“America has no chill” is something you might feasibly say this summer, without a trace of irony, to indicate that your beer is warm. If that drives you to madness (and it should!), blame Budweiser, which plans to rename its eponymous beer “America” from May 23 through the U.S. presidential election in November. Mmm, nothing like a nice cold can of America. Lemme get an America, please. This party sucks, all they have is America. “We thought nothing was more iconic than Budweiser and nothing was more iconic than America,” Tosh Hall told Co.Design this week. Hall is the creative director of Jones Knowles Ritchie, the firm that helps the beer company with branding. The name change would have been brazen enough, but Budweiser, which is owned by the Belgium-based company Anheuser-Busch InBev, didn’t stop there. In a release Tuesday, Budweiser boasted that it will be slathering its new cans and bottles with snippets of America-related text. That includes the Pledge of Allegiance and the lyrics of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “America the Beautiful,” which will all appear on Budweiser products in the coming months. As a reminder, this will happen because the company loves America so much, and definitely not because its sales have been waning in the U.S. or anything like that. Budweiser didn’t respond to requests for comment from The Huffington Post (specifically “Really?” and “Why?”). “We are embarking on what should be the most patriotic summer that this generation has ever seen, with Copa America Centenario being held on U.S. soil for the first time, Team USA competing at the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games,” Ricardo Marques, a vice president at Budweiser, said in the company’s release. “Budweiser has always strived to embody America in a bottle, and we’re honored to salute this great nation where our beer has been passionately brewed for the past 140 years.” Steve Kurowski of the Colorado Brewers Guild, a nonprofit that represents more than 150 craft breweries in Colorado, had a different interpretation. “It is no surprise to see Budweiser Anheuser-Busch pull off something like this. They’re doing everything they can to remain relevant in the American beer market,” Kurowski, the guild’s operations director, told The Huffington Post. “The ironic thing about this campaign is that Budweiser isn’t even an American-owned brewery these days.” Budweiser’s redesign, accompanied by the tag line “America is in your hands,” will feature heavily in a TV spot set to premiere June 1, the company said. (Remember, this is the company that dropped the puppy from its Super Bowl commercials so it could run an ad mocking craft beer while claiming that Budweiser, in contrast, is “brewed the hard way.”) Perhaps unsurprisingly, the announcement prompted much mockery on Twitter: Source: http://allofbeer.com/budweisers-just-gonna-call-itself-america-for-a-while/ from https://allofbeer.wordpress.com/2018/02/28/budweisers-just-gonna-call-itself-america-for-a-while/

(CNN)CNN commentators and guest analysts offer their take on Wednesday night’s final presidential debate. The opinions expressed in these commentaries are solely theirs. Julian Zelizer: A stunning moment in the debateBuck Sexton: We’re trapped in crass reality show
The final presidential debate was as expected: nasty, brutish and not short enough. Trump won, though it was likely too close a call to affect the polls. While the policy substance was probably the strongest of all three candidate face offs, it was overshadowed by the plentiful personal attacks. Nothing new was learned about either candidate. It was a debate that was more instructive as a microcosm of a generally dispiriting election race than as a moment to change the minds of undecided American voters.
Perhaps the melee on stage was inevitable. We have reached the saturation point for mudslinging in this election. A public contest for who should be the next commander-in-chief shouldn’t feel like the most crass, ungallant reality TV show imaginable, yet here we are. No matter what the final outcome on November 8th, both major parties’ top-of-ticket candidates have largely deprived this country of a substantive public debate on policies that matter.
Instead, we have been privy to an all-out partisan media war, with unrepentant Hillary Clinton enablers on one side, and Donald-Trump-at-all-costs defenders on the others (though a vast majority of the chattering class clings to Madam Secretary’s side). This battle of propaganda machines will churn on, unmercifully, until election day, and whichever candidate ends up winning the White House, he or she will have been ethically sullied and politically hobbled along the way. The debate was merely reflective of these unfortunate realities.

Frida Ghitis: Donald Trump is a frightening man
There’s no point in going through the specific beats, themes and responses in this final presidential debate of 2016. The actual answers provided by the candidates to Chris Wallace’s admirably measured questions were so overshadowed by Trump’s blatant refusal to guarantee that he would abide by the simple rules of our democracy that they are irrelevant to the decision voters face in a few short weeks.
Any patchy veneer Trump might still have of his being a legitimate candidate running a legitimate campaign were erased when he announced that he would keep America “in suspense” over whether he would, in Wallace’s words, support a “peaceful transfer of power” if the election did not go his way.
Combine that statement with his frequent intimations of Second Amendment “solutions,” his tacit embrace of the extreme alt-right and his declaration from the very stage that his opponent was a “criminal” who should’ve been “prevented from running for office,” and the foul brew that Trump is fermenting has a familiar odor: It smells of beer halls in November.
There is no longer a subtle way to say this: Trump and what he represents must be soundly rejected, wholly repudiated and fully dispelled from our body politic, by a popular and electoral number that can’t be questioned. Any other outcome risks a rupture in the fabric of our republic.

