Bell House

So I came across this cool place called Bell House in NY which host events such as “Beer Wars” which happens Monday, July 20th @ 8pm. The place looks really cool and creates a lot of positive energy.
What it’s like for American craft brewers in the land of Anheuser-Busch? That’s the focus of Beer Wars, a documentary by Anat Baron, former General Manager of Mike’s Hard Lemonade, who follows two small brewers, Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, the subject of a recent New Yorker profile, and Rhonda Kallman, one of the founders of Sam Adams, as they try to go head to head with the big guys. The film has its Brooklyn premiere at The Bell House during a very special edition of our monthly beer and cheese tasting sessions, Flight Club. After the film, sample four beers and Murray’s cheeses paired by brewmasters like Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery, who is featured in the film and will speak from his own experience about the state of American brewing. Tickets, which include the beer and cheese pairing, are just $20.
You can order tickets here.

My New Universal Mount Bike Rack
Posted by Sal | Filed under BMX / MTB / Skate, Gadgets, Need to Know Articles
To make a long story short I lost the key to my factory Audi carrier bars. As a result I couldn’t open the sides of my carrier bars to slide in any type of ski rack, bike rack, cargo bin, etc. It would have taken weeks to get the key made up in which Audi was still NOT guaranteeing and would have taken a call to Germany and 4-8 weeks. To avoid this headache altogether I even tried a locksmith with no success.
Then I found this great product from Yakima that fit my situation perfectly. Instead of having to slide the rack into the carrier bars(which I cannot, without the key), I was actually able to adjust their clamp on system to go around my larger carrier bars. Thank you Yakima Forklift! Also I can transfer this thing to just about any car. Good stuff.
