In 2018, Anheuser-Busch InBev added a previously-indepenent company to their drinks portfolio. It’s a familiar story, especially to observers of the craft beer space. In this case, though, the company the drinks conglomerate purchased was in a different line of booze — specifically, it was the drinks retailer and publication Master of Malt. Now, at a time when AB InBev has divested itself of some of its beer subsidiaries, it’s also done the same to Master of Malt.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging.

As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