Yup, thats right. The hotel named from Republican nominee Donald Trumpspelled the nameof the country wrong on the very same night the nominee was making his case to tens of millions of viewers around the world. The lobby bar of the hotel had specially themed menus available on Monday night for the debate, the Daily Beast reported. The menu included items such as Trump sliders and Hillary hummus, both for $29. The menu also included the Benjamin beer silver bucket. Included in that beer bucket was unlimited Amerrica beer. AMERRICA.
Amerrica. The unlimited beer bucket of Amerrica beer cost $100 per person and lasted for three hours. I mean, I live in New York City, and I still cant recall ever spending close to $100 on just beer for just myself over the course of 3 hours. But do you, Trump International! The Trump hotel here was the very same that just opened a few weeks ago. When it opened, Donald called a press conference, allegedly to speak about the racist birther movement, which he instead spent publicizing his new hotel.
Trumpeven managed to find a way to promote his new DC hotel during the debate itself, which was on Monday night at Hofstra University. When talking about how he would help promote the economy, Trumpsaid,
To which, moderator Lester Holt responded,
After Trump gave his speech about birtherism, the hotel he touted promptly fell apart:
So, yeah, so far the Trump International Washington, DC, seems to be doing pretty great. Im sure Donald is very proud and believes it is a large part of how to Make Amerrica Great Again.

Analysis of the wealth of America’s richest people found that Gates, Bezos and Buffett were sitting on a combined $248.5bn (£190bn) fortune. The Institute for Policy Studies said the growing gap between rich and poor had created a “moral crisis”. In a report, the Billionaire Bonanza, the thinktank said Donald Trump’s tax change proposals would “exacerbate existing wealth disparities” as 80% of tax benefits would end up going to the wealthiest 1% of households. “Wealth inequality is on the rise,” said Chuck Collins, an economist and co-author of the report. “Now is the time for actions that reduce inequality, not tax cuts for the very wealthy.” The study found that the billionaires included in Forbes magazine’s list of the 400 richest people in the US were worth a combined $2.68tn – more than the gross domestic product (GDP) of the UK. “Our wealthiest 400 now have more wealth combined than the bottom 64% of the US population, an estimated 80m households or 204 million people,” the report says. “That’s more people than the population of Canada and Mexico combined.” The report says the “billionaire class” continues to “pull apart from the rest of us” at the fastest rate ever recorded. “We have not witnessed such extreme levels of concentrated wealth and power since the first gilded age a century ago.” Forbes celebrated 2017 as “another record year for the wealthiest people in America”, as “the price of admission to the country’s most exclusive club jumped nearly 18% to $2bn”. That was a tenfold increase on the amount of money needed to enter the list when it first started in 1982. Josh Hoxie, another co-author of the thinktank report, said: “So much money concentrating in so few hands while so many people struggle is not just bad economics, it’s a moral crisis.” The report says many Americans are joining an “emerging anti-inequality movement”. “A century ago, a similar anti-inequality upsurge took on America’s vastly unequal distribution of income and wealth and, over the course of little more than a generation, fashioned a much more equal America,” it says. The rise at the wealthiest end of society comes as one in five US households live in what the report’s authors call the “underwater nation”, with either zero or negative wealth. Inequality is even more stark among minorities. Three in 10 black households and 27% of Latino ones have zero or negative wealth, compared with 14% of white families. Just two African Americans made the Forbes 400: Oprah Winfrey (number 264 with $3bn) and the tech investor Robert Smith (226 with $3.3bn). Five members of the Forbes 400 have Latino backgrounds, including the property magnate Jorge Pérez, the LA Angels baseball team owner Arturo Moreno and three members of the family of late Colombian beer magnate Julio Mario Santo Domingo, a major shareholder of SABMiller. The top 25 people in the survey are all white. The richest is Gates, the Microsoft founder, with $89bn, followed by Amazon’s Bezos with $81.5bn, then investor Warren Buffett with $78bn and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg with $71bn. Since the Forbes 400 was published last month, Amazon’s share price has increased by more than 10%, lifting Bezos’s fortune to an estimated $95bn, putting him in the provisional number one spot. • Follow Guardian Business on Twitter at @BusinessDesk, or sign up to the daily Business Today email here.

