Inspiration through Outdoor Education with Cottonwood Institute
1/26/2023
Spending time in nature through outdoor education and adventures are brilliant ways to create success in a technologically advanced world. We realize that this statement is highly ironic. However, the more we connect to natural places and build relationships with the natural world, the better we are able to handle all the s**t the "real world" throws at us.

Gettin' Punky With BrewDog's Martin Dickie
12/20/2022
BrewDog was founded in Scotland in 2007 by two friends, Martin Dickie and James Watt. From the beginning their "punk" attitude has had a tremendous impact on the company, their beers, and their followers, us included.

Cartridge Brewing: One for the History Books
10/13/2022
Have you ever rounded a corner and then stopped dead in your tracks? That's almost what we did when driving to Cartridge Brewing in Maineville, just outside of Cincinnati, Ohio. Located in an old munitions factory, the twisty road leading to Cartridge is one for the books, but when you round that final turn and your eyes rest upon two magnificent spires towering above this massive once-bustling-now-refurbished factory, yeah - it's a sight to behold. Especially when it houses a brewery.

Learn Why Good Beer Matters: A Passion & Purpose
9/21/2022
Good beer matters. At least we think so. Actually a lot of people think so, but why? And why should we learn about why good beer matters? Because beer is about more than just the beer. It's about talking across the aisles, listening to opinions, learning how to take criticism, and learning all along the way. Wait? Are we talking about beer or life? Both. And that is exactly what matters to Jeremy Storton.

Covertly Cultivating Unique Craft Beer in Sioux Falls
9/9/2022
The Sioux Falls craft beer scene forever changed when Stacey and Dan arrived into town for some covert operations - Covert Artisan Ales & Cellars, that is. This unique brewery in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is beginning to take root in this up and coming midwestern craft beer location.

The Sioux Falls Craft Beer Scene: Sever Your Ties in Sioux Falls, South Dakota
8/14/2022
Sever your ties in South Dakota, just don't sever them from South Dakota. With 44 craft breweries and counting, and several of them located in the southeast corner of the state, the Sioux Falls craft beer scene may just need to be your next craft beer destination. So, sever your ties with the idea that South Dakota isn't about the beer. With Severance Beer Company on the scene, it's most definitely about the beer. And the people, too.

Brain Tumor Pushes Full-time Sailing Dream Aground

It all started with a hot springs swim beach in New Zealand and a headache like none he had ever had before, a full-time sailing dream put on hold, maybe to never happen again. Boats run aground more often than we all might think. Then there are other things that run aground symbolically. Things like engine problems causing you to be stuck in a marina for two months. Things like high winds causing 13 foot high waves resulting in a call to the Coast Guard.
Full-time sailing can do that to...
