There’s a lot going into orbit lately. Space craft with multiple billionaires , Captain Kirk , and million dollar bottles of wine have all taken a spin around the Earth. But what does this mean for you, a beer drinker? Until today, not much. That’s changing because Samuel Adams is making a beer brewed with hops that’ve been to space. It’s a gimmick, sure, but it’s a gimmick that got our attention. Who doesn’t want to drink space beer? Last month, Inspiration4 was the first all-civilian spaceflight mission. Aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule, four people spent three days orbiting Earth. Along for the ride with the crew—a billionaire, a community college professor, a physician’s assistant, and a data engineer—were 66 pounds of Mosaic and Citra hops. Brewing space beer Back on Earth, Samuel Adams took those hops and brewed a special-release West Coast-style IPA with a firm bitterness and notes of grapefruit, guava, and passionfruit. You can also expect piney, resiny hop aromas. For the n...

For duds that endure the wear and tear of wilderness excursions, Filson is a mainstay. For workout apparel that withstands grueling lifting sessions, Ten Thousand is a stalwart. Separately they shine, but together they can single-handedly replace your training kit with high-performance workout apparel.

And this collection encompasses that perfectly.” The Best Heavy Pack Workout to Build the Strength and Endurance for Backcountry ... Read article Courtesy Image The Filson x Ten Th...

Ketchup and mustard, mayo and sriracha , you’re safe. This isn’t an eviction notice to the classics—just a request to make some room in the fridge and cabinet as chefs, farmers, and food artisans expand America’s roster of essential condiments at a delirious, delicious pace. Here are seven of the most action-packed condiments to teach an old dog (burger, drumstick, taco, pizza slice, etc.) new tricks. Poi Dog Guava Katsu Courtesy of Poi Dog 1. Poi Dog Guava Katsu At her Hawaii-inspired restaurant, Poi Dog, Kiki Aranita would serve nori-speckled fried chicken with this thick, burgundy sauce, which draws its tangy sweetness from guava. Poi Dog, a pandemic victim, is now a bottled sauce line, and the katsu is Aranita’s latest product. It’s fantastic with fried chicken, for sure, but also dabbed on burgers and dolloped on fried rice. Other standouts include Chili Peppah Water and Maui Lavender Ponzu (shop the set for $35; poidogphilly.com ). [$15; poidogphilly.com ] Get it Laka...

Kentucky -based Michter’s Whiskey is stunning this year with a late-season arrival of one of its most coveted rare releases: Michter’s 20 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Michter’s 20 Bourbon, as most call it, is one of the many Michter’s products released only when the tasting team approves it. When it doesn’t meet standards, they don’t bottle anything. This year, it seems to have met those standards. The bottles (of which there are just a few hundred) will arrive on shelves in November. And by shelves, of course, we mean hands—as few if any of these bottles will spend any time on sale before they’re gobbled up by collectors and consumers. There’s high demand for Michter’s 20, and not just because it doesn’t release every year. It’s been two years since the last Michter’s 20 released. We don’t want to tell you how much the 2019 bottles are going for now.   Michter’s Dropped Two Limited Edition Whiskeys for 2020 and They’re Both Perfect Read article “This whisk...

The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao is Macallan’s latest limited-edition release. It’s gimmick and camp to the best possible end—and (thankfully) not a chocolate-flavored Macallan liqueur (we’re not saying we wouldn’t try it). Instead, this Macallan edition is named for its packaging. Now, packaging is normally the least interesting part of any spirit. But this particular bottle is different. Macallan Harmony Rich Cacao is presented in a fully recyclable and biodegradable box made from “cacao pod remnants,” which are leftovers normally discarded as a byproduct from the chocolate-making process. Best Wine Cask-Finished Whiskeys Perfect for Food Pairings Read article In reference to the cacao box, the whisky itself has been blended with an eye (nose and tongue) toward chocolatey flavors. To do this, the masterminds at Macallan had to taste through their stocks for sherry cask whiskies that had notes of chocolate, from which they eventually assembled the components to mak...
