Created by Brooklyn-based Wander Workshop, the Leverage Bottle Opener is a reinterpretation of the classic,

ubiquitous wall-mounted bottle openers

. The company launched (and subsequently successfully funded) their Kickstarter in February 2017.

Proudly made in the USA, the openers are cast in solid brass and sealed to protect the finish and minimize discoloration. You can choose from two different finishes—satin brass or blackened brass. With each opener, you also get drywall plugs and brass mounting screws, so you don’t have to worry about not having the right gear.

What really gets us about these bottle openers is the design. The lines are clean and there is little to no wasted space in the geometric design. They are almost art deco in styling, and it’s easy to imagine Jay Gatsby (the Leo DiCaprio version) having one or four ready to go for his parties.

If you don’t have the space for a wall-mounted bottle opener, Leverage has also created a handheld version. Either way, the openers are designed not to bend the cap, so if you are a collector looking to finish your bar top/beer pong table, this is the opener for you.

The Leverage Key Hook will retail for $35, the Leverage Handheld Bottle Opener will be $50, and the wall-mounted opener will sell for $65. Orders are estimated to be shipped in June 2017. As an added bonus, for you philanthropists out there, a portion of all proceeds are donated to charity partners that fight hunger and provide clean drinking water.

Bad news for beer lovers: A new study says climate change is ruining your favorite drink

Enjoy those IPAs while you can

Beer Pint

Enjoy that IPA or pilsner while you still can because, thanks to climate change, it might taste a little different (or not be available at all) in the future. That’s because, according to a new study, there’s a steady decline in the quantity of European hops being grown. For those unaware, hops are what give your favorite beer its floral, bitter flavor profile. Without them, beer would be a barley-centric, mostly flavorless mess.

That’s right; climate change is affecting more than just the polar ice caps, droughts, storms, and rising sea levels. It’s going to affect how your beer tastes, and it might soon affect how much it costs.

Spaghetti squash: Your new favorite low-carb fall vegetable swap

You might have the wrong idea about spaghetti squash — let us help

Spaghetti squash in a pile

Named spaghetti squash for its spaghetti-like texture, spaghetti squash is a vegetable that offers tons of health benefits, yet many people often forget about it. As you walk through the grocery store, do you tend to gravitate toward the same vegetables every time?

Veggies such as broccoli or spinach are "go-to" vegetables for many shoppers, especially since they require minimal effort to cook. But don't shy away from cooking spaghetti squash -- a veggie that is simple to cook, that tastes delicious, and is high in nutrients.

This tart twist on the Aperol spritz will be your favorite new cocktail — and we’ve got an amazing recipe

Aperol spritz alternative: Meet the rhubarb spritz

Sprtiz

If you live under a proverbial rock, don’t spend your days on social media, or simply aren’t up to date on the trending cocktails du jour, you might not know that the Aperol spritz is going through a renaissance right now. First created for Venetian palates back in 1920, this more than 100-year-old aperitif (before-dinner drink) is commonly made with prosecco (Italian sparking wine), Aperol (an herbal, Italian digestive liqueur), and soda water. While always popular in Italy, it’s become one of the most popular before-dinner, afternoon, or anytime cocktails of the last few years.

But while the classic recipe is an outstanding, refreshing, bittersweet way to whet your appetite before a nice lunch, dinner, or evening snack, it’s the kind of versatile mixed drink that shines even brighter when its ingredients are mixed and matched and even switched out for other complementary flavors. Today, we’re specifically talking about the addition of rhubarb. Who doesn’t love more rhubarb recipes, right?
All about rhubarb
If you didn’t know it already, rhubarb is the meaty, fleshy stalk of another plant called Rheum. Cooked, it’s used as an ingredient in pies and other recipes. It’s known for its almost celery-like consistency and flavors of tart, acidic citrus peels, and a light sourness. If you haven’t guessed it already, these flavors are perfect for a refreshing, crisp, easy-drinking cocktail. It’s a way to easily update your spritz recipes.
