You've been drinking beer wrong and it's likely you've been doing it for years
Beer lovers, this one's for you. If you've been drinking beer all your life, you'll be surprised to find out you've probably been doing it wrong - according to an expert
As the sun shines, many Brits flock to beer gardens for a refreshing pint with mates, but it turns out we might be enjoying our brews all wrong. From guzzling too quickly to choosing the incorrect glass, there are several faux pas you're likely committing when it comes to your pint.
Grace Daley, Cruzcampo's UK senior brand manager, has revealed that a traditional pint glass might not be the best choice for your beer, which could shock many die-hard ale experts. Grace shared insights on why Cruzcampo is often served in a chalice to keep the beer "remains cold" and maintain the "lively" effervescence, as opposed to a standard pint glass.
Grace advises beer enthusiasts to sip their drink "slowly", engaging "all your senses" to transform each gulp into an experience rather than hastily consuming without appreciation.
For those aiming to impress as a "real expert", she suggests letting the flavour "glide over your tongue from front to back".
Moreover, Grace warned against storing beer in the freezer or exposing it to direct sunlight, as these conditions can adversely affect the beer's taste.
Beer isn't just for toasting; it can complement a fine meal as well. Forget what you know about wine pairings - beer has entered the chat, and according to one enthusiast, Cruzcampo is best enjoyed alongside tapas, because "the crisp, malty and slightly sweet taste, with a hint of bitterness cuts through rich, full-flavoured tapas".
But that's not all - the way we've been drinking wine could be all muddled up too. Heather Muriello, a savvy New York-based booze expert, shared her wisdom on Instagram to her 10k fans, promising to elevate everyone's wine skills, especially when entertaining.
She suggested in her post on her @winefarer page: "Have you heard of the 20/20 rule for wine?" She goes on to reveal the insider tip: "Learn this game-changing 20/20 rule in wine.
Chill your reds in the fridge 20 minutes before serving to unleash their complex flavours, while letting whites rest out of the fridge for 20 minutes to reveal their full bouquet and bright acidity."

Kelly Bensimon appears to take brutal swipe at ex-fiance while gushing over new man she met on Hinge
Kelly Bensimon has opened up about the new man in her life—and appeared to throw a thinly veiled jab at her ex-fiancé, nearly a year after calling off their wedding. The former Real Housewives of New York star, 57, who was spotted packing on the PDA with Connecticut businessman Robert Flood during a recent date night in NYC, shared fresh details about the budding romance with Us Weekly. 'It's early days,' she told the outlet. But while gushing over Flood, Bensimon seemed to take subtle swipes at her ex Scott Litner, whom she abruptly split from just days before their scheduled June 2024 ceremony. 'He's a very, very nice human. Clearly, an adult. Well-educated. Well-mannered. Does very well for himself. Good father. He's a man,' she said of Flood. Bensimon revealed she met her new flame on the dating app Hinge, saying she was drawn to his 'authentic' profile photo—marking a departure from her previous stint on the celeb-heavy app Raya.

