Bier Brewery's South Simcoe is an IPA for summer sipping
I am a big fan of IPAs, but I struggle with the typically high ABVs (6.5% or higher).
The intrigue: I have found the perfect, not-as-strong IPA that you can comfortably sip all summer.
And no, it's not a session IPA, which usually have lower ABVs but (in my opinion) often aren't as good.
Brew of the week: Bier Brewery's South Simcoe, a hazy American IPA with 5% ABV and 40 IBU.
Bier describes South Simcoe as having "a juicy mango and pineapple finish."
My take: It has a lightly fruity taste, but neither of those flavors are overpowering.
If a hazy IPA is not your thing, I also recommend the Little Baddie — Bier's west coast pale ale that also clocks in at only 5% ABV.
Pro tip: Bier has three locations in the Indy area — 65th Street, Carmel and Noblesville — but go enjoy a beverage at their massive outdoor space with patio tables, fire pits, a playground for kids, bocce courts, cornhole and a dog park in Noblesville.

Weird Great Depression Entertainment
The Great Depression is remembered as one of the most difficult periods in American history. In 1933 alone, nearly 13 million individuals in the US were unemployed. Despite these difficult circumstances, the human spirit prevailed and people managed to find (oftentimes bizarre) ways to keep themselves entertained... Even though money was tight for most, that didn't mean people stopped finding or inventing ways to have fun. In many instances, as long as an activity was inexpensive, it would quickly catch on in the United States and become a fad, or in many cases, a craze. From weeks-long dance marathons to swallowing live fish, here are 9 WILD ways people kept themselves entertained during the Great Depression: Dance marathons: Dance marathons, which initially began as simply that, began in the 1920s; however, by the Great Depression, the marathons had morphed into an endurance competition that spectators took an almost twisted pleasure in watching. Many of these marathons promised that in exchange for many hours, or often days of dancing, they would provide financially struggling competitors the cash equivalent of a year's salary, alongside the temporary shelter of the ballroom and up to 12 meals per day (which had to be eaten on waist-high tables in the dance hall). In 1933, Minneapolis's Callum deVillier and Vonny Kuchinski won a marathon at Somerville, Massachusetts, after dancing for 3,780 continuous hours, equivalent to five months. Their prize? $ a one-hour span, contestants would dance for 45 minutes in order to receive a 15-minute break, wherein they would often rest on a cot or receive a foot massage from a nurse. Dancers often learned to sleep while dancing; however, marathon rules generally stated that if a contestant's knees touched the floor, they would be eliminated. As a loophole, many contestants would tie their wrists behind their partner's necks, in case they drifted off. Sleeping was not only the everyday habit dancers participated in on the dance floor; they could also bathe, shave, and even read the paper. Despite the general popularity of these competitions (dance marathon historian Carol Martin claimed that during the time period most American cities with a population over 50,000 hosted a dance marathon), there were many groups who were opposed to them, including churches who considered dancing "sinful," movie theater owners who believed the entertainment the marathons provided were harming their business, and others who objected solely on the basis of inhumane conditions. Flagpole-sitting competitions: Surprisingly enough, flagpole-sitting was invented during the "Roaring Twenties," but managed to keep its relevancy throughout the first year of the Great sailor and stunt actor Alvin "Shipwreck" Kelly popularized the trend in 1924. His initial venture into pole-sitting continued for 13 hours and 13 minutes; however, it soon became a craze across the country, and others quickly broke his record. By the summer of 1930, Kelly decided to reclaim the title of "pole-sitting extraordinaire," and as many as 20,000 people ventured to Atlantic City to watch him participate in his daily routine, such as sleeping, eating, and shaving, all while sitting on top of a 225-foot-tall flagpole for 49 straight act inspired children across the country to participate in tree-sitting competitions, where they would attempt to remain on a tree's limbs for hours on end. In fact, one child in southern California was so prolific at the endeavor that he reportedly remained in a tree for 1,320 hours, or rather, 55 pole-sitting (during the Depression, at least) was a relatively short-lived fad as it was largely forgotten by the fall of 1930. Goldfish swallowing competitions: As wild as it may sound, goldfish swallowing competitions became serious business at colleges across the United States during the Great Depression. The origins of goldfish swallowing can be traced back to Lothrop Withington Jr., who, in his first year at Harvard, allegedly bragged to friends that he had once eaten a live fish. Of course, being college students, these friends dared Withington and bet him $10 that he wouldn't be able to do it again. So, on March 3, 1939, Withington took their bet and swallowed a live, three-inch-long goldfish. In a later interview with LIFE magazine, he recalled, "The scales caught a bit on my throat as it went down." The publicity from the LIFE article caused a goldfish swallowing craze that swept across college campuses. Within a month, the record for goldfish swallowed slowly climbed to three, then four, and all the way to a whopping 101. However, people weren't content to stop at goldfish; no, the fad ultimately led to college kids swallowing other living creatures and inanimate objects such as mice, angleworms, phonograph records, and even issues of the New with all dangerous fads (eating live goldfish can cause a whole host of health problems such as parasites, tuberculosis, and even potentially increase cancer risks as many goldfish are treated with medicines that contain carcinogens), it didn't take long for responsible adults to step in and attempt to put a stop to the goldfish madness. At one college, administrators suspended a student after finding his goldfish-swallowing behavior "unbecoming." Others, ranging from animal rights activists to politicians, wanted to put a stop to the trend, with one member of the Massachusetts Legislature sponsoring a bill that would "protect and preserve the fish from cruel and wanton consumption.'Ultimately, the trend died off (much to the relief of the goldfish community).

