Forget Travis Kelce and Taylor. This season, it’s all about his brother Jason and his burgeoning beer brand otherwise known as Garage Beer. The low-calorie beer brand is getting into the holiday spirit in retro fashion.

The seven-inch record is available this Friday and features an encore to the brand’s initial O’Beer release. It features cool cover artwork and is even produced by Charlie Hall of The War on Drugs. In addition to a holiday track, the record features a reading by Jason Kelce himself.

“The vinyl just adds to the nostalgia of the season. Making the video was fun – we’re glad people can turn that on and enjoy it on a screen, but it’s super cool to have something physical that you can put on the turntable and enjoy with friends and family,” says Kelce.

Just 100 records will be available via this limited run. Included with the recording is some custom art as well. It’s Garage Beer’s way of getting folks together for a cold one and community.

As part of the content-gathering process, Kelce traveled to Dublin in September. He visited with famed storyteller Eddie Lenihan and soaked up the nation’s esteemed pub culture. Now, he’s hoping to offer a slice of that back in the states.

Garage Beer is a relative newcomer to the American beer landscape. The company specializes in light lager style beers, specifically a traditional offering and a lime version. The Ohio-based operation is supported significantly by NFL stars and siblings Jason and Travis Kelce.

These are my favorite beers from Vermont that you should give a try

Vermont is home to more than Ben & Jerry

Lawson's Finest

There are about 9,000 breweries in the US. While places like California, Maine, Colorado, and Oregon are famous for beer, no state is more saturated with IPAs, lagers, and stouts than Vermont.

If you didn’t know it, Vermont is much more than the state that brought us Ben & Jerry. The New England state is arguably America’s beer capital. While it doesn’t have the population of some of the other beer centers, it’s number one per capita, with more than 74 breweries. That’s between 14.5 and 15 breweries per 100,000 people. This includes iconic breweries like The Alchemist, Foam, Lawson’s Finest Liquids, Zero Gravity, and the renowned Hill Farmstead Brewery.

The Best Restaurant in New York for Catching Up with an Old Friend

Date restaurants have one set of criteria; restaurants for catching up with your buddies have another.

Food, Food Presentation, Plate

Finding a restaurant in New York City for a proper catch-up with a buddy is deceptively tricky. When I was single, I kept a tried-and-true roster of date restaurants. The criteria were straightforward enough: soft lighting, ideally the glow of candlelight; a serene ambience, perhaps with a little jazz; and plush, private seating for lingering conversation—or a smooch after dessert.

But what about dinner with my cousin Billy? I was less than eager to spend the evening feeling like I was on a Hinge date with him—a sentiment I suspect was mutual. Sure, I could have picked a dive bar, but we're both in our mid-thirties now and striving to feign respectability. Besides, Bill draws a fat salary at Amazon, and I knew he'd feel obliged to pick up the tab for his freelance writer cousin. Why squander such generosity on chicken wings and Guinness?

The bottles of bourbon you should always have on your bar cart

Stock your home bar with these balanced bourbons

Bourbon bottle

Other than the designated hitter, apple pie, and ranch dressing, there are few things more uniquely American than bourbon whiskey. While there are a variety of rules, to be considered bourbon whiskey, it must be made from at least 51% corn (with many having a much higher percentage) and be made in the US (including Puerto Rico and DC). Regardless of what a whiskey purist might tell you, it doesn’t need to be produced in Kentucky (although more than 90% of it still is made in the Bluegrass State). That said, if you’re new to this type of whiskey, you need to start somewhere. Lucky for you, I’m here to help.

If you were to magically rewind my life about two decades, I would easily have been able to refer to myself as a bourbon beginner. Back then, I had only sampled a few whiskeys (mostly in cocktails) and couldn’t tell the difference between Johnnie Walker and Jim Beam. Over the years (and with a ton of writing, researching, and sampling), I’ve learned that not only are there major differences between Scotch, bourbon, and other whisk(e)ys, but also that there are a handful of bourbon whiskeys that everyone should stock on their home bar at all times.
