Marketed as beer for punks, Scotland-based BrewDog has been conjuring up innovative new hardcore beers since early 2007. And now, you can down their hardcore brews with company at their recently opened series of bars throughout Scotland (of course) launched as a ‘focal point for the craft beer proletariat’. Read more

Shopping for prescription drugs and cheap beer just got a little easier! Walgreens drugstores just launched their own canned brew, which is now available in about half of their 7,655 stores across the US. At just 50 cents a can and $2.99 for a 6-pack (that’s right!) it just got a whole lot cheaper to drink your sorrows away. That’s at least half as expensive as most bottled waters (is that even ethical?). In fact, we think it’s cheaper than not drinking at all. Read more

It’s one thing to sell beer in preserved animal carcasses, but how about selling beer to preserve animals? Well, that’s exactly what Australian Nail Brewing Company is doing with their new limited edition Antarctic Nail Ale. This brewery has teamed up with the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as they campaign to prevent the illegal hunting of whales in the Antarctic sanctuary. Read more

What do you get when two of Europe’s most rock ‘n roll brewers — Denmark’s Mikkeller and Scotland’s BrewDog — come together in a blended beer fantasy? The answer is a brilliant, hoppy-filled creation lovingly titled, I Hardcore You. A 9.5% Imperial India Pale Ale, I Hardcore You is a ‘hop bomb’. To make it, the already hoppy I Beat yoU from Mikkeller was fused together with BrewDog’s Hardcore IPA, then dry hopped twice and then again, and maybe once or twice more. Read more

Shmaltz Brewing Company has been brewing beers with some serious chutzpah since 1996. In a sassy series of brews they like to call He’Brew: The Chosen Beers, Shmatlz Brewing presents cheeky bottles with seriously fresh flavours, such as the Origin Pomegranate Ale, Messiah Bold, Genesis Ale and the famous seasonally-released Rejewvenator.

Peanut butter and jelly. Ben and Jerry. Beer and music. In the case of some partnerships, the whole is certainly greater than the sum of its parts. And thanks to the Philadelphia-based makers of Tuned Pale Ale, partaking in the time-honored combination of tunes and booze is about to get easier. Read more

For top quality it’s always best to go to the source, and that’s why the Mountain Goat Brewery in Melbourne’s Richmond is a gem. The bar is actually in the brewery, the selection is extensive, and there’s something enriching about downing the product surrounded by the means of production. The bar staff are some of the friendliest around and also make delicious pizzas. If you see the beer on tap try it out, but make it to the bar if and when you can. The only drawback is that this place is only open from 5pm each Friday.
MakerBot just unveiled their new 3D printer model with a bigger print surface and the ability to print two colors at the same time. At $2,000 it’s not quite in everyones price range but if you’ve got the cabbage, how awesome would it be to have this new toy on your desktop?
Everything about Kasia Domanska’s sun-drenched, surf-soaked paintings screams endless Summer. You can almost smell the sunscreen and chlorinated water wafting off of them.
How old must Kermit be now? Not to old to collaborate with skater-friendly retailer Supreme and photographer Terry Richardson. Kermit, who usually wears nothing, has been hooked up with some new threads to advertise the brand. It seems Kermit and Terry are the perfect work partners: they’ve even released a video clip documenting the shoot.
I spent time recently in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, enjoying fine Southern cuisine, gracious hospitality [’y'all come back now!’] and the warmth of a sun beating down like a semi-gnarled blanket. It was interesting to see the cultural values of the city; the social graces of its people which permeate every conversation. Read more
Pomocracy is a lifestyle statement Tumblr recently created in Berlin by PoMo, a nurse and designer. It’s an inspirational blog full of weird stuff.
Arriving two years after their debut, Settle Down City, Old Wounds completes Young Widows’ transformation into a top-shelf rock band firing on all cylinders. Forging the best parts of Nirvana, The Jesus Lizard, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Fugazi and The Melvins, Old Wounds is a series of dynamic, thoughtful tunes anchored by cavernous grooves that will certainly push most speakers to their breaking point.
