You can never have too many buddies... but you can have too many for one page, so be sure to see page two of our links.
 KegWorks.com was created to provide draft beer dispensing equipment and compact refrigeration to home owners. KegWorks has grown to also include bar top accessories, beer clothing and numerous other related items. Be sure to visit our fellow NY buddies from "upstate." KegWorks.com.
 The shelves of the Tabascco Country Store hold every little Tabasco thing your heart desires. Golf shirts, t-shirts, chili, snacks, drinks and of course, HOT PEPPER SAUCE.
 Cooking.com offers a pretty big selection of decent products for the kitchen. We're partial to their wide assortment of cutlery, an outdoor living section and a new area of their site devoted to grilling.
 Firebreath.com is a virtual internet-only "retail store" selling hot sauce, salsa and chile pepper related products. Stop by for some inexpensive fun with chile peppers and other hot stuff. "The Dragon" at Firebreath was nice enough to send us a few of his fiery recipes and you can find them all here.
 BeerCook.com because beer is food: in cooking, at the table, and by the glass. Visit the website of Cooking With Beer author Lucy Saunders for recipes on cooking and grilling with beer...and don't miss the Brian's Belly profile!
 Fat!So? is the 'zine for people that don't apologize for their size.
 Modern Drunkard Magazine has drinking games, booze news and all kinds of wino wisdom. Available in print and online (but we only link to the online version).
 All About Beer Online is the web counterpart to All About Beer Magazine which has been informing readers about beer since 1978. Stop by to read selected articles from the publication and sign up for a free issue.
 Hilo Hattie has just about the best bunch of Hawaiian shirts we can find online... and at really great prices. Most of their shirts are about $29 and we're talking about a 100% cotton cover for your man-teats in sizes up to 5XL. Some call them beautiful, some call them ugly... we call them daily wear.
 Got Beer? Michael Jackson at RealBeer.com does. No not the freak with the glove/monkey/little boys... the dude with the beer club. Michael is one of these guys that is, in a word, a God. A man who has spent his entire life in the pursuit of the best beer in the world... tasting, sampling, and getting loaded on brew and making money while doing it, has earned our beer of approval.
 From your freezer to your table... there is no easier way to serve great meals in minutes. ALaZing will deliver a complete meal to your door or couch. ALaZing is an offshoot of Omaha Steaks, so you know that the meats used will be top notch.
 Yeah... we wish this guy was our buddy. Food Network favorite Alton Brown began his career as a cameraman and learned quickly that most of the food shows served up on television are boring, boring, boring. Good Eats, his own half-hour show, is as splashy as his sport shirts, blending common sense, cooking wisdom, with sprinkles of spicy irreverence.
You can never have too many buddies... but you can have too many for one page, so be sure to see page two of our links.

Beer Belly Brew Master Rob Lieblein
Probably the very first microbrew that most of the Belly members were ever privy to was a dark, delicious brew called Outhouse. But after some financial setbacks (gambling problems) and equipment trouble (ex-wife got the still) the taste and aroma of Rob's Outhouse still lingers on in our mouths and in our memories.
Lucky for us (and you) we were able to snatch Brew Master Rob to head up our Beer Belly. Don't hold the fact that he's a vegetarian against him... he can still drink you douchebags under the table.

Belly Buddy Mark Stevens
Mark likes chatting and writing about beer almost as much as he likes drinking it and brewing it. When something is boiling in his backyard brewery, the dark steam clouds almost certainly promise a storm of very big and very black beers.
Mark is certified as a beer judge by the BJCP and is also the co-author of three homebrewing books, published by Storey Publications of Pownal, Vermont, and available through bookstores everywhere and the links below. Mark has also written several articles about beer and breweries for various publications, and is a contributing editor to the "Encyclopedia of Beer" (Henry Holt Publishing, New York).

Belly Buddy John Carroll
John is a regular guy. He has a regular wife, a regular dog & a regular house in the suburbs. That's why John is an alcoholic. But this does not effect his ability to amaze us with some wonderful dishes... in fact he makes all of them with one thing in mind... what he's going to drink with it. We're lucky enough that he also passes his thirst quenching thoughts along to us in his recipes.
In spite of wanting to "get the hell out of the house sometimes before I put a bullet in my head," John is a kitchen cook, so you won't find any barbecues in his repertoire.

Belly Buddy Mike Best
Mike likes his hot sauce, and it shows in his chili recipe. Some of Mike's recipes require a bit of your time, but he paces you out with beer so you never really feel like you're wasting your time cooking when you could be drinking.
Speaking of potato salad, you've got to try Mike's... as near as we can tell from the recipes' intro, years of inbreeding in his family has served to enhance this generational hand me down.
And remember, potato salad is the only salad officially recognized by Brian's Belly.
