It just requires digging a deep hole into the ground. presented by A rende=
ring of the eCool in the ground. eCool At CES earlier this year, I checked =
out a solar-powered cooler . I never expected to one day discover its mirro=
r-universe twin: a dirt-powered cooler. The eCool beer cooler harnesses a v=
ery old concept. Cellars, dug into the earth, have been used to keep food c=
ool for centuries. That same idea drives the eCool, a compact, crank-operat=
ed cellar that keeps beer underground, but makes it easily accessible for c=
onsumption. The entire contraption is nearly 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall. It c=
an hold 24 cans and is designed to live in the ground all year long. The eC=
ool creators suggest using a garden drill to make room to install it, unles=
s you're a total shovel champion. The top pops up and a hand-crank moves th=
e cans up so you can grab a cold one or lower some fresh cans down into the=
ground. Related Stories Sonic Foamer blasts bubbles into your beer for fla=

should make for some pretty cool beers in a lot of climates. It would be in=
teresting to test the gadget in a hot desert climate to see what temperatur=
e you're able to get down to. It would definitely be better than letting yo=
ur craft brews just sit out in the sun. The eCool is up for sale for about =
$300 (roughly 178, AU$324). That would buy you a lot of electricity to chil=
l your beers in a regular refrigerator. However, the eCool could be handy f=
or people who are concerned about power outages (Oh no! Warm beer!) or for =
cabins with no electric service. Of course, you're not restricted to alcoho=
lic beverages it could work just as well for your soda or sparkling water c=
ans. If you do buy and install one of these, be sure to ask your party gues=

25, 2014 6:00 AM 0 shares Leinenkugel: A beer drinker's favorite tongu=
e-twister Brace yourselves beer drinkers: The summer of 2014 is shaping up =
for shandy-monium. Shandy, a mixture of lager beer and lemon soda, is a lon=
g-time staple in Europe, but until recently, it was largely unknown in the =
United States. Now a growing number of U.S. brewers are finding success exp=
erimenting with the style-a result of many beer drinkers continuing to seek=
out new flavors. Leading the shandy charge was Wisconsin-based Jacob Leine=
nkugel Brewing, which introduced its Summer Shandy in 2007. After many year=
s of steady growth, 2012 was a breakout year for the brand after it achieve=
d nationwide distribution and the support of national ad campaign from its =
parent company MillerCoors (NYSE: TAP - News ). Read More Leinenkugel seeks=
'halo effect' from shandy sales Summer Shandy now accounts for 50 percent =
of Leinenkugel's total business and the brewery is looking to keep the shan=
dy momentum going. "We're just now seeing shandies in the United States sta=
rting to blossom because probably half of all beer drinkers still don't kno=
w what a shandy is," said Jake Leinenkugel, president of Jacob Leinenkugel =
Brewing. "We're at a point where the shandy still has nothing but upside." =
But it's becoming a more crowded category. Traveler Beer, which is part of =
Burlington, Vermont-based Alchemy & Science, a unit of Boston Beer (NYSE: S=
AM - News ), is also betting big on shandy. Founded in 2012, as the House o=
f Shandy, the company's stated mission is to "combine the European Shandy t=
radition with American ingenuity." Alan Newman, its president and founder o=
f Magic Hat Brewing, acknowledges there is still plenty of work to be done =
in introducing the shandy to the American consumer. "We recently hired an o=
nline survey company to ask Americans 'What is a shandy?'," he said. "Eight=
y-nine percent missed it completely. I think, maybe 7 percent figured it wa=
s a beer. So the understanding of the category still has a way to go." Whil=
e still small, the category remains a bright spot at a time when overall be=
er sales are stagnant. Off-premise sales of the major shandy brands in mult=
i-outlet channels, which include supermarkets, drugstores, Target (NYSE: TG=
T - News ) and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT - News ), totaled $67 million in 2013, u=
p 227 percent versus the year before, according to Daniel Wandel, senior vi=
ce president, Beverage Alcohol Market Insights Group for IRI, a Chicago-bas=
ed market research firm. Source: The Traveler Beer Company Wandel likens th=
e current state of the shandy segment to another recent high-growth area. "=
When I look at shandies now, the thing that comes to top of mind is cider, =
