Turfcats to Face Swashbucklers, Get a Bus

And not in that order either. The Swashbucklers did what was expected and pound the living daylights out of the Houma Conquerors earlier tonight to earn the right to face the mighty Austin Turfcats in the Southern Indoor Football League Championship game.

The bad news is the Turfcats have to travel to Louisiana to face the 11-1 Swashbucklers. The good news is the Turfcats will take you to the game on their bus. And there is a casino at the end of the line so you can win cash money at the tables, like any civilized society should be legally allowed in the twenty-first century.

Tickets to ride the bus are $85 and include great seats at the game, transportation back and forth, and an almost sure-fire hug from your favorite Lady Cat. Not to mention you’ll at least break even after an hour or two at the poker tables. The bus rolls out at 6:00 AM on Monday, July 27. Cheer the Turfcats on to their first SIFL championship.

“To book your seat contact Jack Dixon at (866) 969-TCAT (8228), or via e-mail at jack@turfcats.com no later than 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 23rd.”

Beer Guru on… Kegerator.com

Halfway through grilling season we start to get bored of the tools on hand and begin looking around for ways to accessorize. Since the grill has what it needs we shift our focus to what goes with the grill - beer. Kegerator.com has a whole gamut of unique and interesting tools for serving beer, not least of which is their namesake Kegerator, a miniature refridgerator with a tap so you can slip a keg in and have draft beer.

We asked Resident Beer Guru Patrick Wardrop to look through Kegerator’s offerings and pick out the three things he puts at the top of his wish list.

1. Beer Tube

I’ve never seen one of these before. What a great new way to serve beer. This tube is 100 ounces and keeps the beer inside cold while it sits on the table waiting to be tapped. It would compliment a poker game nicely as long as you position the flop just right. The Beer Tube would require less trips to the tap during a game, and that helps my ROI. At less than $100 if you catch it on sale it should pay for itself within a couple showdowns at the river.

2. Chalkboard Beer Tap Handle

As a homebrewer, I’m always changing up my kegs and, let’s just say that sometimes, after a few beers, my buddies will ask what beer they’ve been drinking has been and, lo and behold, I can’t remember my own name, let alone what’s in my mug. The chalkboard beer tap handle is a cool way to write and remember what’s coming out the tap right below. This would be nice, makes it easy to switch up a keg too.

3. Beer Volume and Temperature Monitor

At less than $10, it’s novel and cheap as well as one of those accessories one might actually need at some point. When friends are coming over and that keg has been in there for a few weeks it’s easy to forget just how much has been drained. This strip monitors what temperature the beer is inside as well as how much is left. Unless you have see-through kegs, you’ll need this. And usually you’ll need it at exactly the wrong moment.
