It's Beer O'Clock: Your Weekly Booze Roundup

Bourbon Barrel Furniture
I'm not sure what happens to bourbon barrels once they are no longer able to hold that sweet, sweet liquid, but some designer in Red Hook, Brooklyn is making furniture out of them. The Kupe Collection dismantles the barrels and then re-mantles them into tables and chairs. It's very similar to the way a bottle of bourbon dismantles your night at the bar and then re-mantles it into a night in jail.

Albert Mann Pinot Blanc 2005
Wine tip: Alsatian wines are traditionally known as dry wines, which sets them apart from their German counterparts who use the same grapes, but produce sweeter wines.

Say this to sound smart: This Albert Mann is loaded with ripe citrus and pear flavors. It's got a nice acidity and finishes very well.

Say this to sound stupid: I just started...and finished in my pants.

Price: $15.99

Mamma Mia Pizza Beer
Home brewing has exploded in recent years and people are making beer with anything from peanuts to pretzels. And now...there's pizza beer. According to the inventor:

"We had some tomatoes, and I thought about using those. And I had a neighbor who was always talking about doing a garlic beer, so we added that. I had some fresh oregano, some basil, an old packet of [yeast]," Seefurth said. "I said, 'It probably won't work - if it doesn't, we can just cook with it.' "

"The first time we tasted it, we looked at each other and said, 'You know, it's actually good.' "
