The beerified second cousin to the Bloody Mary is a drink for all hours of the day. Every beer is a cocktail waiting to happen. From the shandy to the radler to the lagerita, a crisp can of Kölsch or a longneck cerveza is the kickoff point for a universe of drinks. But the alcohol content of the beer in question matters not, and with all the wonderful options we have today for nonalcoholic beer, a lovely NA pilsner or lager might be just the thing to build a beautiful beer cocktail around.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. 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.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

As Jordan Hughes, or @highproofpreacher on TikTok, announced earlier this year: "2024 is the year of the batanga."
