Grab a six-pack and enjoy it on your porch this summer. Photo: Lindsey Erdody/AxiosI am a big fan of IPAs, but I struggle with the typically high ABVs (6.5% or higher). The intrigue: I have found the perfect, not-as-strong IPA that you can comfortably sip all summer. And no, it's not a session IPA, which usually have lower ABVs but (in my opinion) often aren't as good. Brew of the week: Bier Brewery's South Simcoe, a hazy American IPA with 5% ABV and 40 IBU.

Tickets for the WNBA All-Star Game went on sale yesterday and fans were immediately met with massive waits.

They haven't released a roster yet, but Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is expected to be chosen for the second year in a row.
