Distillery and bar to open in Raleigh's Seaboard Station
Raleigh restaurant and bar veterans are joining forces to bring a distillery and cocktail bar to the city's Seaboard Station development in the coming months.
Driving the news: Boatman Spirits Co. is slated to open in May as one of the largest tenants in the $500 million development.
What to expect: Boatman will use local grains and oak barrels to produce vodka, gin, single malt whiskey, rye whiskey, seasonal fruit brandies and arak, a traditional Mediterranean spirit, in its 3,000 square-foot distillery.
In addition to craft cocktails, beer and wine, Boatman will also serve a Mediterranean street food-inspired menu featuring items like a lamb kebab burger and za'atar-spiced chicken wings in its 4,000 square-foot restaurant and bar.
Zoom in: The team behind Boatman brings a wealth of restaurant and bar experience.
Zack Thomas, who will oversee the bar, has bartended at some of the region's most iconic spots: Crawford & Son, The Crunkleton, Foundation, Lawrence Barbecue and Killjoy.
Aaron Lambert, Boatman's director of operations, currently manages Transfer Food Hall and previously served as the general manager at Whiskey Kitchen.
Geremy Prichard, distiller and production manager, studied bioprocessing sciences from N.C. State University and trained as a winemaker in Napa Valley.
George Ghneim is a veterinarian, epidemiologist and owner of several vet hospitals in the Triangle who opened Riviera Mediterranean Resto & Lounge in downtown Raleigh in 2006.

The foreign markets soaring to record highs in 2025
Global markets have been outpacing US stocks (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) and growing at massive rates year-to-date in 2025. Yahoo Finance markets and data editor Jared Blikre — who also hosts the Stocks In Translation podcast — tracks a handful of foreign market ETFs for various countries, including Greece, Japan, Italy, Poland, and Israel. Twice a week, Stocks In Translation cuts through the market mayhem, noisy numbers and hyperbole to give you the information you need to make the right trade for your portfolio. You can find more episodes here, or watch on your favorite streaming service. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Catalysts here. The itinerary for global markets this year had been busy, but the S&P 500 has barely left the gate up a modest 2%. Meanwhile, several single-stock ETFs have already gone long haul, uh chalking up 30 and even 40 plus percent gains. And today, we're going to be we're going to see who's been filling up their passports with the juiciest returns. I'm Jared Blikre, host of Stocks in Translation. So let's take a look at the country leaderboard. Greece and Poland are at the top of our list. Each of these European countries are clocking in returns in the mid 40s. Austria and Spain are right behind at 40% each, with Italy in the mid 30s. Continuing down the list, Germany is right behind Italy with a 33% surge. Meanwhile, the UAE, Israel, and Japan are each posting respectable low double-digit gains this year. And in case you're wondering, these ETFs are all priced in US dollars, so these gains are also benefiting from the broad-based weakness in the US dollar this year. Another note, this list is not meant to be exhausted. Now, let's flip through some of the charts here. First, the record relay, as I'm calling it. Germany tagged a fresh record high last Thursday, followed Friday by Israel. And that's after Japan notched its own record earlier in the week. It's almost like global momentum is passing the baton. Now for the Mediterranean makeover, check out Greece. Like a Phoenix rising from the from the global financial crisis, as ashes, excuse me, Athens is back on investors' radar, flaunting the highest price in nearly a decade, though still down 25% from its 20 2014 high. And say hello to the periphery club. Med is back, with Spain and Italy joining the Greek resurgence. All three of these indices are up five 50% over the last two years. Shifting north, Poland and Austria are leading a Central European surge, with Poland up over 50% in the last two years and Austria just short of that. And don't forget about the United Arab Emirates to the east, just a hair from a fresh decade long high, as it's returning 25% plus over two years. Finally, let's take a look and zoom in on Austria's long awaited breakout, nearly two decades in the making. After the roller coaster ride along the global financial crisis, the country traded sideways for 17 years, finally breaking out of a trading range only a month ago. Bottom line for investors, yes, these returns are impressive, but is US exceptionalism really a thing of the past? Have the volatile tariff experiments, have those upped the uncertainty vibe too high? Or did the post liberation day market plunge clear the deck for the next US-led surge? If so, the last month of consolidation near near record highs in the S&P, that might just look like a layover by year end. And if not, we could just see some more sideways action that frustrates both the bulls and the bears. Only time is going to tell, but you cannot deny the bullish price action breaking out around the world this year.

America's Oldest Brewery, Yuengling, Announces Expansion
America has a love for beer that has been a part of the country's culture for centuries now. It's an industry that's growing, too, with the Brewers Association noting that in 2022, the number of breweries in America hit an all-time high of 9,552, including 2,035 microbreweries, 3,418 brewpubs, 3,838 taproom breweries and 261 regional craft breweries. Also in 2022, the number of U.S. breweries operating was 9,709, an increase from 9,384 in 2021. So, the beer industry is a big one. Now, America's oldest brewery is expanding into an area it's never been before in August. D. G. Yuengling & Son was founded in 1829 and is the oldest operating brewing company in the U.S. The story of Yuengling, the company describes, is "a tale of shared dreams, individual tenacity and an unwavering dedication to standards of quality." Yuengling continued, "Like many American stories it starts amid the dreams of countless young immigrants looking for opportunity and emerges from the strength and will of one family determined to build their legacy in a new country." Yuengling added, "The story of America's Oldest Brewery began when David G. Yuengling arrived from Wuerttemberg Germany to settle in the sleepy, coal-mining town of Pottsville, Pennsylvania." From there, the brewery has expanded over the years, with locations in Pennsylvania and Florida and beer available at select spots throughout the country. It's still a family-owned business. Now, Yuengling beer will be available in Michigan. Eastown Distributors shared news of the development, posting on Facebook on June 5 that Yuengling is "Coming to the D August 11, 2025," as in Detroit. The Motor City is one of the cities where Yuengling will be available, and a full roster of locations and release dates is forthcoming. Michigan beer drinkers responded to the news with excitement. "Awesome news way to go Eastown," one follower shared on the Facebook post. "Heck yea I can't wait great job," another Oldest Brewery, Yuengling, Announces Expansion first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 7, 2025 Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
