The Daily Dish: Denver Brewers Create Anti-Trump, 'Pussy Riot' Beer For Inauguration Day
Denver Brewers Create Anti-Trump, 'Pussy Riot' Beer for Inauguration Day
President-elect Donald Trump's controversial and sexist remarks, such as his vulgar comments about women from 2005, have awakened a feminist revolution in the United States. Six female brewers in Colorado have joined forces at Goldspot Brewing Company to create "Makin Noise: A Pussy Riot Beer" — named in honor of the provocative Russian female punk rock group — a bright red imperial saison aged on strawberry purée, to protest the Trump presidency on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, Westword reported. The flavor was chosen by co-creators of the brewing event — Kelissa Hieber, head brewer at Goldspot Brewing, and Bess Dougherty, fellow Denver brewer — because of the stereotypical association between women and fruity beers. "It will look like a delicate beer, but it will knock you on your ass," Dougherty told Westword. The purpose of this beer, according to a post from a private Facebook group, is to "combat the hate and oppression while also lending support and solidarity to the fight for equality."
Domino's Is Releasing the First-Ever Wipeable Onesie for Greasy Fingers
Domino's is releasing a pizza-patterned onesie made with a special stain-proof material for a limited time during 2017. The wipeable onesie comes with two giant pockets, presumably for you to store your breadsticks, sides, and sauces. Unfortunately, though, it's only available for Irish pizza fans at the Rathmines location of Domino's in Dublin, Ireland. If you're lucky enough to score one of these fashionable pajama sets, they're available for €25 ($26) and proceeds go to the charity Barrestown, a nonprofit based in Ireland for kids with cancer. They are also available at other Domino's locations throughout the UK for similar prices. We're hoping this pizza onesie thing catches on so Domino's can bring the wipeable onesie to America.
