AKUREYRI, ICELAND, May 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) Forget the ties, the tools and the lawn equipment. If you really want to commemorate the real man your father is, then treat him to something that celebrates adventure and helps him discover his inner viking: craft beer from Einstok Olgerd, brewed in Iceland just 60 miles south of the Arctic Circle.
Einstok - which means "unique" or "distinctive" in Icelandic - starts its process with the perfect foundation for brewing craft ales: the purest water on earth. The water starts as rain or ancient glacial water from atop the Hlioarfjall Mountain, from where it flows through and is naturally purified by ancient lava fields. From there, brewmaster Baldur Karrason unites it with ingredients sourced both locally from Iceland and from all over the world to deliver craft beer that is distinct and flavorful, yet deliciously refreshing and drinkable.
The current product line consists of three styles that offer a variety of color and flavor:
Icelandic White Ale (ABV 5.2%): brewed in the centuries-old Belgian tradition, this ale features the complex flavors of the classic wit bier, including coriander and orange peel, all brewed with pure Icelandic water that delivers a cool smoothness that is flavorful and refreshingly drinkable.
Pale Ale (ABV 5.6%): American and Bavarian craft come together to create the Viking version of the Pale Ale. Mild, slight toffee flavors and generous hop aroma flood this ale with taste, brewed harmoniously with nature's finest Icelandic water.
Toasted Porter (ABV 6.0%): With clear notes of espresso and dark chocolate, this Porter is dark and rich, offering a medium body that is robust - yet smooth and seriously easy to drink. Be afraid of the dark no more.
Einstok is distributed throughout California by Wine Warehouse and is currently available in select stores, restaurants and bars throughout the state. To find out more, join us on Facebook or visit www.einstokbeer.com.

Prevalence of kidney stones doubles in wake of obesity epidemic
2012-05-23
The number of Americans suffering from kidney stones between 2007 and 2010 nearly doubled since 1994, according to a study by researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and RAND.
"While we expected the prevalence of kidney stones to increase, the size of the increase was surprising," says Charles D. Scales, Jr., MD, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Clinical Scholar in the departments of urology and medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. "Our findings also suggested that the increase is due, in ...
Make no mistake - male bosses' errors matter
2012-05-23
What do employees think of their boss when he or she makes a mistake? According to a new study, leaders who make mistakes are seen as less competent, less desirable to work for and less effective than leaders who do not. And if the leader is a man making a mistake in a man's world, he is judged more harshly than a woman making the same mistake in a man's world. The work by Christian Thoroughgood, from the Pennsylvania State University in the US, and his colleagues, is published online in Springer's Journal of Business and Psychology.
It is a fact that leaders do make ...
Wearing 2 different hats: Moral decisions may depend on the situation
2012-05-23
CORVALLIS, Ore. – An individual's sense of right or wrong may change depending on their activities at the time – and they may not be aware of their own shifting moral integrity — according to a new study looking at why people make ethical or unethical decisions.
Focusing on dual-occupation professionals, the researchers found that engineers had one perspective on ethical issues, yet when those same individuals were in management roles, their moral compass shifted. Likewise, medic/soldiers in the U.S. Army had different views of civilian casualties depending on whether ...
Study shows how patients use Facebook to solicit kidney donations
2012-05-23
MAYWOOD, Ill. -- Loyola University Medical Center researchers are reporting one of the first studies to examine how patients and families are soliciting living kidney donors on Facebook.
Researchers examined 91 Facebook pages that were seeking kidney donations for patients ranging in age from 2 to 69.
Twelve percent of the pages reported receiving a kidney transplant and 30 percent reported that potential donors had stepped forward to be tested to determine whether they were compatible. One page reported that more than 600 people had been tested as potential donors ...
Study reveals trade patterns for crucial substance played key role in Maya collapse
2012-05-23
Shifts in exchange patterns provide a new perspective on the fall of inland Maya centers in Mesoamerica approximately 1,000 years ago. This major historical process, sometimes referred to as the "Maya collapse" has puzzled archaeologists, history buffs, and the news media for decades. The new research was published online today in the journal Antiquity.
"Our research strongly suggests that changing patterns of trade were instrumental in prompting the 'Maya collapse,'" said Gary Feinman, curator of anthropology at The Field Museum, which collaborated with the University ...
Nomads of the galaxy
2012-05-23
Recently, a study was published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society proposing planets simply adrift in space may be something of a common phenomenon. Aptly titled "Nomads of the Galaxy," the authors proposed an upper limit to the number of nomad planets that might exist in the Milky Way Galaxy: 100,000 for every star. And because the Milky Way is estimated to have 200 to 400 billion stars, that could put the number of nomad planets in the quadrillions.
If this proposal is correct, it could be that nomad planets play a dynamic role in the universe. ...
Stem-cell-growing surface enables bone repair
2012-05-23
ANN ARBOR, Mich.—University of Michigan researchers have proven that a special surface, free of biological contaminants, allows adult-derived stem cells to thrive and transform into multiple cell types. Their success brings stem cell therapies another step closer.
To prove the cells' regenerative powers, bone cells grown on this surface were then transplanted into holes in the skulls of mice, producing four times as much new bone growth as in the mice without the extra bone cells.
An embryo's cells really can be anything they want to be when they grow up: organs, nerves, ...
Wayne State develops IT solution to help disabled make better wheelchair selections
2012-05-23
DETROIT — A Wayne State University researcher has introduced computer technology that makes it easier for people who need wheelchairs to select one that best suits their needs.
In "Remote Decision Support for Wheeled Mobility and Seating Devices," recently published online and set to appear in the June edition of Expert Systems with Applications, Kyoung-Yun Kim, Ph.D., associate professor of industrial and systems engineering in WSU's College of Engineering, introduces a Web-based decision support system for remotely selecting wheelchairs.
According to the 2010 U.S. ...
Factors behind past lemur species extinctions put surviving species in 'ecological retreat'
2012-05-23
New research out today on the long-term impact of species extinctions suggests that the disappearance of one species does not necessarily allow remaining competitor species to thrive by filling now-empty niches.
Instead, in University of Cincinnati-led research on lemur extinctions over the past 2,000 years, findings suggest that one likely result of changes that lead to species' extinctions is that remaining species go into "ecological retreat." And that retreat can result in new selective and ecological pressures that then increase the extinction risk of surviving species, ...
Hacking code of leaf vein architecture solves mysteries, allows predictions of past climate
2012-05-23
UCLA life scientists have discovered new laws that determine the construction of leaf vein systems as leaves grow and evolve. These easy-to-apply mathematical rules can now be used to better predict the climates of the past using the fossil record.
The research, published May 15 in the journal Nature Communications, has a range of fundamental implications for global ecology and allows researchers to estimate original leaf sizes from just a fragment of a leaf. This will improve scientists' prediction and interpretation of climate in the deep past from leaf fossils. ...
