Sometimes when you make your own cold brew, finding a container to put it in can be annoying, but the folks over at Grady’s came up with a clever idea. They packaged Grady’s Cold Brew Kit into a Pour & Store Pouch, so steeping a fresh batch of Grady’s cold brew just got a whole lot easier.

“Figuring out a way to brew the Bean Bags in their packaging was always a big goal for us,” said Grady Laird, the founder of Grady’s Cold Brew. “We had some messy experiments early on using our tins. Those puppies aren’t exactly 100% water-tight. You don’t have to sop up too many fridges before you know it’s time to move on. So that’s why we came up with the Pour & Store Pouch. It was the last component missing to make a full “just add water” Cold Brew Kit that can pretty much go anywhere.”

You don’t need any other equipment. All you have to do is throw a Grady’s Cold Brew Bean Bag, which is filled with coffee, spices and chicory, into the pouch, and pour water in to fill it up. Then, you stick it in the refrigerator overnight, and when you wake up in the morning, you’ll have fresh cold brew ready to go! The pouch carries 12 whole cups and the coffee lasts for two weeks, so you can have an ample amount for yourself every morning for over a week, keep everyone happy and caffeinated at the office, or you can host a bunch of your friends over for brunch. Save yourself all that money you spend on cold brew — if you compare it to purchasing a cup of iced coffee at Starbucks every morning, you’ll save $80 a month —  at your local café and get something nice.

“The Kit is self-contained—you need no other equipment, just water, to brew the perfect cup of iced coffee,” says Laird. “You can take the Kit camping, on a picnic, on a boat, or just to share in your office kitchen—and it’s the perfect gift for coffee lovers.”

How to make Frosé for a heat wave cool off
Your guide to making this staple summer drink
Bar Primi Frose

It's hot out there, people. And one of the absolute best ways to cool off is by way of a great frozen cocktail. So, let us introduce you to the pink wine-inspired Frosé, an ideal drink for the next heat wave.

But first, a little history. The Frosé was allegedly born at Bar Primi in NYC. The drink is very much as advertised, a rosé wine-centric frozen cocktail (hence, the name). The Italian joint's general manager, Justin Sievers, came up with the drink, treating guests to an ice-cold pink concoction that's all the better during the middle of summer.

Dry aged steak: Everything you need to know
Just like wine and cheese, steak just gets better with age.
Dry aged steak

 

If you're anything like us, one of your go-to happy places is likely a dark and moody gourmet steakhouse, complete with mustachio'd barkeeps and their impressive list of extravagant steak and bourbon pairings. If this is a scene that sounds familiar to you, you probably know a little something about dry-aged steaks. Until just recently, these incredible pieces of meat were only available in upscale steakhouses, very high-end grocers, and specialty butcheries. Thanks to the passage of time and whispers of praise, however, word eventually got out about how incredible dry-aged steaks are, and now they're much more widely accessible online and even at some mid-level grocery stores.

One of the OGs of the U.S. craft beer scene, Fat Tire, is teaming up with skateboard brand Vans to create new summer packaging for its beer and a range of merch including some branded Vans slip-ons. Known originally for its amber ale which has been reformulated (somewhat contentiously) over the years, Fat Tire is one of the important brands in craft beer history and has recently pushed for a more sustainable approach to its beer brewing.

The brand is partnering with Vans to use its iconic checkboard pattern, known as "Off the Wall" on cans of its ale for the summer. The merch collection being released alongside the limited edition packaging includes hats, shirts, a cooler, and most enticingly, a pair of slip-ons that have the Fat Tire logo and slogan on the back of the heel.
