MGD 64 Launches


Drinking is a high calorie intake hobby. Drinks like the Long Island Iced Tea have 800 calories (a third of your daily needs) and even drinks that seem harmless, like a gin and tonic, have around 250 calories. If you want to drink a lot and look good, you have to give up a lot of other things in order to workout more, such as a job, friends, and feeding your children. It's a thankless task.

Miller wants to help the kids get fed. They've introduced MGD 64. Now I know what most of you're thinking, "Sweet! A Super Big Gulp full of beer!" but that's not what it is. Though I'm sure they kicked around the idea of a beer ThirstBuster, MGD 64 is a 64 calorie beer in the Miller Genuine Draft stable.

Now, most light beers have around 110 calories (as a matter of fact, 110 seems to be the magic number that most light beers try to achieve), so you're not saving yourself a ton of calories if you're having one beer. However, if it's a typical Saturday night with you, a case of beer, and a Real Doll, you're probably going to stave off that beer gut just a bit more by drinking this one.

You can look for it right now in the Midwest, Arizona, San Diego, and Sacramento where it will replace MGD Light. The rest of the US is to come.

I tried this new 64 and I think Miller really screwed this one up royally. It is the most tasteless beer I have ever tried. I loved MGD Light. Bring it back now!!!

Actually, I don't think it really lost all that much taste... one needs to remember it is a light beer!

Some thanks and virtual bartender

As of last week we averaged over 1,000 users per day. That's pretty damned cool. I'm surprised to see it myself considering how poor we rank on Technorati, but Performancing.com doesn't lie! In case you live under a rock, the Virtual Bartender are girls that do as you command, just like any good bartender does. They each have a huge list of commands and the most recent version has two girls. The shot pictured is them doing Star Wars. But they make out, shake ass, and many other things (no nudity, but plenty of cheesecake). They seem to do a lot of stuff except being able to make a martini. Brilliant.

Electric Martini Maker

Martini's are such a difficult concept that Waring thought they would make it easier on all of us. Okay, so I know that the reason for having this is for Coolness Value and not for the idea that you actually need a machine to mix your martini's. The Waring Pro Electric Martini Maker can take your concoction and do the tedious work of mixing it by either stirring or shaking, depending on which button you press. Remember kids, stir gin, shake vodka. The on light even has a green olive on it. But what if I want a twist?

Bluecoat Gin Review

The bottle of Bluecoat Gin arrived the other day and I ripped in to it with vigor. My newfound love for Gin has become boundless and when I get a new one I put it ahead of the line of all the other stuff that I still need to try and review. I was like a kid on Christmas Day, however I was heavily medicated and had to patiently bide my time until I was no longer popping pills in order to try it out lest my liver implode leaving a dark, black hole in my innards of Mickey Mantle proportions. How's it look? The bottle comes pretty much as advertised. It's a simple blue bottle with Bluecoat on it and a coat of arms. The cap is an easy-to-pull cork that did not make me do any sort of contortion in order to get it open. Thank you Bluecoat Gin! What's it smell like? One word: OhMyGod. This is far and away the best smelling gin I have ever put my nostrils to. The juniper and floral notes were amazing and did not take any time to get used to. Most gins require two whiffs: One...
