Ever go camping with a hankering for a strong, freshly brewed cup of coffee? The folks at Stumptown, the renowned coffee roasters with the location in Seattle, New York and Portland, and Poler, the outdoor gear people, have made it easy with the Stumptown x Poler Camp Coffee Brew Kit. All you have to do is be lucky enough to get your hands on one of these babies and you’ll be all set to brew a cup of coffee. In the kit you’ll find two enamel custom mugs, a custom nylon travel bag, a Porlex burr hand grinder, a bag of Holler Mountain Blend, a brew guide, instructions and an Aeropress brewer, filters and accessories, you’ll be all set.

Why did they decide to do this? According to Poler and Stumptown the collaboration came as “an effort to bring together all of our favorite Stumptown-approved, tried and true camp coffee brewing equipment, combined with Poler’s cool and affordable outdoor gear–all durable and portable enough to toss in a pack or the trunk of your car and gear you up to hit the dirt.”

All you have to do is boil a pot of water on the campfire, grind up those beans of Holler Mountain Blend, then place the grinds into the Aeropress brewer and pour the coffee into the mugs — and there you have it! Two freshly brewed cups of coffee in the great outdoors. We bet you’ll feel like you’re ready to conquer the world! Or well at least the camp trails. Or, if you’re stuck at home, you can use the Stumptown X Poler Camp Coffee Brew Kit to pretend you’re out on the mountains inside a tent.

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.