10 years ago, when ciders weren't even a blip on the radar," he said. "Yet =
ciders continued year after year to have high double-digit growth increases=
, albeit off a small base, much like we're seeing with shandy, but over the=
last several years ciders have exploded." Read More Roll out the barrel! C=
raft beer growth jumps again It's that type of room to grow that has Leinen=
kugel's pursuing an aggressive growth strategy for the Summer Shandy brand.=
"We feel wherever there is a Sam Adams placement there should be a Leinenk=
ugel Summer Shandy placement. We're still below that line, but we're buildi=
ng and I would say we're at least one-and-half times better off on distribu=
tion than we were at this time last year," said Jake Leinenkugel. As the sh=
andy audience expands, so too does the competition, as brewers both large a=
nd small look to capture a piece of the pie. Larger players like Anheuser B=
usch (Euronext Brussels: ABI-BE), with its Shock Top Lemon Shandy, and Mike=
's Hard Lemonade have already entered the space. But smaller players like R=
hode Island-based Narragansett Beer, are also finding success. The brewery =
released its first shandy this year, made with New England favorite Del's L=
emonade, and President and CEO Mark Hellendrung told beer industry trade si=
te Brewbound.com that it can't keep the new shandy in stock, saying sales a=
re "out of control." Even brewers like Boston's Harpoon Brewing, which buil=
t its business on the back of the hoppier and bolder flavors of the popular=
IPA style, are offering shandys for the first time this year. Its UFO Big =
Squeeze shandy has a grapefruit flavor. Read More How this ale became craft=
's most popular brew Reflecting on the competition, Jake Leinenkugel said w=
here he once saw confusion, if not outright derision, from fellow brewers, =
he now sees imitation. "Some of the same brewers that were making fun of it=
seven years ago are now starting to get into it and I think it's a nice fo=
rm of flattery," he said. "It's opened up some eyes and people are admittin=
g it's a lot bigger than they'd ever thought it would be and it's bringing =
in new beer drinkers." While shandy may be bringing new drinkers into the b=
eer category, for most consumers, shandy has all the attributes of a classi=
c summer romance: exciting and refreshing in June, but over by September. B=
oth Leinenkugel and Newman admit they see shandy sales drop off substantial=
ly after the Labor Day holiday weekend. Newman said part of the seasonality=
problem stems from the way category leader, Leinenkugel, has trained peopl=
e to view the shandy as solely a summer drink. "There's no question that Le=
inenkugel is putting shandy on the map, and you know that's helping us as w=
ell," he said. "On the other hand, they've also done a great disservice by =
calling their beer Summer Shandy." Newman said he expects that if Leinenkug=
el did not have "Summer" as part of its flagship shandy's title, the issue =
of seasonality would be diminished. He points to the success of brands like=
Blue Moon Brewing's Belgian White and Magic Hat's Number #9 as example of =
beers once perceived largely as summer staples that have crossed over to be=
come successful year-round brands. "Over time you'll see (shandy) stick aro=
und longer and it will eventually go year round," said Newman. "But I'm not=
gonna lie. I think the idea of a straight-ahead Shandy outside the summer =
season at this point is gonna be difficult." Read More The BMW of beer: Bre=
wery crafts luxury approach Both companies are hoping a lineup of seasonal =
flavors can keep the shandy party going a little longer. Last year, Travele=
r introduced the first pumpkin shandy and it also offers a seasonal strawbe=
rry shandy. Leinenkugel plans to roll out an Autumn Sampler shandy variety =
pack this fall with three new flavors: Pumpkin Harvest, Cranberry Ginger an=
d Old Fashioned Shandy, inspired by the classic cocktail. Despite the high =
hopes for seasonal offerings, shandy, like the rest of the beer business, w=
ill always rely on summer as the key selling season. It's this reality that=
has Jake Leinenkugel happy to have "summer" in the title of his brewery's =
flagship shandy offering. "The one thing it's done is made us the 'rite of =
summer' beer for a lot of people," he said. "Our distributors have told us =
don't change the Summer Shandy name, because we own the summer space now." =

t By Mark Townsend May 24, 2014 10:45 PM Content preferences Done Philadelp=
hia sports fans are always a tough crowd to please, but one beer vendor at =