My hands reach out for my friend, whos laughing beside me while I slip. Grab onto the wall! she says, holding me up and skating us to the side. My fingers grasp for the wood and thats how I pull myself along, inch by inch. Were at a birthday party, and I had a choice: I could sit on the bench with a donut, or I could go out and skate with everyone else. Ice skating wasnt my thingI knew this. But they all made it look so easy. People are flying by, one foot in front of the other. Two of them are in a race to see who can circle the arena the fastest. I feel the breeze they leave behind as they rush past. Im barely moving. My friend takes a lap, then joins me back at my spot on the wall. You just need to let go, she says. If you fall once youll realize its not that bad. Im skepticalthe ice is hard, were only wearing pajamas. I dont want to embarrass myself. Im good here, I tell her. Taking only the smallest steps forward, too afraid to let go. Too afraid to fall. * Its not easy for me to fall. Not with just anybody. For the past four years, I thought I had only one chance. That Id fallen in love and blew it, that I wouldnt get another shot at it. That nobody else could live up to that experiencethat a first time cant be topped. And then I met a boy in March. Id dated other people in between. I spent a year of my life standing by, but not necessarily with, the worlds sweetest man, but never said the four-letter word we all hope to hear. I never felt it. Id gone on more first dates than I can even remember, with boys who I struggled to remember the names of. Id had fleeting moments with boys I met in bars or through friends. Every time I felt something missing. Every time I thought it was a lost cause, but I never stopped trying. I wanted to feel butterflies again. In March, a boy called me on the phone. From the first sound of his voice, I knew something was going to be different. He always called, never texted. He said he wanted to be in my life, not on my screen. He said a lot of wonderful things. His words were always what sank me furtherfalling. When I talked about him, I told everyone he was a sunshine human. One of those rare people who brighten every space, who lighten your days. My heart had felt so heavy, and then he came and made it light again. We shared our dark places from date one and we didnt care about what they meant. We filled them with light together. I thought, I let myself fall, ignoring the insecurities that normally held me back. I dove all in, and when I fell it felt like I was rising. But then I hit bottom. Fallen. Broken. * I went out to dinner with a friend I hadnt seen in a long time. We talked about him joining the army, about my job, about a mutual aversion to dark beers. Tell me about your love life? he asked. The wound was still fresh. I told him everything. From meeting the sunshine boy to finding out he wasnt radiating the goodness I thought he was. And theres been nobody else? my friend asks when the conversation ends. I shake my head. He stops for a second, takes a sip of beer. I just hope it doesnt stop you from falling for someone so easily again. I hope so too. But now I know how painfully long the distance is from top to bottom. * My friend laps me again. Okay, you need to get off this wall, she says, grabs my hand. Im terrified, standing on shaky ankles trying to keep myself steady. I dont let go of her, but she starts speeding up. You can keep up, she assures me. Were rounding a corner, holding up the people behind us. I shuffle my feet forward a little faster. Another lap around and Im standing on my own, still shaky, still uncomfortablebut Im doing it. Going at a pace faster than a crawl, ice skating. People who noticed I was the girl on the wall cheer as they pass me; Im feeling confident now. Another lap around and I decide to go faster. Bad idea. The ice feels foreign again, my feet cant adjust, cant find a footing. Im going faster and faster just trying to keep uprightout of control. Then Im falling, arms flailing, legs sprawled in separate directions. I hit hard on the ice, feel the cold soak through to my skin. My friends caught up to me; shes holding back laughter. But Im the first to let it loose. Tears rolling down my nose, unable to breathe type of laughter. Im fine. A little bruised, but she was right. I fellit didnt kill me. Its easy to stand back up and start again, knowing a bout of laughter is the worst I have to look forward to. Now that Ive fallen, the rest of the night is mine to enjoy. Source: http://allofbeer.com/the-art-of-falling/ from https://allofbeer.wordpress.com/2018/02/27/the-art-of-falling/ Listen up, beer drinkers. If you want to be a proud beer snob who knows your sh*t when it comes to the brews of the world, start by understanding the difference between English India Pale Ale and American India Pale Ale. Some of you IPA hounds may already know. If thats the case, you can stop reading and get on with your hoppy life. For most of you who think you know, but arent 100 percent sure, you may want to confirm the facts before you look like a phony craft beer drinker. And for those of you trying to get into beer beyond beer pong beer, IPA is a good and very respectable place to start. A Brief History Of IPAIndia Pale Ale got its start back in the day when the English needed a way to export beer to British troops in India so it wouldnt go bad. Who wants bad booze? No one. The solution to this quandary was to brew strong pale ales with extra hops to help preserve it for the long journey. Then, as per usual, Americans got involved. In the ’80s, craft brewers in the good old US of A took it upon themselves to make an American version of this EnglishIPA by using American hops. They likely did this so they could state Made in America loud and proud on the label. A Quick Overview Of The TwoEnglish IPAs are thought to be generally bitter, yet smooth. It feels light in the mouth and often ends with a bitter to hoppy finish. American IPAs typically havea much bigger hop profile compared to the EnglishIPAs, which have more of a subtle, classic taste withpronounced hops. For an easy way to remember the difference, you could say the two versions fit the stereotypical British versus American way. It’s polite and classy versus loud and proud; you can guess which belongs to which. (PS: EnglishIPAs tend to have a lower ABV than the American-style. Typical.) It Comes Down To The HopsThe main difference between the two is the hop variety used to brew the beer. EnglishIPAs are made with hops that produce more of a flowery, spicy and earthy character to the beer. American IPAs use completely different types of hops, which give it a tropical fruit and piney taste that results in a bit more bitterness. An Explanation Needs An ExampleIts hard to grasp what something tastes like through the written word, but there are two beers you can do a real-life tasting of to help understand the differences betweenthe two. Stone IPA is a true American IPA that is well-known to many IPA drinkers in the US. Its a craft brew from San Diego. Thismakes sense, since hops grow plentiful on the West Coast and are the signature differentiating factor that affects the taste profile. Aside from knowing the beer as a quintessential ingredient of an Irish Car Bomb, Guinness actually makes a Nitro IPA. For those looking to see what the British IPA should really taste like, the flavor of Guinness Nitro IPA fits the bill. It’s citrusy with gentle pine notes, yet it is smooth, creamy and rich with a pleasant, bitter, hoppy finish. So, there you have it. These are the main differences between the mysterious India Pale Ales. This brief overview of American IPA and EnglishIPA should give you an edge when it comes to knowing your beer. Once youve absorbed this valuable information, youll begin to notice it while you sip. Share the knowledge and spread it to establish your street cred as a respectable craft beer drinker.

