National IPA Day: 10 Deals to Help Get Your Beer Fix | Gift Of Life
Americans nationwide will raise their glasses on Thursday and make a celebratory toast for National Indian Pale Ale (IPA) Day. While any beer shared among friends is a good beer, the best kind of beer is the one that you pay less money to drink—and multiple places are giving out deals to mark the occasion. Drizly, an alcohol delivery service, is giving all new customers in California, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arizona, Colorado, Washington, D.C., Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, New York and Rhode Island a $10 discount on orders of $25 or more that are placed on Thursday. All users have to do is use the code “IPA10.” New users can also receive $5 off or free delivery on orders over $20 with the code “IPA5” if they live in certain states, including:IndianaMaineMassachusettsMinnesotaNorth CarolinaNew JerseyTexasWashingtonCaliforniaKentuckyTennesseeArizonaColoradoWashington, D.C.FloridaIllinoisLouisianaMarylandNew YorkRhode Island The Wandering Tortoise, a beer shop and tap room in Phoenix, is celebrating all day with $5 pints. On National IPA Day Eve, the establishment posted the “lineup” on Facebook, which included 16 different options to choose from. Florida residents can enjoy a flight of four IPAs in the LauderAle taproom in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for only $11. Included in the flight is a milkshake IPA, which owner Kyle Jones told SouthFlorida.com is a style that’s more in line with what his customers crave. “People don’t like the super-bitter, piney, over-hopped IPAs as much anymore,” he explained. “Milkshake IPAs and hazy IPAs are creamier, crisper and lower in bitterness while still smelling pretty dank.” HopCat, a restaurant and craft beer bar, is giving its Chicago patrons $2 off the IPA of their choice all day long. Sycamore Brewing in Charlotte, North Carolina, is also participating in the holiday and offering IPA pours for $3 in a take-home glass. They’re also releasing their DIPA Milkshake IPA Can on Thursday.

Happy 4th of July w/ Red/White/Blue Elevator at Carnegie Guest House
To celebrate America's birthday, I thought it would be neat to go back to Davidson College which is in a small American town & film the Otis Series 7 Hydro Fit Elevator they have installed at the Carnegie Guest House which is located on campus but is open to the public. It's a very charming guest house & thanks to the friendly staff for letting us take a peak into one of the rooms. :) The elevator has a white call button as well as the inside fixtures & the floor indicator is blue background with white numbers & the carpet is a reddish burgundy color which I thought would be appropriate for the 4th of July. Hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed exploring the guest house. Thanks to Gluse who has filmed here on his recent trip to NC for letting me know about it. I had been to Davidson College several times but didn't know about this elevator until he told me about it. For more info on the Guest House, you can visit their website & Facebook Page at and
