The all-star edition

Today's SF Chronicle Wine section is doing a baseball theme for the all-star game. I contributed a quick item on flasks.
Sipping suds at the ballpark

Deceptive device? Sensible packing? You decide. Like a CamelBak worn backward, the Beerbelly (see photo) is a convenient and (optionally) incognito pouch that mimics the bloated paunch on the outside that you'll develop for real after drinking its contents. It might be equally useful for holding cold beer on hot days watching a baseball game as it is for carrying hot chocolate on chilly nights in the kayak outside the park waiting for home runs. $34.95 at thebeerbelly.com.

If you prefer to pad another area, but don't want to haul a seat cushion and three unwieldy cans of beer to the game, you can put the beer in the cushion and carry it all with one handle. The Sippin' Seat comes in five colors, and when you're not drinking out of it you can fill it with air for extra padding. $24.99 at www.cellphoneflasks.com/sippinseat.html.
