I recently bought a gimmicky 6-pack of Perdue brand Beer Can Chicken Beer. My buddies were flabbergasted to say the least. “Yeech” was the best I can post from the thread of supporters.

Are you still boiling the flavor clean out of your corned beef? Try using a pressure cooker to get the best out of this tough cut of beef.

How many times have you sliced into a tasteless, bone-dry turkey on Thanksgiving wishing your fowl had not run afoul in the oven? This year, try frying your bird instead. The skin will be crispy and the meat will be juicy. This is more than a recipe, this is our guide for Deep Fried Turkey.

A few years back, I was enamored by the Snake Bite, an ultra-sleek bottle opener that doubles as my keyring. But I never used the “portable” opener in my home bar. Enter the Mamba.

Need to chill sixtel or corny kegs for an upcoming party this summer? Sometimes you don’t want your kegged beer to tie you down to just one location. Build custom beer dispensation that no one else has!

Do you enjoy drinking a frosty one outdoors but hate that freezing fingertips feeling? The Drinking Jacket 2.0 is a feature-packed hoodie and the ultimate imbibing buddy! This high-quality hoodie will help you open, transport and consume the beverage of your choice.

We all know that Glenlivet and Glenfiddich can’t hold up to the peaty tang of Glengoolie Scotch Whisky. Certainly Sterling Archer knows. Now you can enjoy your favorite mid-range scotch from these Glengoolie rocks glasses.

The Perfect Drink scale and app is a modern bartender’s buddy. It will help you consistently create cocktails that are well-measured and well-received, whether at the kitchen counter or the home bar. In fact I can see an actual bartender using this to ooohs and aaahs in a fancy NYC bar. It’s a fusion of old timey, multiple ingredient drink recipes and modern sheen.

The popularity of our original recipe and guide for deep frying a turkey has prompted good comment discussion… there is a lot of great information. But that particular post became a knowledge-base of hard-to-find tips. So with that in mind, I re-read and culled the best information that may not be in our guide.

With the year of Back to the Future Part II coming to a close, it’s time to look ahead to the next big date in sci-fi, flying-car, future history. 2019 marks the year of Blade Runner and it’s time to get ready for it.

“Big Beer” is getting even bigger. Anheuser-Busch InBev is expanding–yet again. SABMiller accepted a takeover bid valued at over $100 billion from Anheuser-Busch InBev in a deal that would form a company that would control nearly a third of the global beer market. This is bad for you. Here’s why.

Every summer I head to a beautiful island off the coast of Maine named Chebeague. The water on the ferry trip to the island is dotted with lines of lobster trap buoys… a certain sign that once you land, the crustaceans will be waiting.

We’ll be blunt: there are hundreds of nice bottle openers on the market and dozens that we’d love to have in our pockets or using in our home bars. But the fork-toothed Original Snake Bite is anything but blunt.

Cubes are classic. Frozen squares, rounded corners… thirty two Fahrenheit degrees of icy pleasure. Some of us settle for frozen crescent moons from our automatic ice makers and others, well… others like their ice fancy.

Drew Harwell of the Washington Post contacted me yesterday for his story “America’s most iconic beer brands are being bought by foreign investors. So what?” (Now Drink American has two Post interviews under it’s belt). “American beer is in the midst of a global identity crisis,” writes Mr. Harwell. I tend to agree with him.
