We don’t normally advocate replacing all your meals with shakes but…sometimes you just need something in a pinch. Something you can grab as you run out the door or after a workout to quell the hunger until the next meal. Something you can store in your bag as a snack easily grabbed anywhere you are. Enter Soylent.
Located in Tain, Scotland, Glenmorangie is a Highland Distillery that boasts distinction of having the tallest stills in Scotland - standing more than 26 feet tall, and lending a sweeter, lighter flavor to the whisky they produce. The Glenmorangie distillery goes all the way back to 1843, and for years, the 16 Men Of Tain, as they were called, distilled single malt whisky around the clock.
Drip coffee makers are often seen as the bottom-rung of coffee makers. They are just cheap, easy ways to make coffee at home in the most hands-off way possible, and the brew they do produce is regarded as…weak. Subpar. But hold on. The Technivorm Moccamaster is here to change your opinion about drip coffee makers.

We’ve reviewed our fair share of portable coolers for camping and chilling down by the river. But we’ve yet to come across any as awesome and heavy-duty as these powered coolers from Dometic. (Dometic Fridges were formerly known as Waeco fridges, so you might see that name tossed about).
For the first time in 17 years, Yuengling – the oldest brewery in America – is releasing a beer that will be sold year-round and isn’t just seasonal. Yuengling Golden Pilsner is, as the name implies, a pilsner that is both thoroughly modern and reliably old-fashioned – like Yuengling itself.