Citizens Bank Park on Saturday afternoon brought them to their feet collect=
ively with literally no effort at all. No, we don't mean to suggest he wasn=
't doing his job. He was actually doing it quite well, which is why he was =
making every effort to get out of the way when he heard a foul ball off the=
bat of Carlos Ruiz was coming toward his section. With his back turned to =
the field, he literally had no idea where the ball was or which direction h=
e should move to avoid being hit. Then, just as he turned around, the ball =
found him, or, more specifically, it found his beer bucket. A perfect landi=
ng that probably couldn't be repeated if he stood in that spot for another =
5,000 foul balls hit to that section. The vendor, whose name is Earl Chane=
y, later confirmed to the Phillies broadcast team that he never saw the bas=
eball and didn't intend to catch it in his bucket. It was just there. It's =
a first for him, though he says he was hit by a foul ball one time before. =
"I've already been hit once; I didn't want to get hit again," he said. We d=
on't blame him. Chaney says he's been employed at Citizens Bank Pank since =
it opened in 2004. That's a lot of baseball games and a lot of opportunitie=
s to be in the right place at the wrong time, but so far he's been quite lu=
cky. And now, he might even become a ballpark celebrity. The response from =
the crowd was awesome, and the TV time won't hurt either. People will remem=
ber Earl Chaney when they see him at the ballpark, and they'll also want to=
buy a beer from him. That's good for business! More MLB coverage from Yaho=

With the promise of bringing the country's best beer brands together, alon=
g with some European heavyweights, it was lining up to be what fans had bee=
n waiting for. The venue for the three-day festival was the newly renovated=
Barbican Beach Bar. The main area was buzzing and bustling with the music =
turned up and a good crowd of people perusing the various beer brand tents.=
Others played FIFA games and participated in mini football matches in the =
sand. With each patron given five vouchers to sample Red Stripe's new flavo=
urs, bartenders were kept busy for the entire festival. While some patrons =
enjoyed the new red apple and tropical pineapple flavours, others remained =
loyal to Heineken, Smirnoff Ice, Tallawah and Guinness. The newly introduce=
d one-litre Guinness and Red Stripe bottles were also a huge hit with patro=
ns. The DJ pumped out tunes for attendees to get their groove on, and patro=
ns milled around food tents, including one from Fish Pot, and another from =
CB Chicken. As it neared evening, more patrons began to file in, signalling=
the start of the night's entertainment package. Last Friday night had feat=
ured performances from Kabaka Pyramid and Mystical Revolution. Last Saturda=
y followed the same reggae theme, with artistes such as CK, Black As Cole, =
Keznamdi, Kelissa and No-Maddz. Up-and-coming artiste CK was up first, thri=
lling the audience with True Colours and I Found Me. She made way for the B=
lack As Cole band, which also enjoyed good feedback from the audience. Kezn=
amdi encouraged patrons to drink responsibly and once again called for the =
legalisation of marijuana. He delivered songs such as She Says and Bob Marl=
ey's Play I Some Music, before inviting sister Kelissa on stage for In The =
Gideon. UNIQUE NO-MADDZ The final performance of the night came from No-Mad=
dz. With their unique musical style and their unconventional style of dress=
, No-Maddz captivated the audience with witty and profound lyrics. Kamal Po=
well, brand public relations manager at Red Stripe, told The Gleaner the in=
augural Red Stripe Beer Festival was a success. "The Friday night went well=
. Hundreds came out to support the inaugural beer festival. Patrons were re=
ally excited about the samples and also the international beers that were h=
ere. There was a lot of entertainment from the different beer booths. Consu=
mers were engaged with the prizes and giveaways, and the interaction with t=
he crowd was awesome," he said. He added that this will become an annual ev=
ent. "Everybody is excited about the overall beer festival package, so it's=
something we are looking forward to for next year. The vision we have for =
beer festival is that it will become a new destination for beer lovers. Fro=
m a national perspective, we have been looking to rebuild Kingston as a tou=
rist destination and the Red Stripe Beer Festival will be one of those acti=
vities in Kingston that will definitely drive consumers from around the wor=
ld to experience the festival," said Powell. <br>
