Weekly Specials: Donald Trump Hates Millenials?! Donald Trump Hates Millenials?!

In news that should shock literally no one, Donald Trump tweeted–before making any effort to actually think through his statement–that his next step in stopping immigration would be to close the border. As reported on by Reuters: “Nearly half of all imported US vegetables and 40 percent of imported fruit are grown in Mexico, according to the latest data from the United States Department of Agriculture.” What does this mean for you? Higher prices on said fruits and veggies in your store, and the death of the avocado toast industry. Current estimates by Steve Barnard, president and chief executive of Mission Produce, state that we’d have enough avocados to last us about three weeks. What follows after will most likely be remembered as “The Aguacalypse” as chips go undipped across the nation, and millenials struggle to find a brunch meal that’s both filling, decadent and Instagram-worthy. I hope you’re happy, Donald.

Cantero Brewing Company (3351 Columbia Dr NE) is launching the first hemp-infused beer in New Mexico with their Hempowered Pineapple Gose. Brewed with real pineapple and infused with natural hemp seed, the supply is limited so if you’re looking to be one of the few who get to try it first, make sure you get there early. It’s launching officially on April 5, starting at 11am. While we haven’t gotten a preview sample to write anything about (wink-wink), they describe the flavor as “refreshingly salty, sweet and sour with notes of tropical fruit and citrus,” which sounds like exactly the kind of thing you’re looking for in a craft gose.
