It seems you always have some extra nails and bolts left each time you assemble new furniture, right? This means you're not following the instructions correctly. Don't just go skip to the last steps! For your own safety.

Be wary this season. There’s no telling what the night breeze might bring in through the window.

If misfortune has you in its sights, you might be receiving a surprise visit from a rather grim, dark figure that you’ll find paws deep into your fruit cupboard.

Cows can’t climb as well as mountain goats, that’s for sure. They’re animals of a different... caliber.

But they’re more versatile in playing main characters for chocolate ads, it seems.

Not even breaking a sweat, maybe not even invested that much in the product.

Which stands to show that you don’t need much to get to the very top. Just the right altitude and maybe a permanently higher-than-thou moooooood.

Higher Peaks

Ingredients: water, malted barley, malted wheat, strawberry puree, basil, hops, yeast.

How did this happen?

We're all either colorblind, or severely bad drivers.

We went over strawberry fields, crossed roads full of basil, and got stuck smack dab in the middle of Sour Ale Boulevard.

Next time we're over - please hide away the toy cars.

It looks like someone's been abusing the Windows 95 interface a bit too much lately, turning it into a digital mess of neon-pink glitches and ripped-out '90s websites from the start of the Internet.

How did '80s anime get involved in that, too? Beats us. Not to mention Arizona iced tea.

Must be an aesthetic thing.

Future Funk

Water, Grains (Heidelberg, Wheat malt), Hops, Extra (Apricot puree, Earl Grey tea, Kaffir leaves), Yeast (Philly Sour, LA III)

The Ice Tea Age cometh!

And it's not gonna be peachy at all. (Well, obviously.)

Expect sharp gusts of bergamot-riddled face-numbing winds and a cannonade of icey-frosted lime leaves—all meant to crack teeth and scrape cheeks.

There's zero chill here, ironically. We're looking waaay sub-zero.

Serve it on the rocks.

Flash Freeze

Water, Grains (Heidelberg, Chit malt, Rice flakes), Hops (Simcoe, Southern Cross, Motueka, Citra), Yeast (WLP850)

It feels just right to listen to your feelings and act upon them, especially if they've been pent up and riddled with frustrations. After all, who could be a more reliable advisor than yourself?

Especially if the words bouncing around in your thinkbox are surprisingly... shouty and sinister. Not to mention the
ceaseless sadistic laughter in the background. That's a clear tell that you are absolutely right.

They all just had it coming for a very long time, and it's about damn time somebody put them in their place - ahahahaha!

At least that's what you think you should say.
