Reveals, New Launches and Gear
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.
