Denver brewery spoofs New Belgium’s Fat Tire with its own Re-Tired Amber Ale

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:24:33 GMT

You won’t see many amber ales on menus at craft beer bars these days, and very few people are clamoring for the latest amber when they head to the liquor store.But the lighter, malty style has been the backbone of the craft-beer industry – especially in Colorado – since the late ‘80s and early ‘90s when ambers were at the height of their popularity. So it was a somewhat undignified ending for one of the most famous ambers when Fort Collins-founded New Belgium Brewing revealed in January that its flagshipo Fat Tire would not longer look or taste the way it had since hitting the market in 1991 and inspiring a million knock-offs.Related: 8 Colorado-made amber ales to feed your Fat Tire cravingsAs a tribute to the Fat Tire, Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project in Denver released its own hoppy amber ale on Wednesday, pointedly called Re-Tired and featuring a similar bicycle on the label, along with the same colors and design elements of the New Belgium beer.More than 30 years after New Bel...

Kaiser Permanente workers are on strike. Here’s what makes it such a unique health care company

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:24:33 GMT

By Samantha Delouya | CNNLos Angeles  — On Wednesday, thousands of unionized health care employees walked off the job after failed contract negotiations with their employer, Kaiser Permanente, a company whose business model is distinctive, compared to most health care providers in the United States.Here’s what you should know about the medical system.RELATED: Striking Bay Area Kaiser workers seek higher wages, better staffingKaiser is funded by membership feesUnlike traditional health care providers in the United States, Kaiser operates both as an insurance plan and a provider of all care covered by that plan. Patients (or their employers) pay a membership fee to Kaiser Permanente to access its services. That means that although thousands of workers are on strike at Kaiser, the company will continue to collect money from membership fees.“They have members, they have subscribers and so they will continue to get their monthly payments,” said John August, former executive director of t...

Why the power of Barbie, Taylor and Beyonce should worry Trump

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:24:33 GMT

Diablo Valley College student Zhenaleigh Doldol isn’t sure how she’ll vote in her first election in 2024, but she’s inspired by the messages of female empowerment that radiated around her beloved summer movie “Barbie” and the blockbuster global concert tours of Taylor Swift and Beyonce.“This year has been such a pivotal point for women and women’s rights,” said Doldol, 19, of Pittsburg.During a break between classes, she and a friend, Christian Ebonia, 20, agreed that “Barbie,” Swift’s Eras tour and Beyonce’s Renaissance concerts have given American women an unexpected focus for their anger since the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs ruling ended the constitutional right to abortion: the ballot box.“That’s the thing with the ‘Barbie’ movie and these two famous women. (They) can influence a lot of younger people in getting out there to vote,” Doldol added.After “Barbie” opened in July, prominent feminist author Susan Faludi told the New York Times that this ost...

EV charging station experiences vary from surly to social: Roadshow

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:24:33 GMT

Q: I am responding to Jo Howard’s comments last week about EV charging station rudeness. We have had an electric car since 2018. I agree that there is chaos and rudeness around EV chargers. I see three types:1. ICEing: This is when an internal combustion engine (gas-powered) vehicle parks in an EV charging space, making it unavailable for EV drivers who need to charge. Sometimes it is done out of ignorance, sometimes out of malice. Most EV drivers have encountered this.2. Non-charging EVs: Most EVs notify you on a phone app when they are done charging. And lots of charging stations have posted time limits. Often, you encounter a fully charged EV that is still connected to a charger. Even worse, some EV drivers treat these spaces as “reserved parking” and don’t plug in at all.3. Line cutting: At busy chargers, a line often forms. Some people try to cut in line, which can result in heated arguments at times.Josh B.A: And…Q: You asked readers to share expe...

San Jose Sharks 23-man roster projection: Who’s trending up, and who is fading away?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:24:33 GMT

San Jose Sharks general manager Mike Grier mentioned in August after he brought back two forwards and a defenseman as part of the Erik Karlsson trade that there were still openings for some of the organization’s younger players to be a part of the NHL team’s 23-man roster.“I expect them to come in hungry and ready and if they perform and outplay the veteran guys, then they’ll get the opportunity and we’ll figure the rest out for sure,” Grier said then. “I don’t want to block anyone’s pathway.”Two months later, it’s fair to say two of the organization’s best prospects, forward William Eklund and defenseman Henry Thrun, have been outperforming some of their veteran teammates, and are looking to be with the Sharks when they open the regular season in a week’s time against the Vegas Golden Knights.It’s up to Grier, coach David Quinn, and other members of the Sharks’ hockey operations department to decide if Eklund and Thrun, and perhaps even center Thomas B...
