Fizzics DraftPour

If you love beer like I do, here’s a way to make it even better!

The Fizzics DraftPour is a portable home beer dispenser that lets you pour beer from a bottle or can and get something close to a “draft-beer” or “tap-beer” experience. It’s designed to work with most standard sizes: 12 oz cans/bottles up through larger bottles (up to 750 mL) and even some growlers.

The DraftPour uses what the company calls “Micro-Foam Technology” to dramatically improve the flavor, taste, and mouth-feel of any carbonated beer. Instead of adding gases like nitrogen or CO₂, it uses sound waves + fluid dynamics to transform the beer’s existing carbonation into very fine, uniform micro-bubbles. The result is a foamy, creamy head and a “nitro-style” texture — akin to draft beers you might get at a bar.

It is powered either by USB or standard AA batteries, making it portable and usable away from a fixed kitchen — handy for parties, tailgates, outdoor gatherings, camping, etc. The Fizzics DraftPour is lightweight and durable.

A Note About Vintages

Although you will see vintage dates throughout Winervana, I don’t put too much importance on them. Major producers these days strive for a consistent style, and largely succeed. For instance, when shopping for a particular wine, if you have a choice between a current release and one that’s a few years old, there will certainly be differences in price and the character of the wine. But upon release, those two examples of the same wine are likely to be quite similar, especially for New World producers, who often enjoy more reliably consistent weather than Old World producers do. (Of course, global climate change may disrupt things for everybody.)

Wine Enthusiast has an interesting post about this here.
