ARCADIA ALES LAUNCHES SKY HIGH RYE PALE ALE IN REXAM CANS
Continuing the move of craft beer to aluminum cans, SKY HIGH RYE from ARCADIA ALES has launched its West Coast-style Pale Ale in 12 oz. cans from Rexam.
SKY HIGH RYE is brewed with 80 percent English barley malt and 20 percent rye malt. It boasts a floral aroma of resinous hops with contributing notes of lemons, peaches and pine needles, and is anchored by the sweet, malty flavor of toffee and freshly-baked pumpernickel bread. It is six percent alcohol by volume.
?Sky High Rye has been an excellent complement to our stable of beers,? said TIM SURPRISE, OWNER, ARCADIA BREWING CO. ?The label features really beautiful illustrations, and Rexam has successfully transferred that beauty onto their can. This beer in cans will provide our customers with a year-round rye pale ale that will not disappoint.?
ARCADIA ALES chose to launch SKY HIGH RYE in aluminum cans because of their portability and accessibility. Cans are more widely accepted at golf courses, beaches and many other outdoor venues where glass is often prohibited.
Surprise added: ?Our consumers will no longer be limited by the restrictions of a glass container, which ultimately makes Sky High Rye more accessible to our loyal fans. That?s what it?s all about for us.?

ARCADIA also benefits from the fact that cans are the best environmental and sustainability choice with a recycle rate at more than double any other beverage package. This is the second beer in the ARCADIA ALES family to expand into aluminum. Last year, the company launched its seasonal WHITSUN ALE in 12 oz. Rexam cans.
?Rexam is pleased to continue its partnership with Arcadia to help them extend their product offerings in beverage cans,? said RICH GRIMLEY, PRESIDENT AND CEO, REXAM BEVERAGE CAN NORTH AMERICA. ?Our aluminum can is a great packaging solution for craft beer, and it enables their brand to stand out on retail shelves while delivering superior recycling benefits, as well as distribution and retail display economics.?
ARCADIA BREWING COMPANY was established in 1996, as a microbrewery and restaurant specializing in handcrafted British-inspired style ales and wood-fired cuisine. ?All of their beers are produced in small batches, on authentic British equipment, using only the finest malted barley from England & Canada, and when combined with the freshest hops from the Pacific Northwest together with our proprietary strain of yeast, the result is some of finest and fullest flavored handcrafted ales available, on any continent.
ARCADIA BREWING COMPANY is expanding, and recently broke ground on a 25,000 square-foot brewery and 4,500 square-foot pub/eatery in Kalamazoo, Mich. The new facility will increase the company?s production capacity from 12,000 barrels annually to over 30,000.
SKY HIGH RYE in aluminum cans is currently available at select retailers in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

Gras is considered by many to be one of the most talented and dedicated chefs in the world. Known for his creative and innovative cuisine, he has received three Michelin Stars for his cooking at three different restaurants over the course of the past 20 years.

Gras?s recipes are not meant just to provide readers with instructions for preparing enjoyable meals, but also to act as template for how to become a better cook. The recipes explain how to get set up in the kitchen and how to stay organized while cooking. Accompanying step-by-step photos and videos provide a depth of information not available in traditional cookbooks.

To help inspire better-for-you menu options in chain restaurants, the CALIFORNIA STRAWBERRY COMMISSION recently 
hosted a CULINARY WORKSHOP for select restaurant chain corporate chefs, menu developers and buyers. The two-and-a-half day event provided an in-depth look at the field-to-fork journey of?California?strawberries.
The CALIFORNIA STRAWBERRY COMMISSION is a state government entity that represents 600 growers, shippers and processors of?California?strawberries. With a focus on food safety education, Commission strategies also include production and nutrition research, trade relations, public policy and marketing communications. California?is the largest producer of strawberries in the U.S., with hundreds of family farms. Because of their year-round availability, menu developers can count on a consistent supply of the highest quality, fresh and frozen?California?strawberries for every season. Participating chains included AU BON PAIN, BRINKER/MAGGIANO?S LITTLE ITALY, HARD ROCK CAFE, LEGAL SEA FOODS, LLC, and WENDY?S?.

The workshop comes at a time when the foodservice industry is increasingly focused on providing patrons with flavor-forward, healthful fruit and vegetable menu options, driven by consumer demand and new government mandates.
?Strawberries, with their universal appeal and powerful package of nutrients, are an ideal ingredient to help operators achieve their taste and nutrition-related goals,? said?CHRIS CHRISTIAN, VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING, CALIFORNIA STRAWBERRY COMMISSION. ?Our goal is to ensure?California?strawberries are top-of-mind among menu developers and are a preferred ?go-to? solution to meet consumer demand for more flavor-packed, healthful options.?

EATING GRAPES MAY HELP PROTECT HEART HEALTH IN MEN WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME, NEW STUDY SUGGESTS GRAPES REDUCED BLOOD PRESSURE, IMPROVED BLOOD FLOW AND REDUCED INFLAMMATION
Consuming grapes may help protect heart health in people with metabolic syndrome, according to new research published in THE JOURNAL OF NUTRITION.[1]? Researchers observed a reduction in key risk factors for heart disease in men with metabolic syndrome: reduced blood pressure, improved blood flow and reduced inflammation.? Natural components found in grapes, known as polyphenols, are thought to be responsible for these beneficial effects.
The randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study, led by principal investigator DR.?MARIA LUZ FERNANDEZ?and

