Moat Mountain’s Made of Metal
Everybody loves a good IPA right? (Well, no, Mel and Jason think they’re too hoppy, but that is because they are dead inside).

Oh, Christmas Tree
Tired of all the boring, regular Christmas trees that are about this time of year? Want something more quirky? How about a tree made of books?
The folks at Juniper Books used roughly 800 volumes to put together this 7 foot tall book sculpture. Using books to make a tree, it’s kind of meta, no?
