Best at-home 19th hole gift

Fizzics Waytap

There's nothing like a nice, cold, draft beer after a day on the links. Maybe instead of heading into the clubhouse, you went to get comfortable at home on the couch or in your favorite chair.

If that's the case, Fizzics can bring the 19th hole to you.

The company's Waytap can turn any can or bottled beer (12-25 oz) into a draft beer thanks to its Fizzics Micro-Foam Technology.

You simply place the can or bottle into the Waytap and then -- just like at the bar -- you pull down on the tap. Once your glass is 2/3 of the way full, you pull back on the tap and begin the "sonication process," applying sound waves to control the process of converting the beer's natural carbonation into an ideal Micro-Foam, comprised of uniformed sized bubbles with the perfect density that delivers enhanced aroma, flavor and mouth-feel.

The Waytap enhances the flavor and aroma of all beer styles, including IPAs, Pilsners, Stouts, Porters, Lagers, etc.

The Waytap can be purchased for $129.99 at store.fizzics.com.
