AKUREYRI, ICELAND, June 26, 2013 (Press-News.org) Brewed with the purest water on earth, three (3) craft beers from Einstok Beer Company beat out brewers from all over the world to win medals at the 2013 Los Angeles International Commercial Beer Competition, including two (2) Gold and one (1) Silver Medal.
In this competition, more than 600 entries were judged by a 70-member panel including BJCP certified judges, brew masters and beer industry officials. According to the competition website, www.labeercomp.com, "judges use a blind-tasting method to award medals to the best beers from around the world, maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism."
In its first ever competition, Einstok Icelandic White Ale won Gold in the venerable Belgian-Style Witbier category and the seasonal Einstok Icelandic Doppelbock took Gold in the German-Style Doppelbock category. Einstok Icelandic Toasted Porter was awarded a Silver Medal in the Robust Porter category.
"From day one, we have focused on putting the best possible quality and flavor into the bottle," said Jack Sichterman, who, along with David Altshuler, founded Einstok in 2010. "Our brand and packaging have always received a lot of recognition, but this means more to us than any of those accolades. Our beer is fantastic."
Along with the White Ale, Doppelbock and Toasted Porter, the Einstok craft beer portfolio also includes an Icelandic Pale Ale, which British GQ Magazine included as the only beer on their 2013 list of the "100 Best Things in the World Right Now!"
"The quality of our beer is the cornerstone of our strategy to expand internationally," said Altshuler. "We are in the process of identifying distributors and partners that have the same focus on quality as we do. With new breweries opening every day, we need to differentiate with the best beer, the best brand and the best packaging possible."

2013-06-26
The most difficult hurdle to getting a higher education today has nothing to do with studying, taking tests or writing papers. The biggest challenge of gaining the level of education needed to succeed is actually paying for it once you graduate!
Student loan debt in the United States now totals $1 trillion. To put that amount into perspective, it eclipses the total amount of credit card debt owed by all American citizens combined.
To make matters worse, the Senate failed to advance measures that would keep interest rates from doubling on July 1st, 2013.

From minute to massive -- mammal size evolution explained
2013-06-25
Scientists have added another piece to the evolutionary puzzle to explain why certain mammal families evolved to be very large, while others remained tiny.
In research published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, an international group of scientists including Monash University's Dr Alistair Evans proposed a new theory explaining the diversity of mammal sizes - from the Etruscan shrew which weighs around two grams, to the blue whale which clocks in at almost 200 tonnes. Surprisingly, baby weight relative to adult body mass is key.
Dr Evans, of the Monash School of ...
