So fresh you can smell the coffee. And the ink on the hand-stamped labels. Every batch of Firelit Spirits coffee liqueur uses a different fresh roast and local roaster—usually. Batch 05 , marks their third with Oakland 's Blue Bottle Coffee but this time they chosen a Peaberry Yirgacheffe bean. It's not the holy-grail, cat poo coffee bean, but it sounds deliciously close. Look for it on shelves immediately. Firelit on Facebook » [...]
As much as I hate to perpetuate lazy comparisons, on first listen of San Francisco 's Night Genes it's hard not to reference the singer from The National . But I'll one-up it with another reference: Steve Sallet from King of France / The Poison Tree . Regardless of familiar timbre, the trio's touches of electropop and bright melodies help them stand on their own and make 'em one to add to your shopping list. Enjoy thoroughly. Django Django "Default" [ follow ] from s/t [...]

Of all the Bueller references packed in this Todd Philips -directed spot, the SOCHOIC plate takes the cake. But does a Honda CR-V really merit a Yello " Oh Yeah… " reprise? Maybe if Cameron or, even better, Sloan was sitting inside with a cameo. And if it had this vanity plate . Oh well, there's still the barking Star Wars dogs VW spot . • • • • [...]

There's something in the air right now with beer cans and astro chimps… but is it a ripoff? I saw on BeerNews that Hunstville, AL's Straight To Ale just got approval on their Monkeynaut IPA can label. While the artwork is indeed rad, it sure reminds me of a can that's been, um, floating around for almost a year now… Bitter American from San Francisco's 21st Amendment has the same jettisoned space [...]

What happens when you combine smoking jackets with thinking caps? Drinking mittens, dude. Wave hello to the über-specific, Scandinavian-designed Sküüzy . When not filled with a beer, I would imagine, that hole is as useful as the double umlauts. But that's just one more excuse to fill it with another beer. Snag 'em for half off with a Groupon this week or order from their site . What's with beer geekery and unnecessary umlauts?

This one's all about execution. And I don't think Lucas could direct this furry troupe the way the folks at Deutsch did. Maybe that's why he's retiring from blockbusters . Apparently, this is only a teaser for some Game Day celebration tie-in that Volkswagen is sponsoring. There's even a site where you can get your name (and more?) in a customized Star Wars crawl. Woof. Check it here . • • • •

The third release from San Francisco 's Almanac Beer Co. , Orange Wit , will be out just in time for SF Beer Week .

Kinda like payin' the toll for the car behind you, only this doesn't cost you a dime (or six freakin' bucks like the Golden Gate). As this year's agency holiday card, G2 built this site that pipes in cranky, humbug-ian tweets so you can peruse and pick ones to respond to—with a random, cheery haiku. A "totally random way to cheer up someone totally random" indeed. Pretty simple. Pretty addictive, too. You don't even have to be a word nerd. Go give it a try . Maybe you can send one to the [...]
