Six Viewpoints from The High End from The High End on Vimeo. On Tuesday, June 27, the Brewers Association announced the launch of an “Independent Craft Brewer” seal, created to differentiate small and independent craft brewers and their products from Big Beer producers and products. After the announcement, Anheuser-Busch InBev reached out to share their perspective about the seal and what it means for the beer industry as a whole. Below is an interview with Felipe Szpigel, president of AB InBev’s the High End, a division responsible for the acquisition and growth of craft breweries....

For one of the first times in my long writing career, I’m crippled by writer’s block. I’m sitting in a dimly lit attic space in Denver, taking part in a creative writing class. As inspiration, the instructors have offered up a variety of writing prompts: a passage read from a book, vials of fragrant essential oils, an image from a children’s book. I’ve latched onto a painting they’ve unveiled depicting a somber-faced woman with a lobster claw for a hand....

While traversing across Lake Aleknagik, Dave Roseman spotted something in the water directly in the boat’s path, something he had never seen before in his 21 years working in the wilds of Alaska. “Initially I assumed it was a flock of ducks or maybe a moose, so I couldn’t believe it when I realized it was two bear cubs on their mom’s back,” Roseman told Caters News of the Father’s Day encounter....

One major concern this time of year is how to undo the excess of the holidays. Helping the gut microbiome is a start. Health-Ade Kombucha is a fermented tea that contains probiotics—the same stuff you get from miso, sauerkraut, and yogurt—which can help add to the healthy bacteria in your gut. Have a serving in the morning to aid in digestion throughout the day. The Healthiest Low-sugar Kombuchas on the Market...

People have strong opinions about marijuana. From whether it can help you recover from a workout to its effects on the human body, there are plenty of pros and cons to consider. There are also plenty of grey areas. The most menacing, though, is weed’s influence on your ability to reproduce. There’s been plenty of speculation over pot’s sperm-harming side effects for men and overall fertility for women. Usually there’s no smoke without fire, but in this case it’s a misconception....

Poker has never been this dangerous—or this good-looking. The first trailer has been released for Molly’s Game—the true story of Molly Bloom, a former Olympic skier who for a decade ran a multi-million dollar poker game catering to celebrities, movie stars, and business moguls. Jessica Chastain stars as Bloom, who gets in over her head with the Russian mob and the FBI before being taken down. Idris Elba plays Bloom’s lawyer, while Michael Cera stars as “Player X,” one of the celebrities who plays in the titular game....

There’s no denying Everest has a trash problem. If you’re not aware of the massive efforts made to clean up the mountain of discarded gear, garbage, and, yes, dead bodies, read “Here’s What You Need to Know About Bally’s Cleanup Initiative on Everest“. Now, to prevent further degradation, Nepal is banning single-use plastic on Everest and the surrounding Khumbu area, CNN reports. What constitutes single-use plastic is anything under 30 microns thick (roughly 0....

With 73 career touchdowns, two Super Bowl rings, and a Madden cover, Rob Gronkowski is arguably the best tight end in football. But if, for whatever reason, being an NFL All-Pro doesn’t work out for him, No.87 could have a future in the adult film industry—or so says one of the top porn stars in the business. In an interview with TMZ, porn performer Richelle Ryan was asked to choose one pro football player best suited for a career in erotic exploits, and she chose Gronk....

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to worsen, daily life for people around the world has become almost unrecognizable. Major league sports are canceled. Travel has ground to a halt. People across the country are working from home and only venturing out for food and necessities. When they do leave, they confront eerily empty streets and vacant grocery store shelves. There are now over 7,000 confirmed cases of the virus within the U....

Call it skinning, skimo, or uphilling—whatever the term, it’s a doozy of a workout. It’s skiing’s latest, perhaps greatest, fad: alpine touring, a backcountry offshoot that employs new boot and binding technology to access remote stashes of endless powder. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies “You’re essentially skiing uphill as well as down,” says Dan Sherman of the travel site Ski.com. This feat of antigravity is accomplished with removable climbing “skins” that have bristles which allow skis to glide up the hill and bite back into the snow to keep you from slipping down....

If nobody’s forced vegetables on you since you were a kid, consider this an order. British researchers found that cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, cabbage, and cauliflower, may quash a gene in prostate tissue related to prostate cancer. In the study, men with early-stage prostate cancer ate broccoli soup for a year. Those who had a soup with a boost of glucoraphanin—a phytonutrient in certain vegetables—saw total suppression of the gene that causes cancer cells to infect healthy tissue....

You never want to be the guy who gets the attention of everyone in the gym for failing, but sometimes it’s just how the cookie crumbles. In this case, this guy crumbled under too much weight while doing a back squat on the Smith machine. As it happens, this is a fairly common mistake. Lots of guys think that Smith machines are inherently safer than a free squat rack, because the Smith machine tracks your movement and seems to give you the option of racking the bar at a lower height....

LG’s presentation of its new voice assistant did not go exactly as planned at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show. In a video from the BBC, LG’s Vice President of Marketing David VanderWaal cannot get the device thing to even acknowledge some of his questions. The assistant is named CLOi (pronounced like the name Chloe) and, in theory, can do everything from telling you what’s on your calendar to pre-setting your washer and dryer for special modes depending on what you have planned that day....

Following a breakout sophomore year for the Penn State Nittany Lions, Saquon Barkley is getting ready for a big 2017 season. The running back is considered an early Heisman candidate after rushing for 1,496 yards and 18 touchdowns for the reigning Big Ten champions, but he’s not just coasting on his ridiculous combination of power, agility, and speed (he put up an astonishing 4.33-second 40-yard dash in February 2017). He’s hitting the gym hard this offseason, too....
