May 20, 2025
Scottish craft beer brand BrewDog is making its Middle East debut with the opening of its first bar in Dubai on Friday, May 23rd. Set on Bluewaters Island, the new venue brings the brand's signature blend of bold brews and laid-back dining to one of the city's fastest-growing lifestyle destinations.
The bar features 22 taps pouring BrewDog's most popular beers, including Punk IPA, Lost Lager, Elvis Juice, and Wingman. It will also serve a full food menu, staying true to the brand's global format of pairing craft beer with comfort food in an industrial-chic setting.
This launch kicks off BrewDog's broader UAE ambitions. The brand has partnered with Dubai-based Rise Hospitality and plans to open eight locations across the emirate within five years.
Located steps away from Ain Dubai, the world's tallest observation wheel, Bluewaters Island has become a magnet for international food and beverage concepts. BrewDog's arrival adds to the area's evolving identity as a nightlife and hospitality hub.
Founded in 2007 in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, BrewDog has built a global following with locations in cities like London, Berlin, Tokyo, and Las Vegas—with Dubai now joining the list.

Family, friends gather for balloon release to honor teens killed in Limerick Township crash
It was an emotional day for family and friends of the three teens who were killed in a crash Wednesday following a police chase in Limerick Township. Loved ones of Gabriel Cooper, 17, Nasir Youk, 17 and Siniyah Newsuan, 17, came together for a balloon release to honor their lives two days after their deaths. "We have to hold onto those beautiful memories," said Meelin Youk, Nasir's aunt. Over 100 people were in attendance for the balloon release in Spring City, where the kids grew up. Nasir Youk and Newsuan were rising juniors at Owen J. Roberts High School. Cooper was also a former student of the district. Their teachers and classmates were also present during the balloon release. In attendance was also Nasir Youk's mother, who is heartbroken over the loss. "This is just unbelievable," Angela Andrews, Nasir Youk's mother, said. "He was a good kid. He was a good kid. He was just living a full life as a kid would. This is unfortunate. I'm upset. I am extremely upset." Siniyah Newsuan, 17, [left], Nasir Youk, 17, [middle] and Gabriel Cooper, 17 [right]. CBS News Philadelphia. A 15-year-old boy was injured as well. Surveillance video captured the moment before the crash shows a car speeding down Ridge Pike with police not far behind. According to the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office, the teens were connected to a potential theft at a nearby Target. Nasir Youk's grandmother, Meejain Youk, believes her grandson should still be alive. "Why didn't you stop them at the door?" she said. "Why did you wait until they got in the car, and then the police had the license plate number. They did not have to pursue," she said. "The reason they ran is because they were afraid." Andrews said the family has yet to speak with police or the DA's office about what happened, but she hopes they can get answers soon. "The detectives or whoever was supposed to call me back never called me back," she said. CBS News Philadelphia reached out to the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office regarding the family's concerns about the police chase, but a spokesperson said the police couldn't comment because it's still an active investigation.

Novak Djokovic hints at retirement after French Open defeat to Jannik Sinner
Novak Djokovic may have played his final match at the French Open. The 24-time Grand Slam champion was hoping to extend his record at Roland Garros this weekend with a trip to the men's singles final, but he lost to Jannik Sinner in straight sets Friday. Djokovic, 38, appeared emotional as he collected his bags. He kissed his hand and touched the clay surface at Court Philippe-Chatrier. He then spoke about the match, signaling it may have been his last at the French Open. "I mean, this could have been the last match ever I played here, so I don't know. That's why I was a bit more emotional even in the end," he said. "But if this was the farewell match of the Roland-Garros for me in my career, it was a wonderful one in terms of the atmosphere and what I got from the crowd." Of the "Big Three," only Djokovic remains active — and dominant. AMERICAN TENNIS STAR JESSICA PEGULA SLAMS 'ABSOLUTELY CRAZY' COMMENTS AFTER LOSING FRENCH OPEN MATCH"Do I wish to play more? Yes, I do. But will I be able to play here in 12 months time? I don't know," he added. "I said it could have been my last match (here). I didn't say it was." Djokovic said he plans to compete at Wimbledon. Last year marked the first time in seven years the Serbian tennis pro failed to win a Grand Slam. His last win came in 2023 at the U.S. Open. His last win at Wimbledon was in 2022. "I feel like I want to play Wimbledon. I want to play U.S. Open. Those two, for sure. For the rest, I'm not so sure," he said.

Astros beat Guardians in Colton Gordon's 1st MLB win
June 7 - Christian Walker's two-run double highlighted a three-run fifth inning and Colton Gordon allowed one run over five innings for his first major league win in the Houston Astros' 4-2 road victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Friday night. Jeremy Pena extended his hitting streak to 12 games with his second consecutive three-hit contest and Brendan Rodgers clubbed his first homer of 2025 for the Astros, who have won nine of 12. In his fifth career start, Gordon (1-1) overcame seven hits allowed to yield just a fifth-inning run and struck out five without a walk in the opener of a three-game set. David Fry clubbed his first homer of the season for one of his two hits and Jose Ramirez extended his on-base streak to 32 games for the Guardians, who have dropped seven of 11. Logan Allen (3-4) threw four scoreless innings before he yielded all of Houston's runs in his final two frames, plus seven hits and two walks. In the first, Cleveland's Angel Martinez and Ramirez each were thrown out by Houston left fielder Mauricio Dubon trying to stretch a single into a double, which was a harbinger of the night for the Guardians. In the fifth, with two outs and two on, Houston's Jose Altuve grounded to deep third, where Ramirez made an off-the-mark throw to first that allowed a streaking Pena to score from second. Then Walker sent a flare into right field that Cleveland's Nolan Jones couldn't reach and dropped for a double that scored two to make it 3-0. The Guardians got on the board in the bottom of the fifth via three singles from Daniel Schneemann, Nolan Jones and Will Wilson - the latter of the RBI variety. However, Cleveland stranded a pair thanks to right fielder Jacob Melton's diving catch down the line to end the frame. Houston got the run back when Rodgers cleared the right-center field wall for his first hit since May 11. The Guardians again made it a two-run contest when Fry went deep to right field in his fifth game of the season after returning from elbow surgery. Houston's Josh Hader pitched a perfect ninth for his 17th save. --Field Level Media
