Red Hare Barrel Aged Sour Whabbit Wheat is on the docket by the Marietta, Georgia based brewery.
Whabbit Wheat, an American wheat ale brewed with apricots and peaches, debuted as a seasonal release in spring of 2015. While the label makes no direct mention of the fruit, we are making an assumption.
Red Hare Barrel Aged Sour Whabbit Wheat is aged in Chardonnay barrels with both Brettanomyces yeast and Lactobacillus souring bacteria.
This will be the third offering in the brewery's Rare Hare Series. The brewery has not yet announced this beer.
Style: American Wild/Sour Ale (Wine Barrel Aged)
Availability: 16oz Cans
Release: TBA
5.5% ABV

Park Dong-hoon, now CEO of Renault Samsung Motors, was recently identified as a suspect in South Korea's investigation into the Volkswagen emissions-cheating scandal, according to […]

Going to Iceland? WOW air will soon service travelers from NYC
Icelandic low-fare carrier WOW air will enter the New York market in November, with service between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Reykjavik, Iceland.
The five-year-old airline currently flies between Iceland's capital and six North American cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Baltimore-Washington, Boston, Toronto, and Montreal. One-way flights between those cities and Reykjavik start at $99 (including taxes). The airline also flies to 23 European destinations from Reykjavik, including London, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Dublin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. One-way fares between US cities and Europe start at $149.
And no, these deals aren't too good to be true. They're real. But like all super-bargain fares touted by low-fare carriers, it takes flexibility and patience to nab the cheapest seats. Packing really light and toting your own food and water, among other measures, keeps costs down. So does timing.
For more on WOW air, see Jayne Clark's review of her flight from Baltimore-Washington to Reykjavik and onward to Bristol, UK, another new destination served by the rapidly expanding airline-live tomorrow at 10 am ET.

It's a well-known fact that Islamic State fighters enjoy using hardy Toyota pickups in their pursuit of cleansing the Middle East of people even slightly different from themselves, but they'll need to restock after last week. Recent Allied military advances, including a huge, weeks-long push that liberated the Iraqi city of Fallujah, have ISIS on […]

The seventh-annual Allianz Travel Insurance Vacation Confidence Index is out, and the numbers tell us something about the American travel psyche. Americans are projected to spend $89.9 billion on summer vacations in 2016, up from $85.5 billion in 2015. (Allianz defines a vacation as “a leisure trip of at least a week to a place that is 100 miles or more from home.”)
Still, some Americans are a little less sure that they'll go on vacation this summer. Thirty-four percent of Americans are not confident that they'll take a summer vacation this year, up three points from 2015's number. The four in ten (43%) that are confident they'll get a summer vacation in this year, meanwhile, marks a drop from 46% last year (the highest figure seen since 2010).
As for spending: The Vacation Confidence Index also revealed that the average American household that's at least somewhat confident it will take a vacation this summer will spend $1,798 on average-up roughly 11% from last year's average of $1,621.
Here are the findings as an infographic:

“With vacation spending up, travel insurance should be near the top of the trip planning checklist,” said Daniel Durazo, director of communications at Allianz Global Assistance.
