Breckenridge Brewery embraces spring early with new beer
A forward-looking citrus IPA
Breckenridge Brewery Spring Forward Grapefruit IPA.

Early is almost always better than late when it comes to imagining spring. While we're hunkering down in the core of winter, it's hard not to think about budding flowers and seasonal cocktail recipes. Breckenridge Brewery is following suit, having just released a beer that celebrates all things spring.

So while it may still be dark during dinnertime, we can at least sip on a Spring Forward Grapefruit IPA and contemplate longer, milder days ahead. The zesty beer comes in at a reasonable 6.5% ABV with 50 IBUs. It pours a striking copper-mandarin hue and offers the classic bittersweet notes of grapefruit. Fittingly, the packaging is vibrant and floral, practically jumping off the shelves.

Double the caffeine of Coffee+
Everyday Dose Bold Coffee+

Popular alternative mushroom coffee brand Everyday Dose has launched a new product just in time to help you adopt New Year's habits. The brand's latest launch, Bold Coffee+, offers a healthier coffee for those craving an extra kick. As a twist on the regular Coffee+ product, Bold Coffee+ provides more caffeine per serving while delivering the same gut-friendly, low-acid experience. Everyday Dose Coffee+ contains 45 mg of caffeine per serving, but the new Bold Coffee+ contains 95 milligrams per serving (the same as a standard eight-ounce cup of coffee).
Each serving is packed with functional ingredients like Lion’s Mane for focus, Chaga for immunity, L-theanine for calm, and collagen for skin and joint health -- each of which can help support your New Year's health goals. It’s clean, keto-friendly, and free from fillers like oat or dairy. Ideal for biohackers and busy mornings, Bold Coffee+ combines a rich, full-bodied flavor with purpose-driven benefits to help you stay productive without the crash or jitters. Bold Coffee+ can be purchased directly from the brand's site and is priced at $36 for 30 servings.
Here’s why Bold Coffee+ can elevate your morning coffee routine:

Bolder taste: A blend of medium and dark roast Arabica coffee extract
More caffeine: 90mg per serving for sustained energy, minus the jitters
Functional benefits: Brain-boosting Lion’s Mane, immune-strengthening Chaga, calming L-theanine, and protein collagen for skin and joints
Gentle on digestion: Low-acid and mold-free (low-acid coffee is popular amongst coffee drinkers with GI conditions)
Quick & easy: Ready in under 30 seconds, no coffee machine required
