Forget learning how to roll a joint -- now you need an encyclopedia and an 18-year-old neighbor to navigate the mess of acronyms and rigs and appendages presented to today’s cannabis consumer. Although, with more options comes more customization, which means more people are experiencing the kind of high they’re looking for. Not to mention, weed has never been better. And thanks to technological and legislative progress, neither has the paraphernalia. Here are the [7 ultimate tools]( every cannabis lover needs for optimal medication and recreation.

It was an institution. They started out with a book of imports, which slowly turned to domestic over time. That would have been 2002 -- definitely early on in the craft moment in America. My entryway through that was largely imports, and especially Belgian beers. I was at a concert in Northern Virginia and I saw people walking around with dark, black pints and it was Abita Turbodog. It blew my mind, it was so good. It opened my eyes to so many new styles and new ways of drinking. And then Guinness followed shortly thereafter. The World Cup happens and you have to wake up at some ungodly hour to watch and Guinness became my soccer beer. American beer has meant different things to different people depending on your circle and time period you came up in the industry. Everything has changed a lot in the last five years, in terms of growth models and how people are drinking. Everything became about the corner breweries, kind of like the coffee shop model. And now with mobile canning, there is so much more accessibility and experimentation happening in the U.S. I went to a brewing school in England and my teachers thought dry-hopping was an abomination but home brewers in the U.S. and Sierra Nevada and Stone built their brands off dry-hopping. An important American beer was Stone IPA because I learned everything about dry-hopping under the Mitch Steele regime. Before the New England hazy phase, every brewery made a West Coast IPA and now every brewery in California is making hazies. It’s so wild. It’s fair to say that America likes to break the rules. Stephenson recommends these all-American beers: [ [Pale Ale by Sierra Nevada]( “For me, this is an American classic that helped to define what American beer has become beyond mass-produced lagers. It is also a pale ale that was a bit before its time in that it is a very hoppy representation of the style for having originated when it did, which is one reason it has stood the test of time as people’s palates have evolved to love lots of hops and IPAs. This beer is always consistent, quality, hoppy, and satisfying.” [ [Stonewall Inn Session IPA by Brooklyn Brewery]( “I have so many happy associations with this beer from past times hanging out with friends in Brooklyn hopping around bars and visiting Brooklyn Brewery. It checks all the boxes for a perfect citrusy session IPA at 4-ish percent. It is also the only year-round beer and charitable collaboration in the LGBTQ+ space that I know of, not to mention that the brewery is helmed by an industry hero. This beer makes me smile.” [ [Sunshine Pilsner by Troegs]( “This was one of my early favorite beers to drink seasonally when I first got into the craft world. It is summertime in a glass and brewed an hour-and-a-half up the road.” [ [Wide Mouth White Ale by Guinness]( “This is my beer of 2020. Throughout these times of social distancing, drinking this beer on my back patio has been key to my sanity and relaxation. It is a wheat beer brewed with coriander, lemon, and orange peel, but unlike its witbier cousins, it is brewed with Guinness yeast (not Belgian). I am also proud that this is the second Baltimore-born Guinness beer that we have released outside the brewery gates, and I am happy that it will be around this summer.” [] [Read More]( [( *Sponsored Ads List [( Send Foodz [] [Tim’s Mom Cooks a Homemade Thai Feast]( On this very [special episode](, Tim’s mom prepares a home cooked feast for the boys.
