Fake Beer For Your iPhone

High tech gadgets and beer are both great, so you’d think that bringing the two together would be a smashing success right? Not true.

Square One Cucumber Vodka

What do you get when you cross anal rape with liquor? Square One’s Cucumber Vodka is correct. Why isn’t Cucumber Vodka any good? Because if you use it in a martini, it will suck.
