This week, Monarch Beverage Co. released SUDSoku, a free iPhone app that merges the brainy Japanese puzzle game of Sudoku with our favorite beverage. Instead of filling in a nine-by-nine grid with digits, players drag beer bottle caps into squares. Sharpening your noggin with the help of beer: we always knew it was possible. Dowload the app from iTunes or learn more here.

Crossfit is known for its brutal, usual workouts that leave your muscles screaming at the end.

Now here’s another novel exercise to add to the Crossfit database, courtesy of the Milwaukee chapter: The one-armed beer push-up.

“It’s debatable if drinking a beer while in a one-handed handstand is as difficult as drinking while doing a pull-up,” said Crossfit trainer Ryan Atkins.

This is not the first time Crossfit has ventured into beer exercise territory. On Crossfit message boards You can find talk of the Pull-up Century Club Drinking Game, beer and burpees, and beer as recovery drink.

And of course, others find creative uses for kegs.

The Beer Belt

We all know that beer is scientifically better than water for running.

So why not replace your water hydration belts with one for beer?

Now you have the 6-Pack Drink Holster.

“You’ll never be out of reach of your next cold one!” the product promises. It retails $4.95 and comes in black, pink and camo colors.

Take one on your next long run, and you’ll be ready for beer the minute you’re finished - if not before.

You can also find a fancier “hops holster” from a really scary looking website.

Thanks to Frank and Mitch for the heads up.