But while gushing over her new man, Bensimon seemed to take subtle swipes at her ex Scott Litner, whom she abruptly split from just days before their scheduled June 2024 ceremony; seen in NYC in October 2023 'I've been on Raya for a long time,' she said. 'I think that one of the things that's really important when you're going on a dating app is to really present your own self… I was like, 'Oh, my God,' I found this one picture of [Flood] sitting there, white jeans on, these shoes, blue shirt on, and I was like, 'He looks like a guy I went to college with.'' Bensimon, who called of her wedding to former fiancé Scott Litner just days before their June 2024 ceremony said she's taking everything one day at a time. 'I definitely feel like it's much better this time because I am slowly easing into it,' she explained. 'I feel really healthy and I feel really good about the decisions that I'm making in my life and who knows what's going to happen in my future, but I'm just grateful for how I'm treating every day.' The real estate mogul, who shares two daughters Sea, 27, and Teddy, 24 - with ex-husband Gilles Bensimon, said Flood hasn't yet met her girls. 'When they're ready to meet him, they will definitely let me know,' she stated. The influencer said she isn't worried about her fame getting in the way of a future relationship. 'Do not ask your significant other if they cared about being in the public eye,' the model asserted, adding, 'And if you're asking them that question, they're not someone that you should be with.' Flood is apparently used to being on the edge of fame. A source told Page Six that the Managing Director of Truist Securities has previously dated podcast host Rachel Uchitel. Bensimon is comfortable with standing her own ground, claiming she called off the wedding to Litner because he refused to sign a prenup. In a statement to Page Six at the time, she expressed: 'I have decided that my two daughters are my priority and I won't be moving forward with this wedding.' Bensimon had also told People, 'Ultimately, my decision is nobody's business, but I understand that there is speculation and gossip, and I want to put an end to all of it. 'To be clear, he refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, and I refused to marry him. Full stop.' An accompanying statement also read: 'She was looking forward to an exciting new chapter in her life together with Scott when everything became clear to her late on Tuesday afternoon. '[He] refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, effectively stalling their engagement mere days before the wedding.' Bensimon further explained, 'He thought that I would enter this union without legal protections in place, that I would leave everything to faith. 'But I've worked really, really, hard as a single mother and have always made smart decisions for myself and my family, and that will continue.' The following month in July, Kelly also informed 'I'm obviously extremely disappointed, but it's not something that just happened. This is something that was building up over time and the prenup was a big deal for me. 'It's like when you're a single parent, whether you have thousands in your account or you have a 100 million in your account, women are going to need to protect themselves, and I'm just not going to take a risk.' She also talked about how her circumstance has 'opened a lot of doors' when it comes to having conversations about prenuptial agreements. 'It's about having personal respect and value, which I have. I'm raising two girls, who are really important to me. 'But the prenup is really important because it talks about more than just your own personal value,' Bensimon added. 'I guess the biggest takeaway from this is just about protecting myself and my friends and being a solid female that people can come to.' Kelly expressed, 'I've had so many people reach out to me and say, This happened to me…I just have so much empathy for them, and I try to be a solid sounding board for them...' Only two months after not going through with the wedding, the media personality had revealed to Page Six that she was stepping back into the dating scene. 'I'm not in a relationship. I am…happy to move forward with new possibilities... [I'm] having fun dating.'

Francisco Lindor (2 homers) leads Mets over Rockies
May 31 - Francisco Lindor hit two homers while David Peterson continued his strong season by tossing 5 2/3 solid innings and earning the win Friday night, when the host New York Mets beat the reeling Colorado Rockies 4-2 in the opener of a three-game series. Starling Marte also homered while the slumping Juan Soto went 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Mets, who have won six of eight. Ryan McMahon laced an RBI double and Sam Hilliard hit a pinch-hit homer in his first big league at-bat of the season for the Rockies, who lost their sixth straight to drop to 9-48 -- the worst 57-game start in modern baseball history. Lindor, who entered the game with just eight hits in his last 51 at-bats dating back to May 14, hit a leadoff homer while batting right-handed against left-hander Kyle Freeland (0-8) and provided insurance with a round-tripper from the left side against right-hander Seth Halvorsen to open the eighth. The leadoff homer was the fifth of the season for Lindor while the two-homer game was his second of the season and the 21st of his career. Lindor also singled in the third and scored on Soto's two-out double. The hit snapped an 0-for-17 skid for Soto dating back to Sunday night. Peterson (4-2) allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out five over 5 2/3 innings. The left-hander, who was raised in Colorado, has allowed three runs or fewer in 10 of his 11 starts this season Peterson wriggled out of a bases-loaded jam in the second by retiring Thairo Estrada on a liner to a leaping Lindor at shortstop. That began a stretch of nine consecutive batters retired by Peterson, who exited after plunking Estrada, surrendering a single to Brenton Doyle and giving up McMahon's double in a three-pitch span. Huascar Brazoban gave up one hit -- Hilliard's homer -- over 1 1/3 innings before Reed Garrett threw a perfect eighth. Edwin Diaz struck out all three batters in the ninth to earn his 12th save. Doyle had two hits for the Rockies. Freeland gave up three runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out four over six innings. --Field Level Media
