The Zane Train

Zane Lamprey is one of my heroes. Two seconds into the pitch video below, you'll know why.

I loved—and still love—Three Sheets, I rue that I haven't been able to watch Drinking Made Easy, and I've soaked in the Zane Lamprey Show podcasts. Hell, I've even read his book (Three Sheets "the book") and had Pleepleus riding copilot on my trip to Brewski Fest, where I proceeded to get Steve McKenna'd.

So, obviously, I'm proud to help out his Kickstarter project, especially if it could lead to Zane bringing all of the fun of boozing around the globe (responsibly) back to my life (...responsibly?). I only regret not helping to get the word out sooner. Pleepleus would expect better of me. So here we go. Chug or bust!





So whaddya say, On the Rocks fans? Think this might be something worth backing? Of COURSE it is. Let's help Zane get Chug started off strong by kicking in on the keg.

Only 21 days to go.

Apple Sauced

From the Sultan of Boozing, Zane Lamprey:

A wise man once said, "Beer before liquor, never sicker. Liquor before beer, never fear." I like to test out that theory from time to time around Halloween—it’s just quality control.

Come the 31st, I won’t be bobbing for apples. I’ll be turning them into shot glasses! What can I say? I’m a festive guy. Just twist the shot carver into a piece of fruit—like a pear or a baby pumpkin. Hell, you could even use a cucumber.

Out comes the core with enough room for a shot of your favorite booze.

Zane is also generous enough to provide a special shot recipe to fill your new Golden Delicious shot glasses:

Poison Apple Shot Recipe

Ingredients:

1 oz Frangelico
1 oz Vodka

Directions:

Pour ingredients over ice in a shaker. Shake and strain into a shot a shot glass....or apple's if you're using this nifty shot carver.

Not sure why I've never thought of doing something like this before. Hell, we've all seen weedheads turn apples into bongs. Why should boozehounds be left out of the fun? And, if you're the religious type, (which would be a bit of a shock to me, considering you're reading a blog devoted to debauchery), might I suggest using an apple shot to do a Snake Bite? Just a thought.

Yeah, I'm just a little jealous.
