Creamed corn and cool cans courtesy of northern Indiana's Burn 'Em Brewing
Driving the brews: The folks at Michigan City's Burn 'Em Brewing understand the power of a cool can, and all of their labels feature the distinct skull head designs of artist and musician Max Clarke.
Clark, who goes by the stage name Cut Worms, has made dozens of labels for the northern Indiana brewery.
Some of my personal favorites are the pro wrestling-themed Hopkick Dropkick and Cuke Nukem, a cucumber IPA that references a controversial video game character from the 90s.
Brew of the week: Kreamed Corn, a cream ale brewed with actual creamed corn and wheat malt that boasts a gnarly remix of Grant Wood's American Gothic for its label.
6% ABV.
19 IBU
My take: The creamed corn comes through loud and clear right away, providing a sweet aroma, a smooth mouthfeel and a malty taste. Bold, but very drinkable.
I see it working best as a standalone beer. The complex and full-bodied flavor means it runs the risk of overpowering whatever snack you pair it with.
Yes, but: If you don't like corn — or cream ales — this won't convert you. It doubles down on those elements to deliver an experience for fans of the aforementioned.
If you buy: A four-pack from Carmel's Niemann Harvest Market costs $12.

'Lois & Clark' star Dean Cain enjoyed being objectified as Superman: 'It's a wonderful compliment'
Cain played the Man of Steel for four years on the ABC adventure comedy series "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman." Superman's skin-tight super-suit for Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman might have bothered other actors, but star Dean Cain says he loved the attention it brought him. Reminiscing on the years he was treated like not much more than an expensive piece of meat, Cain recently remarked to Variety, "Any guy who tells you he feels bad being objectified, I mean, really? Come on... It's a wonderful compliment." Cain described his four seasons seasons shooting the ABC action-adventure series as one part pain, and the other, pleasure. "Teri Hatcher and I were making out all the time in beds, half clothes on, half off," he said of his costar, who played Lois Lane, the coworker/love interest to his Clark Kent/Superman. But on the other end of the spectrum, things weren't so nice. "It came down to myself and Kevin Sorbo for Superman," he said. "I had to come back to audition with 10 different Lois Lanes. I remember faces. I was in fight-or-flight mode. I was trying to survive." Once he got the job, new challenges presented themselves. First there was that super-suit - "I remember it being 110 in Burbank. In the Superman suit, you can't sweat. If you sweat, it balls up. So I didn't I'm a Japanese dude. I don't sweat that much. I'm not hairy at all. They didn't have to shave my chest or anything. But still..." Then there were all the stunts required for the flying scenes. Due to the rigid wires used to suspend Cain and Hatcher, the actor recalled, "There's no blood flow going to your legs. After hanging for hours, I would have to get a massage just to keep the blood moving from quadrant to quadrant. Teri would cry. She'd be in tears every single time we had to fly because it hurt."Cain was cast in Lois & Clark in 1993, not long after he'd signed a freelance contract to play football with the Buffalo Bills straight out of college. After small parts on series like A Different World and Beverly Hills, 90210, Cain landed the role of a lifetime, one he said "changed my life insanely." Lois & Clark was a hit, establishing him as a major Hollywood star, though he's always found ways to make his way back to the Superman franchise. Cain landed a guest role on Superman origin series Smallville's seventh season as Dr. Curtis Knox, and appeared on several episodes of Supergirl's first and second seasons as the titular heroine's foster father. Cain isn't entirely pleased with the direction the franchise has taken since his time in the role, however. He's been a vocal critic of James Gunn's new vision of the last son of Krypton, Superman, specifically for being too "woke." "How woke is Hollywood going to make this character?" he asked earlier this month. "How much is Disney going to change their Snow White? Why are they going to change these characters [to] exist for the times?" Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly Solve the daily Crossword

"You're literally dumb as f–k" - Sophie Cunningham has a message for people who argue that Caitlin is not the WNBA's face
"You're literally dumb as f–k" - Sophie Cunningham has a message for people who argue that Caitlin is not the WNBA's face originally appeared on Basketball Network. Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark is arguably the most popular player in the WNBA today. However, there are certain people who don't buy the "Caitlin Fever" and don't think that the former Iowa standout is the face of the league. Well, Clark's Fever teammate Sophie Cunningham has an NSFW message for them. During the first episode of her "Show Me Something" podcast with West Wilson, Sophie admitted that she is annoyed with people who don't think Caitlin is the WNBA's new face. "It literally like pisses me off when people are like, 'She's not the face of the league,'" Cunningham stated. "What? No, there's really good, well-known people in our league. I'm not discrediting them; we have a lot of bad as—s in our league, like hell yeah to that — I'm all for that. But when people try to argue she's not the face of our league or our league would be where we're at without her, you're dumb as s–t. You're literally dumb as f—k." The WNBA posted record figures in 2024 The WNBA looked like a dying league before Caitlin arrived via the 2024 Draft. Since then, the league's numbers have surged. According to an official press release, the WNBA's 2024 season finished with its best attendance numbers in 22 years while setting the record for digital consumption and merchandise sales. Clark's debut on May 14, 2024, versus the Connecticut Sun was the most watched WNBA game since 2001. Four months later, the Fever's September 19th game at the Capital One Arena versus the Washington Mystics set the WNBA single-game attendance record with 20,711. To prove these two games weren't just flukes, Indiana's total home attendance of 340,715 was also a single-season record for a WNBA team. Meanwhile, overall WNBA attendance improved by 48 percent compared to the previous campaign. The Fever saw its franchise value increase by 273 percent compared to the previous year, the biggest improvement in the WNBA last year. With a value of $335 million, Indiana ranks third overall in the league, behind only big markets such as Golden State ($500 million) and New York ($420 million).The Caitlin effect could hit $1 billion After the historic 2024 campaign, the Indianapolis Star hired valuation expert Ryan Brewer from Indiana University Columbus to study Caitlin's economic impact on the league last year. He concluded that Clark was single-handedly responsible for 26.5 percent of the WNBA's 2024 economy. He also projected that the "Caitlin Effect" could hit a billion dollars this year. "If things just go as they were, and we have an expanded season of 22 home games with modest inflation, I'm looking at $875 million," Brewer told NBC News. "And I could easily see that eclipsing a billion dollars on the economic impact of Caitlin Clark this year." A survey conducted by media outlet "The Athletic" recently revealed that 53.8 percent of WNBA players agree that Clark will be the face of the league five years from now. However, there are still players who oppose that, even if the numbers don't lie. But as Sophie said, those people are just in story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Jul 31, 2025, where it first appeared.
