Frequently loosing your beer at BBQ’s? This may be one electronic solution to the problem. The “Incredible Remote Controlled Beer Pager” locates your lost or stolen beer instantly.

Who says sporks are just for grade school? OK, no one said that, but I was thinking it… a thin, flimsy, plastic spork that I ate oh-so-many horrible USDA Grade-F meat meals with at the cafeteria table.

If you’re a foodie, chef, or just plain daring, I bet you’ve been intrigued by the prospect of deep frying your turkey on Thanksgiving. The real problem is your family; probably your mom or a healthy loved one. “I don’t want my turkey fried for Thanksgiving” is an inevitable response you’ll hear when you tell the family that you’d like to deep fry this year.

Every time I think I want to turn our Deep Fried Turkey Guide in to a fantastically informative and funny video, I think of our buddy Alton Brown’s fry guide.

The best in turkey fryers and all the accessories you need to prepare your bird… all in one place.

According to the UK’s Metro, drinkers downed a record 6.5million litres of lager at this year’s Munich Oktoberfest–but it came at price.

Michelob Ultra announced recently that they signed cycling dude Lance Armstrong to a three-year agreement to become the brand’s new spokes-person (get it!?).

Guinness recently introduced a pint-sized iPhone app called the Guinness® Pub Finder. The main feature is nice… little Guinness pints locate bars around you on a Google map that serve Guinness. But some faults make the $2 app a waste of good beer money.

As I sit here, leaves are beginning to fall from the trees… some of them right into my beer mug. Although the crisp days of autumn are not quite upon us yet here in New York, I recognize that the Octoberfest is the perfect beer for today’s climate. This seasonal German style lager is hitting the spot.

You’ve heard the hype about low calorie counts, but how do these new beers taste? What happens when you drastically reduce calories? The Chicago Tribune did what we here at Brian’s Belly wanted to do… assembled a panel of taste testers.

Simon at his Norfolk Single Dad Blog has been entrenched in his “Corned Beef Hash Challenge,” whereby he found a dozen or so corned beef hash recipes on the web and is pitting them up against each other. Our own recipe is hashing it out with the internet’s best creations.

According to the Wall Street Journal (and other sources) dozens of colleges are up in arms over a new Anheuser-Busch marketing campaign that features Bud Light beer cans emblazoned with local schools’ team colors. Stupid promotion, or stupid reaction to the promotion?
