1. Beer is better cold, so you have two choices, get one of our custom Beerbelly “Pleasure Extender” Ice Packs which will extend your pleasure by up to 3 hours, and/or fill your Beerbelly beforehand and stick it in the freezer. If you can’t plan ahead, get the coldest beer possible and remind yourself to get an extra pleasure extender to keep ready in the freezer.

2. We understand that girls aren’t exactly fired up to sport a gut…even for a good beverage. So we suggest wearing your Beerbelly with overalls. We guarantee that if you don’t wear anything but your Beerbelly and overalls, guys will be falling over themselves to get some.

3. Personally we prefer to drink our beer from a cup, so instead of sucking from the hose, we route the hose down instead of up. When it’s time to fill up, down goes the zipper, out comes the hose, pop goes the cap, and into our cup goes the brew. How’s that for a conversation starter with the person next to you?
NOTE: To pop the cap, pull a bit harder than you would to open the valve. Give it a little wiggle and the top should pop right off. Also, make sure you hold the hose directly over the cup. Dry cleaning charges are not covered in the warranty!

4. When filling your bladder with a carbonated beverage, hold the bladder so that any air can be drained out the cap with a little squeeze (also, the colder the beverage the better). This keeps foaming and bloating to a minimum.

5. We’ve found the easiest way to load the bladder into the sling is to lay the sling down. Lay the bladder on the palm of your hand and slide both your hand and the bladder into the pocket. This orients it in the proper position.
