Game of Thrones Golden Ale Arrives in Time for Season 7

If you can count on anything in a Game of Throne episode, it’s backstabbing, dragons doing something cool, and a Lannister drinking way too much.

Once temperatures start to soar, it’s tempting to pack a cooler full of drinks and hit the shore for a day of lounging in the sand, hanging with friends or family, and sipping your favorite brew. But mixing alcohol and sun can be extremely dangerous. Read on for tips to make sure you have a safe summer. Dehydration: It’s a real thing. Although we say “quench your thirst with a few bottles of booze,” that’s actually not what happens at all. Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning, that you actually lose liquids and you continue to drink. Throw in some sun exposure and you can do some damage. Be sure to swap out a few of those beers from some icy cold waters. Overheating: You might wait all year to bask in the heat of the sun at the shore, but heat stroke is also a real thing, and it doesn’t just effect the young…

Report reveals the dirtiest drink to order at a pub

Your shoes might stick to the floor when you walk in, and the bar might be covered in peanuts, but chances are none of that would stop you from grabbing a drink at your local dive bar. We expect that no matter how “divey” our favorite watering hole is, that the drinks, at least, are in the clear — right? Wrong. As reported by The Independent, a recent study conducted by independent accreditation organization Cask Marque, looked at 22,000 pubs throughout the U.K and used 220,000 smart devices to determine the cleanliness of the beer lines — the route your beer takes from the basement to the glass. The study found the lines are often neglected, meaning that your beer flows through dirty pipes on its way to your glass — right before being served to you with a smile. Cider specifically was cited as the worst with 44% being pulled through dirty lines. Stout came in…

If you have ever thought that your living room coffee table should be contributing more to your happiness, then you’ll jump at the chance to get in early on the new coffee table prototype currently raising funds on Indigogo. The Sobro is a coffee table designed with your connected lifestyle in mind. Sure, you likely already have charging ports, a refrigerator, bluetooth speakers and LED lights at your home, but isn’t America about innovation? Meat, bread and cheese existed already, but it took a California entrepreneur to see that the world needed a cheeseburger. The Sobro brings all of these features together in one place — meaning you never have to get up. The most prominent feature is probably the refrigerator drawer that keeps beverages and food chilled — and always in reach. Despite the bachelor pad design, the look is surprisingly sleek and could work in rooms…

Budweiser Talks Making Martian Beer

As scientists search for ways to make living on Mars a possibility for people in the future, Budweiser is plotting to make sure the first pioneers who land on the Red Planet don’t have to “cheers” using Tang. On Saturday, at South by Southwest Interactive in Austin, Texas, Budweiser announced plans to research and produce a microgravity brew. The panel featured retired astronaut Clayton Anderson, vice president of Budweiser Ricardo Marques, and Anheuser-Busch vice president of marketing innovation Val Toothman. “It’s a dream that builds off of our relentless focus on innovation,” Marques said according to AdWeek. “When we can enjoy a few ice-cold Buds on the Red Planet, that will be the moment when we can truly realize our dreams of space colonization.” The lack of gravity presents enormous challenges to brewing beer in space. The whole fermentation process relies on gravity, as does consumption. Beer on Mars would taste completely flat. “When you’re in a zero-gravity environment,…
