So yes, we are in fact drinking one of these right now. And yes, we may drink another at some point over the next few weeks. But make no mistake: this is not the kind of bottle you open up every day. Like so many of the beers in Stone Brewing‘s anniversary series, this one is hopped to the high heavens and jacked up to a mind-erasing 9.8% ABV. Packaged in 22oz bombers, you’d be best served splitting it with a friend....

Today, we consider time to be one of our most important assets, which explains the explosion in the popularity of meal delivery services. We want delicious, home-cooked meals, but we don’t want to take the time to do the research or pick up the right groceries. So why should getting your weed be any different? That’s the idea behind a new California start-up called Lucky Box Club. It’s a hand-crafted, farm-to-lung experience....

The third largest of all islands in the South Pacific, New Caledonia has been a tourist magnet for years due to its stunning views, delicious food and over-the-water bungalows....

But if you’re a competitive athlete who’s constantly chasing a PR, the latest gear and technology can help you eke out a stronger finish and shave some time off your mile, 5K, or half-marathon time.

British filmmaker Hannah Maia had never experienced the humility and responsibility of reaching out to the world to crowdfund her latest documentary project last spring. Then again, barely a year ago she’d also never imagined setting off on a summer of wilderness canoeing in northern Canada with a cadre of young women, aiming to document the transformational effects of a long-distance journey in a rugged landscape of big lakes, cascading rivers and diabolical bugs, with the legendary Camp Keewaydin....

Let’s face it: Feet are a pain. Seriously—foot pain leads to all kinds of ailments like back problems, poor posture, and crippling, debilitating pain. Orthotic inserts have been shown to have positive effects on foot pain. But doctor-prescribed orthotics are wildly expensive, and OTC insoles are really just pads. They feel good, but wear out quickly. And they don’t correct the issue. Don’t you wish there was an orthotic insole that you could buy over the counter to eliminate foot pain?...

Sometimes, having someone telling you what to do is the kick in the butt you need to make a change. And since New Year’s resolutions tend to be centered around health and fitness, you’re likely in need of some trusting voices to help you get ahead in your career and relationships, too. Enter the advice of experts—therapists, career coaches, business professors, book authors—who know what it takes to have the partnership you’ve always wanted, push through doubt, and wind up with the career of your dreams....

How many pieces of activewear do you own? Now, ask yourself: Of that number, how many do you actually wear? With the amount of brands that have made their way into the activewear space (a category that does not seem to be losing any relevance) it’s hard not to want to buy one of everything. How else are you going to decipher which has the best quality? Outdoor Voices makes apparel that fuses form and function....

Michael B. Jordan is back in the gym training for his next role. The Creed and Black Panther star is set to lead a new action film in Without Remorse, based on the Tom Clancy novel of the same name that centers on the character of John Clark. ‘Without Remorse’: The Guide to Michael B. Jordan’s New Tom Clancy Movie Read article The thriller will follow Jordan’s Clark, a highly skilled U....

We all want to be the kind of guy who’s able to join any group of friends in all kinds of sports and activities. Soccer? Sure, why not. Intense intramural football? Of course. A half marathon next month? Uh, I’ll get back to you on that… Let’s face it, not all of us were three-sport athletes in high school. A lot of guys settled on the sport they excelled at most, and focused on improving and honing their skills, more or less abandoning other sports....

If you’re just getting started running (or just getting a new pair of running shoes), don’t pick up just any shoes that fit (or look cool). Now, you may not yet know what your biomechanical needs are or what that means. But you do probably see running shoes thrown around with terms like “pronation” and “underpronation”. Both of these speak to your body’s individual running stride—its strengths and weaknesses—and if they don’t mean much to you, don’t sweat it....

On Saturday morning, Antonio De La Rosa made ocean-crossing history as the first person to standup paddle from the mainland U.S. to Hawaii. Hours after completing the historic voyage, the 50-year-old Spanish endurance athlete connected with local photographer Tony Heff to run through the design essentials of his custom-built 24-foot-long SUP super-craft dubbed Ocean Defender, which he paddled upright for 2,900 miles over 77 days, solo and unsupported. The craft’s peanut-like profile allowed De La Rosa to paddle midship from either side without adjusting his stance....

Okay, we admit it: We feel a bit ridiculous getting this excited about a trash can. But we’re not the only ones. This simplehuman kitchen trash can gets nearly 400 five-star reviews—out of about 420—on Bed Bath and Beyond. Folks are calling it “the Cadillac of trash cans!” And right now it’s on sale starting at $115. So yeah, we’re pretty psyched about it. The space-efficient design of the simplehuman 45-liter Rim Step Trash Can lets you store it up against a wall or in a broom closet, clean out of sight....

Bartenders are reimagining a fresher martini. They’re souping up the gin-and-vermouth base with craft spirits and aperitifs—even (gasp!) serving it on the rocks. Citrus-Braised Short Ribs With Star Anise and Cocoa Read article Ready to try the new trend? Here are our favorite new takes on a two-ingredient classic. Ipswitch Named after a 1920s speakeasy, this martini send-up, from Denver’s Death & Company, is ultradry with a dose of botanical flavors, thanks to the Patagonian spirit Träkál....

To overcome the catastrophic coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic at hand, it’s important to recognize the positives. One beacon is selfless service. Countless acts by organizations and individuals alike are minimizing the lasting damage. This hard work isn’t only done by the ER doctors, nurses, and first responders constituting our last line of defense. It’s also the good Samaritans doing thankless work next door. We raise our glasses to all the local heroes on the front lines—from all the hospital workers to the grocery stockers, postal workers, small business owners, plus those delivering goods to the elderly and at-risk, #weoweyoudrink....

If kayaker Larry Merrill lived in Weeki Wachee, Florida, paddling for 303 consecutive months (i.e. a quarter century and change) would be somewhat impressive — or if Merrill had begun his span of paddling when he was a mere quarter century old, for that matter. Merrill, however, began his stretch of paddling when he was nearly 50. And he lives in Orrington, Maine, where water is hard for months, which requires either a hard-headed paddler or a paddler with a seriously soft spot for kayaking....

With the “New Year, New You” goals you have set for yourself, it will not be easy to make those changes in your life. Eating healthier and doing a little more exercising isn’t the end of it. If you don’t break the chains of the bad habits that you have accrued over time, any attempt will crumble in short order. But with a subscription to fitness program Noom, you can break those chains....

What It Is: One of the lightest, safest, most aerodynamic, and well-ventilated road bike helmets available, POC’s Ventral Spin stands out among others on the market. One big reason: its Spin technology, which is a series of silicone pads located between the helmet and your head. If you crash, the pads absorb impact from any direction, including rotational impact. But because the silicone is incorporated into the helmet pads, there’s nothing extra inside the helmet to interfere with airflow or comfort....

Of all the grains finding their way onto grocery store shelves, none has surged in popularity quite like red fife. A wheat that was dominant in much of the world in the 19th century, red fife fell out of favor; but thanks to its herbal, nutty, faintly sweet qualities, it was revived by North American farmers in the early 2000s. “Like all whole grains, red fife has more protein and fiber than refined grains,” says La Pecora Bianca’s Simone Bonelli, who specializes in making traditional (ancient grain) Italian pasta using local, organic whole-grain flours....
