Crazy Mountain is a new non-alcoholic beer brewed that way (thanks to a proprietary yeast) instead of brewing and removing the alcohol, which uses electricity and can change the taste. Made by the team behind Casamigos (George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman) who know a thing or two about creating new brands in the beverage space, it’s certainly not the first but it is one of the better tasting. Available in original and lime flavors, it’s a recommended addition to your NA line up. Price is for two six packs (you can mix the two flavors if you like). Also available in retail and delivery outlets.
Health trackers have taken over the ring finger with clean and simple bands meant to blend in more than draw attention. Yoreh’s ring jackets are sterling silver sleeves that turn an Oura or RingConn into something worth looking at. Founded in 2023 by Fin Matson, the label casts everything in recycled 925 silver by traditional lost-wax method, drawing its sensibility from skateboarding, rock music and art rather than from the common jewelry counter. Each jacket is a solid shell—unplated oxidised silver or finished in 18k gold—shaped on the interior to clear the sensor array so heart rate, temperature and sleep tracking continue uninterrupted. Eight designs run from faceted and architectural to simply textured, and sizing follows the ring beneath it exactly: order a nine for a nine. Compatibility covers Oura Gen 3, Gen 4, Gen 5 and Oura Ceramic along with RingConn 2 and RingConn 3. Silver being silver, it will patina unless polished—a slow darkening that flatters the more sculptural styles. Handmade to order and dispatched within 14 to 21 days, prices range from $339 to $509.

Bienvenue Studios, a Zurich-based creative studio focused on biophilic design, uses “natural patterns showing how complexity and harmony can coexist.” They prefer to work in sets of images rather than stand alone works. These five print small art collections can be used either decoratively or as post cards, and come in many different options. The works are offset printed in Zurich on 400g stock, and are 104 x 140 mm.
