Alright, so today I'm pumped up! (pun intended).Seriously!
Literately and figuratively. I'm pumped up!
We got something called the Fizzics.
I'm not sure where this came from if it was like er (thinking too hard)...
...a Kickstarter or wha' i know its on Amazon Launch..Pad..now..though.
This thing takes normal beer that comes in a can or a bottle...
...and turns it into a draft beer, or draft like beer.
(imitates mind explosion)
(Yelling) Which is shocking to me. I... I mean n'...
Generally speaking with a draft beer you're gonna... you gonna get a little bit more...
...carbonation. Now they claim here, premium-ization; the physics behind great beer.
A fresh from the tap flavor and taste, they dig the science!
Runs on a battery and is compatible with all styles of carbonated beer
That's what they say you can achieve with the Fizzics beer.
Will i be able to tell the difference? We're going to find out, we'll do a blind test.
Maybe this thing is a scam, maybe it sucks?
Now if you're not a beer drinker i understand.
What happens if you put a coca-cola in here, Jack? What do you get, more carbonation?
Maybe that's a test for another day!
anyway
(cutty noises)
Oooh this is exciting! This is real exciting! The instruction manual. (discards it)
Little err, handle, that so you pull on the top, just like you would if you had a keg.
(wrapper noises)
Kinda looks like one of those Kurig machines. It kind looks like er... a coffee machine or something.
Now the reason it is this size is because it can do a can a bottle and those bigger things like the...
..large bottle you might get from a craft brewery called a, a growler?
Are they called a growler? (no Lew they are not. Don't urbandictionary that kids)
Is this a lock? (click) Yeah ok. flick up the locks on either side, lift it up...
...and that's it. You have an empty chamber in there
and then this little straw goes into you beer source, what ever that happens to be.
The other package here contains a base!? This is to keep the unit stable as well as give you a... platform...
...to put you beverage, thats a good look. This guy just kinda (large click)...
...there it is. That has a good look to it.
I mean you have this thing at a party, you're hosting a party, you have this on the counter. Alright, now...
...this little guy... that's it
You pull down. They said it's battery operated but where? There it is OK. So it takes...
...4 AA batteries. hopefully they have juice in 'em.
put you hose into your beverage. Close the lid, lock the clasps. Pull to tap!? and push to top. Woah!
Now i have no bar tending experience here so. But apparently you pull it down...
...when you're pouring to tap and then you
push it up to top for the fizz. I have (thud) a..
couple cans of beer here right in there
now truthfully I probably wouldn't use
with a tall can I think the growler
concept is kind of nicer because then
you can pour a few beers out of it and
it just slides in there
lock it down got our mighty mugg beer
cut remember
yeah go check that video if you're
wondering what magic that just was so
this goes over here pull the poor and
push the top 0 bartender experience at
play
okay here we go
coming in hot and then you get to the
top and you can
what happens if i push the other ways
just fall
oh really thick
did you see that it's like a very dense
foam it kinda looks like a guinness or
something
oh man the difference between the beers
own foam and the Fizzics foam
can you see that very interesting now my
poor probably could have been a little
bit better but I'm gonna give it a taste
test nonetheless
hmm did it taste like draft maybe yeah
when you push this thing in the opposite
direction
let's check it out right when I just
want to show you look at the thickness
of that foam that is draft style foam
the density is completely different than
what you get with the bubbles just
pouring a can into a into the last fight
to tell the difference and then I think
that sells the thing on its own
ok so Jack has set up these glasses in
front of me here
I don't know which one is which same can
appear one came through the physics
machine and one came straight out of the
can it's actually quite different
ok I'm ready to I'm ready to make my
take my guess I think the left hand was
the Fizzics one and the right hand was
out of the can
it was right you can tell the difference
it's like a creaminess you can sense the
carbonation in your mouth but it's like
you could tell the bubbles are smaller
and more full more balanced kind of
flavor
it just tastes a little bit more special
both people their preference would lean
towards a draft beer so the entire
concept here is to bring that experience
on to your countertop and I mean I think
they've done it now I don't have a third
beer that's actually straight out of a
draft I would I guess I will need to be
at a bar or something like that but
certainly this tastes closer to draft
beer as they've intended. -For AA
batteries this thing- it's not a
complicated device
I don't know what's going on how they're
creating that scenario inside here what
science is at play you can let me know
in the comments but put this on your
countertop host the party be the coolest
kid in town and I'd be surprised if you
took anything I said seriously over the
past couple of minutes because I got the
special look going on whatever let's get
festive much love
