The idea is the ideal outfit to where to blend into the surroundings of your garage. Natural Light is offering up three different options, aptly-named The Gearhead, The Lawn Warrior, and the Tinkerer. Each getup blends in with the surroundings, offering patterns of tools like hardware, push mowers, and spare parts.

Natural Light dropped the trio of Garageflage today. It comes just in time for the festive season, which can often inspire the need for a few minutes on your own, away from the madness. And what better place than the comfort of your own garage, with a cold one.

Now, there are a number of ways to deal with holiday stress. Personal time is right up there, along with meditation, a long stroll, a crisp lager beer, or even a nice non-alcoholic brew. The Garageflage outfits could double as nice Halloween costumes for next year as well.

The outfit might be tough to get away with at the holiday dinner table but it works just fine in the garage. If light beer is not your thing, try one of our favorite holiday beers. There are a lot of beer drops this time of year, both in the big beer and craft beer sectors.

Natural Light, or Natty, is a low-cal beer brewed by Anheuser-Busch. It’s been around since 1977 and comes in at a modest 4.2% ABV. The beer is ever recognizable thanks to its longstanding blue logo.

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.
