Walmart is being sued for inventing a fake craft brewery
America’s love affair with craft beers has been growing steadily over the past decade. The desire to pay slightly more in exchange for beer that doesn’t taste like it was watered down with the bitter tears of Adolph Coors’ ghost is responsible for the craft beer market growing by double digits for eight of the last 10 years, accounting for more than a tenth of total U.S. beer sales beginning in 2015. So it’s understandable that other companies might want to get into such a seemingly lucrative market.

Grandpa drinks 32-year-old beer that he saved for a Cubs World Series win
A single Coors beer from 1984 still existed up until Wednesday night. When the Chicago Cubs lost in the NLCS to the San Diego Padres, this man stored away his beer and vowed not to drink it until the day the Cubs finally won the World Series. He probably didn't think it would take 32 years. But, it did. And he kept his promise when he cracked open the disgustingly old beer and ceremoniously poured as family watched.

This is how KLM plans to serve draft beer at 35,000 feet
Flying at 35,000 feet has always been a challenge for airlines in the culinary department. Our taste buds are about 30% less receptive to sweet and salty foods, making meals a bit less enjoyable. The reduced air pressure has also hindered airlines from serving draft beer straight from the tap, but KLM and Heineken have found a solution to this. It’s not the first time draft beer is being served on board a flight, but KLM’s technique seems to be more practical. Traditional carbon dioxide cartridges and tanks cannot be used at cruising altitudes as the low air cabin pressure results in a mostly foamy drink, which no one really wants.
