The newest addition to their barrel-aged series, Barrel Runner is a Mosaic-hoped Imperial IPA. After the beer was brewed, it was aged in rum barrels to infuse sweet and spicy flavors from the barrel to take the already tropical IPA to the next level. It's set for release this summer and will be available in 750ml bottles and 12oz 4-packs.
Jägermeister is entering a new market with their latest release that features a blend of more than 56 botanicals. Manifest is said to be the world's first super-premium herbal liqueur and is crafted using a two-fold maturation process and matured in both small and large oak casks for more than a year to add flavor. The spirit is presented in a new clear 1L bottle with a hand-applied Jägermeister emblem in a bronze accentuate.

Based in San Diego, Pure Project Brewing blends Southern California style with unique flavors and ingredients. Their latest release, Sakura, is an unfiltered west coast IPA that is a collaboration between Pure Project and Pizza Port Brewing — a legendary brewpub with five locations throughout California. It draws its name from the Japanese cherry blossom and adds rice to the recipe along with Mosaic and Waimea hops.
Based in Finland, Kyrö is the world's northernmost gin and whiskey producing distillery. Koskue Barrel-Aged Gin is distilled using rye and botanicals that are locally sourced before aging the gin in American oak barrels for three months to absorb some vanilla and wood flavors. The distillers then "fine-tune" the blend with freshly distilled orange peel and black pepper. The spirit has won several international awards and is a favorite amongst whiskey fans.
Combining nuanced, balanced flavors with Keurig-like convenience, the American Press is an entirely new way to brew a cup of coffee. You use it by pressing down on the top, forcing your water through a patented reusable pod and up to the top, where it's ready to pour. A 100-micron steel filter ensures you won't end up with sediment in your joe, and the pressure-based brewing process leaves you with an espresso-inspired flavor profile that's less bitter than a cup of French Press. Its double-wall Tritan carafe can handle up to 14 ounces of coffee at a time.
Temescal Brewing's labels already showcase their love for the 1980's, and they're leaning into those influences even more with Push Pop IPA. The "Creamsicle IPA" is made to mimic the familiar flavors of one of the best ice cream truck staples ever and is brewed with lactose, vanilla beans, citrus zest, peach purée, and Southern Passion and Motueka hops.
All of Leica's cameras are somewhat rugged, but only the Leica X-U was built to thrive in the elements — including underwater. This is evidenced by the dedicated "UW" mode that adjusts the white balance and activates distortion correction for the conditions, and the flash that's placed as close as possible to the subject. Overall, the body is waterproof to 50 feet, in part thanks to a fixed lens, sealed aluminum top plate, and grippy TPE coating. Otherwise, the camera is still recognizable as a Leica, with all the manual controls you'd expect, a reassuring heft, and a slight influence from Audi Design, who collaborated on the project.
Sensor: 16.5-megapixel APS-C / Lens: Summilux 23mm f/1.7 (35mm equivalent) / Focus: Contrast-based AF / Burst: 5fps / Monitor: 3" LCD with 920,000 pixels / Video: 1080p / ISO: 100-12,500 / Body: Aluminum and Plastic with TPE reinforcement

Internationally known for whiskey, Suntory has also made gin since 1936. Their latest release is named Roku (Japanese for six) and highlights the six Japanese botanicals represented. Those six — cherry blossom, cherry leaves, green tea, refined green tea, Japanese pepper and yuzu — are blended with eight traditional botanicals to create a distinct flavor profile. The gin is packaged in a hexagonal bottle with Japanese calligraphy across the label to further represent the Japanese aesthetic.
Inspired by a handwritten recipe in George Washington's personal military journal from 1757, Freedom Reserve Lager was brewed by military vets that work for Budweiser. The beer is made using toasted barley grains and some hops and will be packaged in vintage stubby bottles and one-pint cans. The patriotic lager also continues a tradition of honoring American veterans as a portion of the proceeds sold will benefit a nonprofit organization that provides scholarships to military families.
With the annual Run For The Roses imminent, Florida brewery Funky Buddha has a special release to mark the occasion. The beer is brewed with barley, flaked corn, and rye for an American strong-style ale that mimics the recipe of Bourbon mash. Then fresh mint is added before the beer is aged in barrels that previously held High West whiskey for an extended period of time. The result is a unique 12% ABV beer that brings to mind a classic Kentucky cocktail that finds itself in the winner's circle every Spring.
