The good folk at American Feast offer fabulous American foods from sustainable sourses, but that's not all--one of the big-wigs there is a very old friend of ours.  Known Jeff since Drake's Drum days, we have.  Go but some food from them, wudja?

Our old friend, Peter LaFrance, provides, well, Beer Basics on this site, and don’t forget to subscribe to his newsletter (of special interest to brewers, members of the brewing community, chefs, restaurateurs, and members of the media that cover the beverage alcohol business), HOT TRUB, while you’re there.

Charles K. Cowdery

Author of the wonderful book "Bourbon, Straight," a man without a logo on his web site, and a whining bastard who wouldn't let us rest until we linked to him.

THE site to go to for cocktail recipes and info on ingredients, etc.  Ably run by that scalawag Ted "Dr. Cocktail" Haigh, one of the true gurus of the cocktail world, and Martin Doudoroff, the cocktail and computer geek of Manhattan

Like they say . . . Just about everything about alcohol

Lots of solid information here.

The man with the laugh . . .  Lew is another good friend who bills himself as, “the award-winning, beer-drinking, whiskey-sipping, brewery-visiting, cask-tapping, thirst-creating drinks writer!”

Our local joint in Cornwall-on-Hudson.  It's one of the reasons we moved here.  Honest.
