Carton Brewing x Barrier Brewing SS C.R.E.A.M.

Carton Brewing knows a thing or two about cream ales, and Barrier Brewing has hoppy beers down to a science. So when they decided to get together to brew a collaboration beer, it only seemed natural to marry the two. The resulting ale is called SS C.R.E.A.M., and it is a Hoppy Imperial Cream Ale. The name and can design were inspired by the one and only Wu-Tang Clan, with touches like a banner in the background that reads “Bring Da Ruckus.” It will be available later this year in 16-ounce cans.

Fluance Fi70

The latest release in Fluance’s Fi line of speakers is the Fi70. The speaker is an all-in-one unit, with dual eight-inch subwoofers, five-inch woven glass fiber midrange drivers and one-inch neodymium tweeters.

Johnston & Murphy Karnes

Walking around in the slush and muck requires a certain type of boot, one that will keep your foot dry while still staying stylish. Johnston & Murphy’s Karnes is the perfect combination of winter performance and style.

Kelty Versant Backpack

The backpack version of Kelty’s new Versant line is 25 liters in size, has a ventilated back panel, is constructed from water-resistant fabric and has a built-in laptop pocket that allows you to access your Macbook without digging into the main compartment.

Dynafit Beast Hoodie

Available in winter of 2016/17, the new Beast Hoodie from Dynafit features a hybrid fleece construction packed with Polartec Alpha insulation.

Rock & Pebble H Block Set

Sometimes adults need to play with building blocks too. With Rock & Pebble’s H Block set, you can feel free to leave them out on the table as a stylish centerpiece.
