A New Brew
The crowd is young, hip and thirsty. But there is plenty of cold beer around and the spirits are, um, high, especially when the word gets out that the brew is made with hemp — marijuana’s non-psychoactive cousin. Despite the rowdy comments about getting stoned, this is not a seedy bar in a back alley, but the respected Salon of Taste in Turin, a gourmet fest organized last October by Slow Food, a worldwide organization promoting healthy eating. Here the message in the bottle is that since hemp is rich in nutrients and essential fatty acids, beer containing this fibrous plant is good for what ales you.
A builder’s guide to the high life
They have endured the builders’ jokes of “Isn’t it going to go up in smoke?” and teenage jibes of “Can we see the wall joints?” but now they’re having the last laugh. Top-o’the-hill, near Sudbury in Suffolk, is warm, dry, stunningly good-looking and a test-bed for what Carpenter, an architect with the firm Modece, hopes will be the “green” housing of the future.

Barrie Hemp Company Spinning in the Confusion Over the Big Marijuana Bust
Ask Hempola Inc. president Greg Herriott what he thinks of last week’s huge marijuana bust in Barrie and he rolls his eyes and states, “we now spend half our daily conversations explaining to customers and people we had NOTHING to do with it! Mind you, most of these people know there is no connection. They’re long term customers… it’s been a real joke topic, but it sure has raised the awareness level for us; almost as much notice as our involvement last year with the American Music Awards.
Breakfast Brainfood
It is often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. What we choose to eat at breakfast can affect our mood, physical and mental performance, weight and general health. Hempseed is a delicious “natural body fuel” that is being used more and more as an ingredient in breakfast foods and recipes. Where did this trend come from?

Fortunes of Fast-Expanding Microbrewery Have Fallen Flat
Ten years ago, the barrels were rolled out with great fanfare when Frederick Brewing Co. opened for business, turning out handcrafted ales, lagers and ruby red porter under the Blue Ridge label and marking the return of commercial beermaking to the city after a 54-year drought. Bankrolled with $750,000 from more than 30 local investors, the brewery caught the nation’s microbrew wave, expanding from 660 barrels a year to more than 28,000 barrels in less than a decade. The company soon built a sophisticated plant outside the city, bought up competitors, shipped its frothy goods to pubs from Chincoteague to China and eventually became a publicly traded company with a cool-sounding symbol. Just this past December, Washingtonian rated its Wild Goose Porter the best of Washington. But the ruby red porter wasn’t all that was red.
Hemp Madness Infects Government Drug Enforcers
Open the plastic bag and a musty smell wafts up from brownish green matter. This is stuff the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration doesn’t want you to have. You can get it, anyway, if you know where to look. And if things go as they should, someday soon it will become a lot easier to find. This is hemp protein powder, the latest food product made from the hemp plant. Not as tasty by itself as hemp granola or snack bars, it’s fine added to other food, like soups, shakes and, perhaps, brownies. There’s nothing mind-altering about any of it, and if you think there is, you’re confusing hemp with its twin, marijuana. Same species. Different strain. One gets you high. The other gets you healthy.
