It's Beer O'Clock! BeerGyver's 5 Things To Do With A Beer Box
BeerGyver (Kerry Finsand of Taplister.com) is at it again! This time, he’s got 5 different DIY projects that use a box that formerly carried beer. Or several. Take a look, but remember, kids: some of these you should not try at home!
1. Beer Audio Speaker: Learn how to convert a Corona box into
a speaker.
Here is what you need.
1. Glue gun with glue sticks
2. Exacto knife
3. Two speakers 1 small woofer about 3/12" (The woofers optional
4. A box (I suggest beer box) Extra cardboard.
5. A lablor (Instructions on last page)
6. Screws
7. Saudering Iron
8. PATIENCE!
As the site says this is not a simple DIY project, but are sure some
listeners wouldn’t mind taking a shot at it. In fact I challenge a listener to
make this and then do a video of them listening to your show with their
creation. (Send a video of your beer speaker actually working to real(dot)beergoddess(at)gmail(dot)com and BeerGyver and I will pick the one we think is best and take you out for a beer!)
2. Transformers Optimus Prime Halloween Costume. Nuff said!
3. Turn a suitcase of beer into a useful computer! . Peter Jebe wanted to build his own computer, but never could find a computer case that was affordable and personalized. After having a few beers he decided that he would create a computer with a Miller Genuine Draft Box as the case. He then enlisted his father and friend Noah and three Sundays later they created a very unique computer.
They did not just put a computer in a box, but rather designed the computer to fix in the box. The power button is a MGD cap, you can see the power light through the box and on the box side of the computer there is access to all of the ports. It even has a cd-rom drive that comes out the front.
4. How about a Beer Pavilion?
This lovely structure was created by students from the University of Applied Sciences in Detmold, Germany for their computer modeling class. They used 2,000 plastic beer crates to build this structure that was used during the summer for on campus concerts. They filled the base blocks with concrete and used screws, slats and bracing for the upper part. The entire project took one week to finish. The crates were originally donated by a local brewery and when the temporary structure was taken down they were recycled.
5. And who doesn’t need a beer box cowboy hat?
You can watch the hat-making action on YouTube or follow step-by-step instructions right here. Or if you’re lazy, just buy one!

This week, we heard from Portland’s Morton’s — the steakhouse. They are holding a fantastic-sounding beer and appetizer pairing event on Leap Day! What better way to enjoy the extra day (a whole 24 hours!) than taking in some wonderful eats and beery treats. You can get details and make a reservation 
In honor of President’s Day weekend, I present you a real homebrew recipe from the Father of Our Country: George Washington. Not only could he not tell a lie, but he apparently was a pretty mean brewer in his day.
Great news! Our virtual pub we call Beer O’Clock will soon be heard in Spokane, Wash.!