Exactly. Cooking doesnt have to be complicated and it can be delicious with only three ingredients or less. Now, were not talking about peanut butter and jelly or a bowl of cereal with milk although theres nothing wrong with those but rather more innovative creations like Nutella cake, jalapeno poppers, pulled pork, and ice cream. Youll wonder, Why didnt I think of that?

My old one, two pieces of titanium attached with a rubber band, was getting too old and things were falling out. I did a quick hunt and found a few very flat minimalist wallets, but nothing that seemed to be rugged and clever. Enter Trayvax. I tried the Trayvax Element, a leather and stainless steel monster with a built-in bottle opener and a money clip. The whole thing costs $84.99 and holds up to 10 cards. The wallet is surprisingly tight when you first open it, but Trayvax recommends soaking the leather in warm water for about 10 minutes and then placing all of the cards you want to stuff in at once. This stretches the leather permanently but doesnt mean youll end up with stuff falling out. A handy strap keeps things intact. Further, the wallet has a money clip in the back that holds a few bills, and a rear flap protects the cash and the cards. The entire thing is RDIF resistant. The whole thing isnt completely minimalist, but it is a clever and interesting design. Because it is made of steel and thick leather it will last as long as a good wallet should, and the dimensions are perfect for a front pocket. Plus it has a bottle opener. Now that the Trayvax is carefully sized to my cards and getting a little patina from my pockets, its becoming a part of my so-called everyday carry. At $84 its a bit pricey, but for what you get durability, RFID protection and the ability to drink without consequence is worth the price of admission.

