About: I joined the gang at Gear Patrol because I believe that as men we often settle for less than the very best lifestyle we can attain. It’s been ingrained into our psyches to forgo certain products, services or lifestyles because they don’t fall within some antiquated male paradigm. Bunk.
It’s time as men to stand up and redefine what’s rightfully ours. Much of what I have learned to this end has come through advice from guys who had the experiences and knowledge I was seeking. My only regret was not learning it sooner. Now I feel it’s my obligation to pass along what I know. I’m not saying I have all the answers but I’m happy to share what I’ve learned so far.
On a more personal level, I live an active lifestyle and focus on my health and wellness as a means to sustain the frenetic pace. I also suffer from a case of golf-itis and spend a lot of my free time perusing that passion… ok, obsession. I aim to incorporate relevant fitness and golf content into Gear Patrol’s expanding coverage of all things male. Like the rest of the crew I can’t stand over-hyped, under-performing products. None of that crap will be perpetuated here.See Authors Posts (93) on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 | Email To A Friend

When faced with the choice, most men will opt for a draft-poured beer over something bottled or canned. At least, I hope they do. Don’t get me wrong, individually packaged beers are good, but they lack the freshness and fullness that a draft can offer. So you can imagine the utter lack of productivity that hit the Gear Patrol Labs when our friends at Newcastle sent along their newly launched DraughtKeg. It was a Tuesday, so no big deal.
Piggybacking on the same technology originally created for Heineken, the Newcastle DraughtKeg offers a draft system that utilizes a patented internal CO2 system with a mini tap. Hurray beer! This feature helps keep the beer fresh for up to 30 days after tapping and delivers the same taste experience as a pint of Newcastle poured in a pub.
With 10 pints at the ready, the DraughtKeg is perfect for the house, backward BBQ, or office (I love working here). It works with the Krups BeerTender to give it that more, um, polished look.
Cost: $23 at select grocery and liquor stores where Newcastle is sold
