The Beer Bit

I understand the concept, but it seems a little unnecessary. I don't really notice much change in my beers temperature, except with stouts and that's generally a positive.

 

• Part of the experience of drinking a beer is that it warms a bit and opens up. Enjoy everything about it.
• It's just 12 ounces... seriously?
• "Show me the money!" - this is just as gimmicky as those stones they sell to put in your whiskey.
• Who wants to be the A-hole carrying these around to put in his beer? It reminds me of James Garner's line to Jack Lemmon in "My Fellow Americans"... "Decaf?! You *****."

 

This may have more appeal to folks that sip (not slam) AAL's. Could see these sweeping wave like over suburbia BBQ's and Cul-de-Sac parties........

 

I'm sorry but this product is inane. That video did make me laugh a bit though.

"Hey, what'll be?"
"Well, that Belgian Ale sounds good. I'll have one please."
"Sure, be right back."
<frantically searches pockets for Belgian Ale Beer Bit>
"Uh, sir. I seem to have left my Belgian Ale Beer Bit at home. I do have my Stout Beer Bit with me, however. I'll go with the stout instead."
"Sure, no problem. Here is your stout." <places snifter in front of patron>
"Hmm, my Stout Beer Bit doesn't really fit in a glass like that. Any chance you can pour it into a regular pint glass? Thanks."

 

I couldn't even make it through the first 30 seconds of that video. It's pretentious enough without the borderline-fake accent. This is why people can't stand beer 'snobs'.

 

A solution to a problem which doesn't exist.
It is the sort of thing you receive as a gift,try it once or twice and start to see them at all the flea markets.

 

I really hope this doesn't get kickstarted. Not out of spite, mind you, but because if this comes out, you just KNOW there will be well-meaning, but uninformed family members getting us these for the holidays.

 

nope, not for me

also i could see after a few uses and scratches, you'll have a ton of nucleation sites that would create a foamy mess

 

Stephen Piscotty of the STL Cards is behind this?? That's odd.

 

Count me out

 

Just like the Chillsner I have taking up space in my freezer (didn't have the heart to throw it out)

 

If these stones ever show up at Goodwill for a couple of bucks, I'm in.

 

Just when you thought you would never see a more useless invention than the electric fork.

 

His brother invented it and he is providing marketing as a professional athlete. Makes sense.

 

Even more of a reason not to buy it, Go Cubs!!

 

Claims it can still hold a 12oz with head.
Pours beer carefully leaving no head.

 

You make a great point about the increase in temperatures of stouts as a positive and our Stout Beer Bit is actually engineered to increase the temperature of your beer. If you just pull a stout out of fridge, it takes over 30 minutes for it to reach 55 degrees in a glass. Interestingly enough, stouts are actually my favorite style of beer and I am confident my fellow stout drinkers will love the product as much as I do. Cheers! - Nick

 

We are sorry that the video came across as pretentious. Also, I can tell you that the accent is actually the authentic accent of my girlfriend and we are very confident that beer drinkers alike are going to love the product! Cheers! -Nick
