Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 11:33:31 GMT

If you’re looking for the country’s best brewpub, look no further than Colorado’s Western Slope, where a tiny brewery recently won the aforementioned title in USA Today’s reader choice awards, known as 10Best.Opened in October 2020, Stronghouse Brew Pub in Telluride makes about 350 barrels of beer per year – the vast majority of which it sells onsite, said general manager Mike Hayes. He’s not sure how the brewery and restaurant landed on USA Today’s radar, but it’s been included on the best brewpubs lists previously. This year, however, marks the first time Stronghouse took the top spot.“We’re stoked,” Hayes said. “We tow a different line of beer as far as Telluride goes. Telluride Brewing Company has, in the beer world, put Telluride on the map. We go on the lighter side versus a big hop direction.”USA Today’s 10Best nominees are curated by a group of experts before the publication offers readers the opportunity to vote for their favorite businesses in a variety of categories.

COVID-19 hospitalizations in the U.S. are on the rise again, but not like before

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 11:33:31 GMT

Here we go again: COVID-19 hospital admissions have inched upward in the United States since early July in a small-scale echo of the three previous summers.With an updated vaccine still months away, this summer bump in new hospitalizations might be concerning, but the number of patients is far lower than before. A look at what we know:HOW BAD IS THE SPIKE?For the week ending July 29, COVID-19 hospital admissions were at 9,056. That’s an increase of about 12% from the previous week.But it’s a far cry from past peaks, like the 44,000 weekly hospital admissions in early January, the nearly 45,000 in late July 2022, or the 150,000 admissions during the omicron surge of January 2022.“It is ticking up a little bit, but it’s not something that we need to raise any alarm bells over,” said Dr. David Dowdy, an infectious disease epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.It’s likely that infections are rising too, but the data is scant.

Joints, edibles and six packs? Acquisition of beer brands could portend more cannabis-infused beverages

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 11:33:31 GMT

The future of cannabis may be canned (and bottled) as a Canadian company has agreed to purchase several craft beer brands from Budweiser's parent company, with the company's CEO indicating that they plan to create marijuana-infused beverages.Tilray Brands, based in Leamington, Ontario, is acquiring eight popular brands including Shock Top, Redhook Brewery and HiBall Energy for $85 million. The deal includes "breweries and brewpubs associated with these brands, as well as current employees," the Wall Street Journal reports. From an alcohol perspective, the move makes Tilray a larger player in the craft beer market, but it also could open doors for cannabis in the future. In addition to its alcohol holdings, Tilray owns cannabis brands like Broken Coast and Solei, which could allow the company to infuse their drinks with TCH, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana.Tilray CEO Irwin Simon said in a statement to MJBizDaily, which covers the cannabis industry, that the acquisition "marks ...