A steady temperature and lack of light is an ideal environment for aging Champagne, but only a few houses in France take that to the extreme by aging their liquid underwater. Abysse is one of those, a Grand Cru Brut that 12 months under the sea off the coast of Southern France locked in a steel cage, after 48 months of aging on the lees in stainless-steel tanks and Burgundy French oak barrels. Abysse is the only ocean-aged Champagne being exported to the United States, with only 60 bottles being made available.
Memorial Day is just a month away which means rosé season is upon us. To ensure your poolside is fully stocked with light and crisp goodness, the Summer Water Societé will deliver their signature wine right to your doorstep. This service will drop off rosé monthly over May, June and July — two shipments will include three screen-printed magnums and the other comes in the form of a 24-pack of droplets — each one equalling 6 regular-sized bottles. Enrollment is going on now and the first package will arrive in May, just in time for the holiday festivities.

Future space travel adventures will include beer, but in zero-gravity conditions, our senses are altered — so drinks taste different, and pouring them is another problem entirely. Vostok Space Beer is a collaboration between 4 Pines Brewing and Saber Astronautics in Australia. The beer itself was brewed with a zero-gravity environment in mind using a dry Irish style stout recipe, while a special insert was created in the bottle that wicks the beer from the bottom to the neck, providing enough surface tension so you can drink Vostok directly from the bottle in space.
More than just a gimmick, the unique side-by-side design of the Double Barrel Vaporizer serves a purpose. Its shotgun-inspired layout allows for the use of two different oil cartridges at once, letting you mix-and-match to create a blend and flavor that works for you. Airflow plugs let you sample one side at a time when you prefer, and knuckle rings give it an edgy look befitting its name. Available at dispensaries throughout California.
Sake cups have been around since the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, but until now the liquid was mass-produced and inexpensive. Enter Sake changes that, offering sake from the Sekiya Brewery — a historic site established in 1864 as a because of the wealth of clean water from the mountains to make sake for travelers. Each single-serving cup is 180ml, 15% ABV, and allows you to take high-quality sake anywhere you go.
Shinola continues to build on its impressive line of timepieces with the Canfield Sport collection. The chronograph series features two movements, one of which is the Detroit-based company's most complex to date — the quartz Argonite 5040.F. This Canfield Sport has three subdials, a dual calendar aperture, a fourth date hand and a long-lasting battery. Built using a top loaded case construction, this timepiece boasts a 45mm stainless steel case with classic coin-edge detailing. The watch also features a black dial, a black ceramic bezel, and a black leather strap. The Canfield Sport reimagines the traditional sports watch and is a worthy addition to any well-curated collection.

Happy 4/20. With marijuana legal in nine states and D.C., cannabis strains are already being pored over and compared as closely as rare wine and fine cigars. So when Bloom Farms called us over a year ago to help with a new project, we knew we wanted to do two things — make a sleek, limited edition vapor pen and create a hybrid blend that had never been done before. The result is the Bloom Farms x Uncrate Highlighter Plus featuring Calaveras, a new 50/50 mixture of legendary strains.
The Uncrate-designed, USB-rechargeable pen has a PVD-plated stainless steel enclosure, gunmetal hardware, and an integrated ceramic heating element. Inside is the premium Calaveras oil from sustainably farmed plants, which gets its name because of where it's grown by Bloom Farms in Calaveras County, California.
The hybrid oil combines the Jack Herer strain (named after the cannabis rights activist and author), known for enhancing creativity and focus, with AC/DC, a strain known for its high CBD content and often used to mitigate pain without intoxication. The resulting blend balances "uplifting and relaxing properties that encourage simultaneous calmness and creativity."
Sold by Bloom Farms and available today at select dispensaries and cannabis delivery services in California. For every product sold, Bloom Farms donates a healthy meal to a food-insecure family or individual in need.
Located in the small town of Williamston, Michigan, Old Nation Brewing is quietly making one of the best IPAs in the country. Named for the Michigan highway that connects Old Nation with larger cities like Lansing, M-43 is a hazy, New England style IPA packed with the citrus aromas and flavors hopheads love but replaces much of the hop bite with a creamy, smooth mouthfeel that makes it more approachable for drinkers typically overwhelmed by hoppy beer. It features a blend of Calypso, Simcoe, Citra and Amarillo hops and is canned at 6.8% ABV.
The latest bourbon release from Wild Turkey blends the tastes of Kentucky and Texas together. The new spirit taps into the roots of the actor and Wild Turkey creative director Matthew McConaughey and uses a proprietary process to filter bourbon through Texas Mesquite and oak charcoals to refine and mellow the taste of the eight-year-old Wild Turkey. The bourbon's name is inspired by the friends that form the longest branches of family trees and will be the first Wild Turkey product to bear the signature of someone other than Master Distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell.