JACQUELINE BARONA, a PhD student in Dr. Fernandez? lab at the DEPARTMENT OF NUTRITIONAL SCIENCES of the UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT, recruited men between 30 and 70 years of age with metabolic syndrome. The study is believed to be the first to look at the impact of grapes on metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that occur together ? increased blood pressure, a high blood sugar level, excess body fat around the waist or low HDL (the good cholesterol) and increased blood triglycerides ? significantly increasing the risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Metabolic syndrome is a major public health concern, and is on the rise in the U.S.
In this study, participants were randomly assigned to consume grapes, in the form of a freeze-dried whole grape powder, or a placebo powder, for four weeks.? Then, following a 3-week ?washout? period where neither grapes nor placebo were consumed, individuals were allocated to the alternate treatment.? This powerful study design allowed investigators to compare the response of each individual to consumption of both the placebo and grapes.
The study results showed that for each of the study?s subjects, grape consumption resulted in significant decreases in blood pressure, improved blood flow (greater vasodilation), and decreases in a compound associated with inflammation.
?These results suggest that consuming grapes can improve important risk factors associated with heart disease, in a population that is already at higher risk,? said Fernandez.? ?This further supports the accumulating evidence that grapes can positively influence heart health, and extends it to men with metabolic syndrome.?
The CALIFORNIA TABLE GRAPE COMMISSION was created by the?California?legislature in 1967 to increase worldwide demand for fresh?California?grapes through a variety of research and promotional programs.
The California Table Grape Commission prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where applicable sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, or religion. The California Table Grape Commission is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

Hangover-Free Whisky? Healthy? Good for Everyone?
If you like the taste of whisky when socializing but don?t want to risk impairment, take a look at the world?s first alcohol-free, whisky-flavored drink ARKAY. This golden substitute has the appearance, taste, and aroma of traditional whisky ? but with 0 alcohol, 0 calories, 0 Sugar ? and just like any shot, it is popular for drinking straight-up, on the rocks, with your favorite mixers, or blended in a cocktail.
No calories, no fat, no sugar, no hangover guaranteed!
?ArKay is produced with no alcohol, at all, in the first place,? says VP OF SALES, JOSH POLKY; in the Fort Lauderdale office of ARKAY BEVERAGES INC.

ArKay?s process has no maturation and no fermentation, so there is never any alcohol. It is also calorie-free, fat-free and sugar-free. Not only can you drink as much as you want and not get even slightly impaired, but men and women alike can drink as much as they want even if they are watching their weight. ?In addition, there is no hangover!
It took five years of beverage industry research, surveys, and tastings to create a genuine whisky-flavored alternative for mass consumption. To date, the response from the public has been incredible, Polky says, and the secret recipe for this whisky-replacement is in accordance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations.
The beverage is not a replacement to the real thing but is a promising answer for those who enjoy the taste of a drink, a shot, or a cocktail but can?t do it due to personal responsibilities or medical reasons. Envision, for example, being able to enjoy several whisky-flavored drinks at a social gathering without the worry of driving home. ?Further envision the enjoyment without the calories, fat or sugar associated with other beverages.
?This beverage is not intended to be medicine,? states Polky, ?but is a healthy alternative substitute to liquor and may we mention again: Hangover free.?

GLORY FOODS, INC. LAUNCHES ?RACE TO FEEDING AMERICA? CAMPAIGN WITH NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES DRIVERS DAVID RAGAN AND DAVID GILLILAND
Representatives of GLORY FOODS, INC., have announced the company?s sponsorship of a series of NASCAR races in which food and funds will be donated through its ?RACE TO FEEDING AMERICA? CAMPAIGN to FEEDING AMERICA ? the nation?s premier domestic hunger-relief charity ? to support child hunger efforts.
An initial donation of 43,000 pounds of canned goods from Glory Foods was made to the SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK of Metrolina in Charlotte, N.C., a FEEDING AMERICA food bank.
?We believe our ?Race To Feeding America? campaign will help Feeding America get food to children in need across the country,? said DAN CHARNA, VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS FOR GLORY FOODS. ?Nearly 16 million children in the United States don?t know where their next meal is coming from. Glory Foods wants to do what it can to reduce those numbers and help ensure no child goes to bed hungry.?
Dan Charna, vice president of operations for Glory Foods, Inc.; Lucio Guerrero, vice president of communications for Feeding America; NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Driver David Ragan, #34, of Front Row Motorsports; Kay Carter, executive director of Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina in Charlotte, N.C.; and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Driver David Gilliland, #38, of Front Row Motorsports flank the new logo for Glory Foods' "Race To Feeding America" campaign. The logo was unveiled at the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, where Glory Foods also donated 43,000 pounds of food to support child hunger efforts. (PRNewsFoto/Glory Foods, Inc.)
Charna said GLORY FOODS is sponsoring FRONT ROW MOTORSPORTS entries in NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES events in Atlanta, Bristol, Tenn., and Charlotte and will donate to FEEDING AMERICA enough money and canned food products to exceed its campaign goal of 500,000 meals to children nationwide.
?We want NASCAR fans to join us in helping Feeding America get food to children who are in need so they can get the nourishment required to grow and flourish,? Charna said. ?They can go to the campaign?s website,?www.racetofeedingamerica.org, to make a donation to Feeding America. Or, they may support the cause by donating to local Feeding America food banks in the race cities.?
GLORY FOODS? sponsorship program includes primary sponsorship of two FRONT ROW MOTORSPORTS entries: the No. 34 of DAVID RAGAN and the No. 38 of DAVID GILLILAND. The sponsorship includes a special head-to-head challenge for the Oct. 13 BANK OF AMERICA 500 at CHARLOTTE MOTOR SPEEDWAY.
?My teammate, David Gilliland, and I want to heighten awareness about the issue of child hunger right here in our own country,? Ragan said. ?In doing so, I hope we all become better stewards to children, one meal at a time.?
If either driver wins in Charlotte, Glory Foods will donate $1 million to Feeding America.