Before last week, they didn’t have much reason to interact with each other. No reason to feud. No reason to disrespect each other in vlogs that fly back and forth across the Atlantic. But within the past week, the two have begun a glorious feud that has riled up plenty of YouTubers, family members, and both vloggers’ fanbases. It’s a beef built on irrelevancy—or at least, on the guise of irrelevancy—with whispers of body-shaming and misogynistic slurs. Whether the feud will end in a combat sports competition or whether it’ll fade away like a YouTuber who’s been demonetized, it’s given the internet plenty of entertaining content in the past week. And no doubt, it’s made KSI more popular in the U.S. and given Jake Paul an even deeper reach into the U.K. The world seems to love YouTube conflicts, and Jake Paul (and, to a lesser extent, Logan Paul) vs. KSI has hit all the right notes. You might be wondering how these YouTubers got so deep into their beef so quickly. Here’s a handy timeline for your enjoyment and/or disapproval. …Saturday, Feb. 3: Before the Paul brothers were pulled into the fray, KSI was boxing against U.K. vlogger Joe Weller to settle their feud—which, like the one with the Paul brothers, is rather inane. After KSI stopped Weller in the third round to win the YouTube boxing championship, he took the microphone and yelled to the London crowd, “If any YouTuber wants it, you can come get it. Jake Paul, Logan Paul, any of the Pauls. I don’t care.” Fans immediately tweeted at Jake Paul, letting him know about KSI’s challenge. Paul’s response?
A longer message from Paul, though, was coming. Sunday, Feb. 4: Paul seemed to take great delight in his newly acquired adversary, posting a vlog in which he began his KSI-is-too-irrelevant-for-me storyline. He also mockingly referred to KSI as “PSI,” “CSI,” “KFC,” and “KGB.” Calling him the wrong name was to become a trend for Jake Paul, Logan Paul, and their dad, Greg Paul. At the time of his video on Sunday, KSI had 17.6 million subscribers, compared to Jake Paul’s 13.5 million and Logan Paul’s 16.4 million (as of this writing, KSI has 17.9 million subscribers, compared to Jake Paul’s 13.6 million and Logan Paul’s 16.6 million). It was a bit of a stretch for Jake Paul to claim KSI is irrelevant or somehow beneath his attention. Either way, Paul offered up his father in a mixed martial arts match and said he’d pay KSI a $50,000 purse. KSI’s response?
Monday, Feb. 5: With the Paul brothers already involved, KSI’s younger brother, a vlogger named ComedyShortsGamer, posted his own video, repeatedly calling Jake Paul “a pussy” and a “bitch.” The video is boring and vile, but at least it’s relatively brief. Tuesday, Feb. 6: Jake Paul responded to KSI’s brother and said that there should be two fights: Logan Paul vs. KSI and Jake Paul vs. ComedyShortsGamer. Paul also got into body-shaming, making fun of ComedyShortsGamer’s “man-boobs.” (A few days later, KSI told Paul to leave his brother out of the equation, and Paul responded by demanding that ComedyShortsGamer stop talking.) Jake Paul also continued with his irrelevant theme, saying, “I literally didn’t know who these kids were two or three days ago.” But he offered KSI a place to stay in Los Angeles so he doesn’t have to pay for a hotel, and he said he’ll buy KSI’s plane tickets for the match. Paul also laid down the terms of the fight, a fight he said that will have to take place in an MMA Octagon. Jake Paul/YouTube (Fair Use) Wednesday, Feb. 7: KSI responded on video, and he cracked a few memorable one-liners. “I’m sorry,” he said, “but I’m not going to fight your creepy Vin-Diesel-on-crack looking-ass dad.” And, “These guys are 100 percent the most cringe people I’ve ever watched.” KSI asked how he can be irrelevant if Paul is talking about him, is including his name in Paul’s video titles, and is using KSI’s face in his thumbnails. He also wondered how Paul can call him irrelevant when Paul follows him on Twitter. KSI said he’s not going to kowtow to Paul’s terms. “So, Jake,” KSI said, “Fuck your terms. I’m the one with the belt. I’m the A-side. I’m the one who proves I can fight on a global stage.” He also unleashed the best line of the entire feud. “Jake, everyone already knows in a boxing match, I would beat the shit out of you. Then I’d catch Logan click-baiting your unconscious body for views because that’s what he’s good at.” Thursday, Feb. 8: In yet another post, Jake Paul said he wants to do nothing but spread positivity and said he isn’t sure how this beef got so out of control. But he also claimed that if they don’t fight using MMA rules, he’s not going to partake. “You’re making this really hard, man,” Paul said. “The internet wants this.” Yes, Paul admitted, he follows KSI on Twitter, but he barely remembered why. “I followed you so long ago when you were relevant,” Paul said. “Then, you became irrelevant, and I forgot who you were.” Paul even tracked down famed ring announcer Michael Buffer, and Buffer said he would play master of ceremonies for the event (Buffer also referred to KSI as “CSI”). Paul laid out his new terms—he’ll forgo the $250,000 bet and the merchandise clause, but he insisted on an MMA fight at a neutral location.

So, what’s next? Will the two actually fight? At this point, it’s unclear. But it’s worth keeping in mind that KSI’s fight vs. Weller sold out a 7,500-seat arena and recorded more than 22 million combined views across both vloggers’ YouTube channels. A fight vs. Jake Paul could probably sell twice as many tickets and earn millions of more pageviews. And earn both YouTubers enormous paydays, which is probably why this feud started in the first place. If there’s money to be made in a fight like this—and there most assuredly is—there’s a solid chance it could actually happen. Until then, it’s nothing but talk.
