KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A popular brewery in the Kansas City metro announced it's closing on Facebook today, June 4.
Pathlight Brewing, located in Shawnee, Kansas, says that it's 'with heavy hearts' that the decision was made. The brewery hosted events of all natures from run clubs, to music bingo and sports watch parties since 2020.

Pathlight's mission was about more than just brewing exceptional beer – it was about creating an inclusive space where this craft could spark community connection,' the brewery wrote on Facebook.
'New friendships were forged as patrons and staff bonded over everything from barleywine to Formula 1. This was the vision, and Pathlight nailed it.'
However, the brewery did say that there will be a farewell party on the weekend of June 20, which is the fifth anniversary of Pathlight Brewing.

Lil Wayne Gets Earnest With Bono, and 9 More New Songs
Every Friday, pop critics for The New York Times weigh in on the week's most notable new tracks. Listen to the Playlist on Spotify here (or find our profile: nytimes) and at Apple Music here, and sign up for The Amplifier, a twice-weekly guide to new and old songs. Lil Wayne featuring Bono, 'The Days' 'I ain't gettin' younger, but I'm gettin' better,' Lil Wayne declares in 'The Days,' a rock anthem about survival and seizing the moment: 'If my days are numbered, treat every day like Day One.' None other than Bono shares the song, starting and ending it and singing about 'the days that tell you what life is for,' while the production emulates U2's grand marches. Elsewhere on his new album, 'Tha Carter VI,' Lil Wayne offers his usual punchlines and free associations; here, he's unabashedly earnest. Water From Your Eyes, 'Life Signs' The Brooklyn duo Water From Your Eyes revels in musical jump cuts and not-quite-sequiturs. 'I am coming apart / I'm becoming together, true to form,' Rachel Brown sings in 'Life Signs' from an album due in August. Nate Amos's guitars leap from wiry, hopscotching math-rock lines to brute-force distortion and back; Brown deadpans through monotone verses, but offers a wistful melody in the chorus. By the end of the song, somehow it all makes sense. Sabrina Carpenter, 'Manchild' Sabrina Carpenter lightheartedly and brutally dissects what might be called a himbo in 'Manchild.' In a track that starts as synth-pop and ends up as country-rock, she mock-appreciates how 'your brain just ain't there' with a guy who can't charge a phone, much less satisfy her. 'I like my men all incompetent,' she claims, barely suppressing a giggle. Addison Rae, 'Fame Is a Gun' Who could be better than Addison Rae, the TikTok sensation turned pop songwriter, to sing about craving attention, achieving the 'glamorous life' and dealing with all the parasocial fallout? 'I live for the appeal,' she sings, adding, 'It never was enough / I always wanted more.' Yet she also realizes, 'I'm your dream girl, but you're not my type.' The production cycles through its three chords with an insistent pulse that hints at the pressure to keep generating more content. Sudan Archives, 'Dead' Sudan Archives — the songwriter, violinist and producer Brittney Parks — powers through an identity crisis with the shape-shifting, maximalist, ultimately unstoppable track 'Dead.' She asks 'Where my old self at?' and 'Where my new self at?' and teases 'Did you miss me?' and 'Do you miss me?' In four minutes, the song morphs among quasi-orchestral string arrangements, spacey electronics and walloping dance beats, then merges them all in a triumphant closing stomp. Want all of The Times?

Lil Wayne Debuts At No. 1 With His First New Album In Half A Decade
Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI debuts at No. 1 on iTunes, with 'Sharks," featuring Big Sean and Jelly ... More Roll, emerging as a quick fan favorite tune. BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA - MAY 03: Lil Wayne performs onstage at Legacy Arena at the BJCC on May 03, 2025 in Birmingham, Alabama. (Photo by) Lil Wayne has returned! The superstar rapper is back with the sixth installment in his Tha Carter series, which has proved to be one of the most successful in hip-hop history. While he didn't promote the set via the traditional path with multiple early singles, it appears that Wayne's popularity may be enough to power him to another bestseller, as Americans have quickly responded to the release of Tha Carter VI and turned it into a chart-topper. Tha Carter VI currently rules the iTunes Top Albums chart in the United States. The full-length leads during a packed frame of exciting new releases, as this Friday (June 6), includes drops from stars across genres — but none of them can quite compete with Wayne at the moment. The biggest competition facing Tha Carter VI is not something new. In fact, it's an album that was released more than a quarter century ago. Millennium by Backstreet Boys bolts up the iTunes Top Albums ranking and currently lands in the runner-up spot. Wayne and Backstreet Boys push recent champions I'm the Problem by Morgan Wallen and Reputation by Taylor Swift down a few pegs, and they land at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. The top 10 on the iTunes Top Albums chart features half a dozen new arrivals as of the time of writing, with Tha Carter VI leading them all. Just a few spaces further down the list, new drops from Enhypen, Addison Rae, Marina, Turnstile, and Volbeat all manage to find space inside the uppermost region. None of them can compete with Wayne's first solo full-length since 2020's Funeral, which earned him another No. 1 on the Billboard 200. As Tha Carter VI gets going, one of its predecessors returns and becomes a bestseller again. Tha Carter III, which is widely regarded as the best of these half-dozen releases — and perhaps Wayne's most celebrated full-length — currently sits at No. 60 on the iTunes Top Albums chart. No major singles were pushed from Tha Carter VI before its release, but a favorite track has quickly been identified by fans. "Sharks," which features both Big Sean and Jelly Roll is the only tune by Wayne to appear on the iTunes Top Songs tally, and it's off to a fairly slow start. The track currently appears at No. 186, but it will likely rise in the coming hours and days. Tha Carter VI features 19 songs and a handful of somewhat surprising collaborations. While it's not shocking to see other hip-hop artists like 2 Chainz, Sean, and Kodak Black on the project, U2's Bono and even Andrea Bocelli are also officially credited. The Irish rocker lent his songwriting skills and voice to "The Days," while the Italian crooner appears in the background on "Maria," as he sings "Ave Maria" while Wyclef Jean and Wayne take turns performing.