The brewery that helped kick off a beer renaissance in Cincinnati, Ohio has been experimenting with sour beers for nearly five years. Rhinegeist has learned a lot during that time, and are releasing the fruit of their labor dubbed "Outer Reaches." The first in the series is a sour blonde ale aged for six months called Infinite Dawn. It's packaged in corked and caged 500ml bottles in limited quantities and will be available this month throughout their distribution network.
An "infinity" bottle is a whiskey blend made up of small portions of different whiskeys in an attempt to create a unique taste. Barrell has taken this process to the next level with their Infinite Barrel Project, a blend of seven different whiskeys. Barrell's blending skills set this apart from the typical infinity bottle. They add and remove portions of whiskey and replace it with other barrels to complement the remaining blend. No two batches will be the same, and the first batch is bottled at 119.3 proof.
Inspired by the state flower of California, Red Poppy has been a staple in the Lost Abbey line for years. The Flander's Red Ale style is made using sour cherries and then aged in oak barrels for more than a year. It's tart, full of fruit flavor, and a little bit funky. One of the best sour beers brewed each year; Red Poppy is finished at 6.5% in these 375ml corked and caged bottles.
Inspired by British Code breakers that helped turn the tide in World War II, the latest release from The Glenlivet requires drinkers to decode the flavors of the whisky. Each bottle has a scannable code on the back that puts you in a virtual underground room where a hologram of the Master Distiller challenges them to crack the code by selecting four aromas and four flavors out of several combinations. Official tasting notes are currently absent but will be revealed at the end of the year.
Plenty of craft breweries make a coffee-infused beer. Not many use coffee beans they've roasted themselves. Modern Time in San Diego just happens to brew beer and make coffee, and Bedrock is the perfect combination of those passions. The beer is a brown ale brewed with their Black House Blend coffee and drinks more like a boozy cold brew than a beer. Available on-tap now and soon in these colorful, nitrogenated 16-ounce cans.
Plantation's Extrême series of limited release rums are the result of special barrels the distillery comes across that are unblended and bottled to celebrate their unique flavors. The most recent Extrême bottling was distilled at the now-closed Uitvlugt Distillery in 1999. It was aged in Guyana for 15 years in bourbon barrels and then sent to France for three additional years of aging in cognac casks. It weighs in at Full Proof (119.4), and only 1,000 bottles were produced.
For the first time in 17 years, Yuengling is adding a new beer to its core lineup. America's oldest brewery developed this new Pilsner over the course of 18 months before landing on a recipe that combines pale and specialty malts with Hallertau and Saaz hops. Light and crisp at 4.7% ABV, Golden Pilsner will be available in cans and bottles starting in April.
For Woodford Reserve fans looking for a little more heat, the distillery is releasing a limited run of batch proof bourbon. Part of their Master's Collection line of limited and at times experimental releases, the Versailles, Kentucky based distillery bottled their famous bourbon between 121 and 126 proof — a significant jump from the 90 proofer you typically enjoy. They did this using 120-130 barrels batched together and then bottled for this special release.
A classic style, amber ales rarely get their due these days. To help shed a brighter light on the style, Creature Comforts brewed a full-flavored amber ale aged on French Oak that quickly became a favorite in their taproom. It took three years, but they're now canning Reclaimed Rye, whose name is also a nod to the wood used to make the bars, picnic tables, and walls in the Creature Comforts brewery, all designed and built from local woodworkers.
In many Nordic countries, it's common to order 'A Coffee With' your Cognac. Inspired by that tradition Avec (the French word for "with") Cognac is being released by Renault, a Cognac brand that dates back to 1835. It's a blend of Grande Champagne, Petite Champagne, and Fins Bois Eaux-de-vie, with each aging between three and eight years. The barrels the Cognacs matured in were plunged into tanks of hot water and then brasero toasted, a method that is brand new to Cognac. It's not coffee infused but instead aims to complement your java, with enhanced notes of roasted mocha and vanilla from the toasted barrels.
Goose Island is one of the pioneers of boozy, barrel-aged stouts with more than 25 years of experience. Their latest success — aged in the same barrelhouse where the legendary Bourbon County Stout matures — is Brasserie Noir: an imperial stout aged in Cabernet barrels for up to 12 months. The Cab barrels infuse some sweetness, acidity, and dark fruit flavors into the beer, which weighs in at 11.3% ABV in 765ml bottles.
