Manly Distractions – A Gentleman Never Tells

12 Days of X-Mas – A Beer

On the first Day of Christmas Urbasm gave to you… a beer. But not just any beer. This is the Old Stock Cellar Reserve Beer 2011, which is equivalent to squeezing the mojo from a Jaguar E-Type Series 1, straining it between the breasts of Hope Dworaczyk, and letting it ferment in the holy grail […]

COTM: Jersey Lightning, Updated and Upgraded

If someone were to hand you a cocktail glass at a holiday party and tell you, “It’s Jersey Lightning”, would you react with skepticism? Understandably so. While it sounds like something Snooki would “accidentally” put in her son’s bottle, its apple and ginger notes makes for a delectable drink during the colder months. Guy friends will appreciate the class […]

Snake Venom is the World’s Strongest Beer

While this stuff should just have a skull and cross-bones on the label, we do like the name, Snake Venom. We’ll skip past all the brewmeister jargon about how it is brewed with special peat smoked, chocolate malt, and champagne yeast… and get right down to its alcohol content, which is 67.5 percent. Get it […]

A Message on Drinking Over the Holidays

As we get close to the holidays, there is always an increase in tragedies that could have been avoided. Urbasm would like to take a second to remind you that it is never a good idea to drink and drive.

Where Can You Find a Good Pumpkin Ale?

It’s that time of year again, and we’ve been ‘jonesing’ for a cold pumpkin ale, and you know what, there just aren’t that many of them out there. And the worst part is, if you do find one, you’ve got about a 20 percent chance of it tasting half of a decent. To keep you […]

Heineken X Krups Countertop Sub

It is amazing the length a man will go in order to pour a cold glass of beer. The Heineken X Krups Countertop Sub is a giant pressurized vessel fashioned out of aluminium, heat, and sweat. If you take one of these and load a live “Torp” into it, which is a metal cylinder filled […]

Jagermeister Shotmeister

We’ve been on the market for a machine that could serve ice-cold Jager whenever we wanted, and the Gods have finally blessed us with the Shotmeister ($199). What you are looking at is a state-of-the-art bartender that can serve up a shot of Jager at belo-zero temperatures, thanks to some serious spontaneous cooling technology that […]

Get Your Drink On

Man’s insatiable thirst has led him on a quest, perhaps since the dawn of time, in pursuit of that one substance that will fulfill all his expectations. You see, a well made drink is not about quenching just your thirst, but casting your mojo on a long journey. One that will begin with mystery and […]

Urbasm’s COTM – Man O’ War

It’s raining cannons and Desert Eagle 50-calibers outside the Urbasm basecamp today, and we need a COTM (Cocktail of the Moment). Something with a little tang to go with the toothpaste that is still fresh on our tongue, yet enough kick to knock us on our ass by noon–we’re talking about a Man O’ War. […]
