Conor McGregor beer
A pub in Dublin, Ireland called MVP and the Brewtonic brewery made a beer in honour of motor-mouthed UFC champion Conor McGregor.
If you’ve tried it, good for you. If you haven’t you’re shit out of lucky.
There isn’t going to be anymore apparently.
Sarah found out why — and why someone would create a McGregor beer in the first place — in a feature story for Fightland.

The scene at a previous Dudebox event
With the NBA All-Star Game/cultural circus dominating Toronto right now there are parties everywhere.
One of the few noble, affordable and super-cool ones happening tonight is the Dudebox party featuring DJ Windows 98, better known as Win Butler from Arcade Fire.
As cool as that sounds, the best part is probably the fact that 100 per cent of the profits from this party will go to the Kanpe charity.
I spoke to Dudebox organizer Daniel Tal about this for Samaritan mag.

Danko Jones and Lemmy from Motorhead
Motorhead’s Lemmy Kilmister is one of the most legendarily hard-living, hard-drinkers in rock ‘n’ roll history.
Danko Jones is not a hard-living, hard-drinking rock ‘n’ roller.
Except when he’s hanging out with Lemmy.
Danko told me what it’s like to have a few jack-and-cokes with the Motorhead singer in a story for Noisey.

LCBO Store
One of the biggest stories in Ontario this week wasn’t about Toronto’s allegedly crackhead mayor Rob Ford, or the fundamentally sketchy behavior of two Conservative Senators Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin, it was the serious-business worry about whether we’d be able to buy liquor over this Victoria Day long weekend. This, because the LCBO was poised to go on strike.
As such, Sarah wrote a couple stories about this phenomenon for Huffington Post Music Canada. The first takes us through all the stages of grief in realizing that you’re going to run out of booze, all set to mostly-Canadian music.
The second, written after the LCBO strike was averted, contemplates those same stages of grief, but hey, we don’t have to worry about it now, so let’s get shit-faced.
