Try This Now: White IPA

Beer trends often flare up and burn out before the general public even hears a whisper. Some oddities stick – color changing mountains and lime flavoring – but mostly they’re just for the real beer geeks. One trend bubbling up right now that we feel you should know about is the white IPA. Why do we dig it? Well, it takes the creamy sweetness of a good wheat beer and combines it with the hoppiness of an IPA. We’ll leave the bickering over whether or not it’s a true IPA to the hardcore beer crowd, and just tell you, it’s damn tasty. Here are some to get you started.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of

Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