Here's A First Look At Jeremy Allen White As Bruce Springsteen In The New Movie "Deliver Me From Nowhere"
Do you love all things TV and movies? Subscribe to the Screen Time newsletter to get your weekly dose of what to watch next and what everyone is flailing over from someone who watches everything! We have another biopic about a famous musician coming, and this time it's about Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen, nicknamed "the Boss," is considered one of the most influential musicians in American rock. His career has spanned six decades, with a majority of his albums featuring the iconic E Street Band. After releasing his first two albums, he achieved worldwide popularity with Born to Run in 1975, and then again with Born in the U.S.A. in 1984. Springsteen has won 20 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, an Academy Award, and a Special Tony Award. He's also been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999. And in 2010, Rolling Stone ranked him No. 23 on their "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" list, saying, "In many ways, Bruce Springsteen is the embodiment of rock & roll." So now, it seems like the only other thing that needs to be checked off the list is a biopic about his life and how he changed music forever. Directed and written by Scott Cooper, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere will chronicle Springsteen's time making his 1982 album Nebraska, an album that was recorded in his New Jersey bedroom, and marked a pivotal time in his career before he was launched into global superstardom. Cooper is best known for his Academy Award-nominated work on 2009's Crazy Heart starring Jeff Bridges. Speaking about Deliver Me From Nowhere, Springsteen told Variety, "They pitched the idea, and I said, 'It sounds like fun.' It's an interesting concept, because it's only a couple of years out of my life. It's '81, '82, and centered around the creation of that particular record while I was simultaneously recording Born in the USA and also going through some personal difficulties that I've been living with my whole life. But it's fantastic." The film stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen and Jeremy Strong as Jon Landau, Springsteen's manager and record producer. Neilson Barnard / Getty Images, Monica Schipper / Getty Images It also stars Paul Walter Hauser, Odessa Young, Stephen Graham, Gaby Hoffmann, Marc Maron, David Krumholtz, Johnny Cannizzaro, and more.

He's got an interpretation of me that I think the fans will deeply recognize, and he's just done a great job, so I've had a lot of fun. I've had a lot of fun being on the set when I can get there."
