The biggest, the smallest, most award-winning,
and still the only Jewish beer company in America, Shmaltz Brewing Company announces its farewell season after 25 years in the beer business with the first and final release of Bittersweet Lenny’s RIPA in 16oz cans, vintage gems from the Shmaltz beer vault, and a fitting tribute, Exodus 2021 Barleywine Ale (8.8% ABV) brewed with Date, Fig, Pomegranate, and Grape.

up faster and faster. It feels like only yesterday, I put away the decorations for last year’s Life Day. I think it is pretty amazing that something that once was just a Wookie holiday is now celebrated across the galaxy. Life Day is a great time of year, with families gathered around their Kashyyyk Tree of Life, holding hands and singing. Continue reading

Equipment: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Reveals from Hasbro Pulse Con 2021
I find it remarkable that the Power Rangers 
began 1993 and the show is still morphin’. The Power Rangers were part of the Fox Kids programing block back when there used to be Saturday morning cartoons. The premise was basic, 5 kids become Earth’s defenders, protecting the planet from invaders. For the action sequences, Power Rangers used footage shot in Japan for a show called, Super Sentai and edited in scenes between battles with the American cast. Continue reading

Equipment: Transformers’ Reveals from Hasbro Pulse Con 2021
Transformers have changed a bit since we 
first started playing with them. The modern figures have more articulation and just generally look better. I can’t even make snide comment and say, “I wish I would have had that as a kid!” Truth of the matter is I am still buying these and playing with them. The only difference between my youth and now is that I have more money to pay for toys as an adult.
Last week at Hasbro Pulse Con, Hasbro announced some great looking figures. Read on to see what is rolling out from Hasbro. Continue reading
