Batson River Brewing & Distilling has unveiled its latest creation, the Backcountry Kölsch, now available for purchase in 4-packs and on draft. Crafted to embody the essence of Maine's southern coast, this refreshing brew can be found at all Batson River locations and is also distributed throughout southern Maine by Nappi Distributors in Gotham, ME.

Operations Manager Jon Quade feels the release timing is perfect: “As things start to warm up here in Maine, the mindset shifts to getting outdoors, walking in the woods and enjoying nature. And to us, that also means bringing a light and refreshing beer along for the ride. I think spring beers are finally getting the recognition they deserve and we’re excited to offer Backcountry Kölsch to consumers looking for that flavor profile.”

Since its inception in 2018, Batson River Brewing & Distilling has remained committed to producing exceptional craft beers that pay homage to the local community and the scenic landscapes of Maine. From the farm to marshlands and finally to the shore, the Batson River serves as the inspiration behind every batch brewed.

With four brewpub restaurants strategically located in Portland, Wells, Kennebunk, and Biddeford, Batson River Brewing continues to serve as a beacon for craft beer enthusiasts seeking quality and innovation.

Samuel Adams is excited to announce the opening of applications for its prestigious Brewing & Business Experienceship, an opportunity that has become synonymous with fostering the next generation of craft brewers. Through its philanthropic arm, Brewing the American Dream, the company provides invaluable mentorship to aspiring entrepreneurs in the food and beverage industry. Simultaneously, Samuel Adams proudly unveils its upcoming collaboration brew with Funkytown Brewery, winner of the 2023 Experienceship.

At the heart of the Brewing the American Dream program lies the Experienceship, which offers promising craft brewers access to unparalleled resources and guidance. This year, the program will culminate in the creation of a special beer developed in collaboration with experts from Samuel Adams Boston Brewery. The result is a refreshing pale lager boasting a 5% ABV, crafted using San Francisco Steam Yeast and a blend of Motueka and Tettnang hops. Beer enthusiasts can enjoy this limited-edition brew on tap at Samuel Adams Boston Brewery and Pilot Project Brewing in Chicago starting the first week of May 2024.

In today's rapidly evolving world, automation and robotics are profoundly impacting the job market. Today, even such online casinos like Spin City benefit from intelligent automation, which helps transfer user profile data from title to title and integrate it with a program. As technology advances at an unprecedented rate, industries across the board are experiencing significant changes in how work is done. This transformation is driven by integrating cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and robotics into various aspects of our daily lives.

Automation, once a concept confined to science fiction, has become an integral part of our reality. The automotive industry, for instance, has witnessed a dramatic shift with the introduction of robotic assembly lines. These machines work tirelessly, assembling complex vehicles with precision and efficiency. This shift has increased production rates but has also led to concerns about job displacement among human workers.

Moreover, automation has extended its reach beyond manufacturing and is now making inroads into white-collar professions. For instance, algorithmic trading has become commonplace in the finance sector, replacing human traders in executing high-frequency transactions. Similarly, customer service chatbots and virtual assistants are becoming increasingly sophisticated, taking over routine tasks and inquiries.
