-blog world, so you may be witnessing a <strong>WORLDWIDE FIRST EVAR EXPERIENCE</strong>.</p>
<p>So without further ado&#8230;The Bierstick</p>
<p>

</div>
<p>We&#8217;ll be sure to have more coverage and reportage once we have a chance to put it to use.  And yes, I <em>am</em> a child who can&#8217;t help but make lubrication and in-and-out jokes.  Apologies.</p>
