Plenty of holidays throughout the year are associated with specific kinds of booze. St. Patrick’s Day is synonymous with Irish stouts, Cinco de Mayo is all about tequila, and New Year’s Eve just doesn’t seem festive without Champagne —or at least some kind of sparkling wine. What else are you going to ring in the new year with, right? Well, if we had our druthers, we’d drink bubbly beers instead. While nobody will tell you to put down your barrel-aged imperial stout during Auld Lang Syne, there are definitely more Champagne-adjacent beer choices available that tick all the New Year’s Eve boxes: Saisons, brut IPAs, sour beers, and many other styles are well-suited as a replacement for sparkling wine. Here are 15 crisp, effervescent brews to drink this New Year’s Eve instead of the usual bubbly. Courtesy image 1. Lindemans Old Gueuze Cuvée René Lindermans calls this wild-fermented wheat beer made with aged hops the “queen of gueuzes” and “one of the jewels of our brewery.” Golden...

In most electric cars , the silence is something to be enjoyed. But in the BMW i4 M50, some kind of glitch in my subconscious wouldn’t let me blast off the line without saying, “ Vroom! ”—out loud—every time. So accustomed to the fury of shrieking German turbochargers, I couldn’t let the explosion of power go unheralded. The whispers of electric fueled vehicles are going to take some getting used to for horsepower-hungry car geeks—especially ones who love to note the difference between the BMW M3’s V-6 and its M5 ’s V-8 half a mile away. But instant torque is magically addictive, and the good news for those in need of aural satisfaction—you can still make the tires squeal. Courtesy Image Ride the Lightning A pair of electric motors yields 536 horsepower and 586 pound-feet of torque. BMW conservatively claims the i4 M50 will go from a dead stop to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. It’s of course slightly faster, and when you do slam the accelerator to the floor you feel like Maverick being ...

Hybrid jackets are one of the newest—and smartest— outerwear trends we’ve seen as of late. Combining a variety of fabrics or insulation, hybrid jackets are the perfect body-temperature regulator—allowing you to fine tune the amount of warmth and breathability required for specific activities, be it ski touring, skinning , cycling, or just wandering around town. Think of a hybrid like a vest over a light jacket, but all in one garment. Most have insulation on the chest, back, and torso with stretchy, water-resistant fabric along the arms for breathability. No surprise, hybrid jackets have caught on fast and now come in a wide range of styles and designs. Here are seven of our favorites to handle body-temperature fluctuations during your favorite winter activities. Courtesy Image 1.

Why is the New Year’s resolution, a tradition that once embodied hope, now synonymous with failure? Much of it has to do with the fact that 80 percent of people abandon their pledge by February. So, instead of asking why, we should ask: What can we do to increase our chance of success, especially as we prepare to make New Year’s Resolutions for 2023? As Everyday Warriors, you’re already heading in the right direction; you understand that success requires building healthy habits and developing positive mindsets. While important, two more parts of the equation are even more crucial: goal management and preparation. Goal Management Feeling overwhelmed is the most common reason New Year’s resolutions fail. That’s understandable since it can be challenging to focus on results when success seems so far off. Well, it doesn’t have to be this way. The following two steps can make even the most ambitious goals manageable. 1. Set a specific goal and define success Decide what you want to ac...

In the not-so-distant past, wearing a computer on your wrist felt futuristic. Now, a fifth of U.S. adults regularly wear a smartwatch or fitness tracker , per the Pew Research Center. What feels more like science fiction now is beaming your body’s biometrics—like blood sugar levels, heart rate and sweat makeup—to your phone via stick-on biosensors. Diabetics have been using sensors for decades to track glucose levels. A continuous glucose monitor uses a tiny filament (the width of two or three human hairs) to penetrate just below your skin’s surface, explains Marc Taub, Ph.D., a divisional vice president of technical operations for Abbott Laboratories. “An enzyme on that sensor generates a current that’s proportional to the amount of glucose in the interstitial fluid surrounding your cells,” he says. Then, that data is translated into a value consumers can understand. Earlier this year, Abbott announced Lingo, a line of consumer biowearables—which are still under development—that us...

Through five Winter Olympics , Shaun White made a career of always having tricks up his sleeve. Here are the winning strategies that continue to propel him even off the slopes. Let Setbacks Set You Forward When I first started snowboarding, the world was telling us it wasn’t a legitimate sport. I figured since nobody thought we were legitimate athletes, I didn’t need to train like one. I spent all my time on the mountain. It wasn’t until I got injured at the 2004 X Games that I started to put attention on how my body actually worked. I had a discoid meniscus [thicker and disc-shaped] in my right knee, and tore it doing a trick when I was 17. After surgery and a tough rehab process, I began to learn the basics. I read somewhere Andre Agassi never stretched before competing, so I decided I never would either, but created a dynamic routine to do after. I realized I’d been holding myself back. I started to think like an athlete for ways to get that edge. Course Correct I didn’t really...

From Texas tacos and Miami ribs to Maryland oysters and Midwest spuds, w e’re s ingling out the 13 best dishes in America, a deliciously difficult endeavor. America’s tastiest meals are forever stuck in our heads. Now they’re in yours. And there’s coconut cake for dessert. 13 Best Dishes in America We Can’t Stop Thinking About 1. Bone Marrow Tacos: Comedor—Austin, TX (shown above) The very last restaurant meal we had out before the lockdown waves of 2020 began was at Comedor, Philip Speer’s modern Mexican hideaway in Austin, where they serve bone marrow dusted with Texas-proud pecan gremolata and served over a meadow of quelites (wild greens) with a basket of housemade tortillas for DIY taco-building. The beef jelly running like veins of black gold down the canoe-cut bones is unctuous, savory, delicious and still living rent-free in our brains. Scoop some out onto a tortilla, warm and redolent of the corn from which it was made, squirt a little lime on top to balance the fat an...
