Craft Beer

This is Indie Beer Hopsized Brewing Company started as a homebrewing hobby in Southwest Florida, driven by co-founders Ana and Vic’s growing obsession with the science behind beer. What began as experimenting for fun quickly turned into a deeper focus on technique (especially water profiles).

Tattoos and fermentation rarely appear in the same conversation, yet across the world, they share a quiet kinship. Both are practices of transformation, crafts that reshape raw material over time through care and relationships to the land, the spiritual, and the community. Tattooing inscribes identity and ancestry onto skin, while fermentation preserves, nourishes, and binds communities through shared taste and ritual.

Mostly, I wanted a hefty tulip that wouldn’t blow away.

Colorado National Monument in Grand Junction, Colo., is an awe-inspiring canyon boasting scenery any traveler would be lucky to soak in.

The canyon boasts a serenity you simply won’t find at the Grand Canyon, with its steady flow of tourists.
