Good People Brewing | Hazy Snake IPA (porchdrinking.com)

For their first new beer release in five years, the old-school folks at Good People are jumping onto a new-school beer trend.

I think we’re all able to process this in our own way about what this means.” With Hazy Snake IPA, Good People Brewing succeeds in delivering a respectable amount of hop flavor while keeping it smooth, refreshing, and yes – dangerously drinkable. Hazy Snake is a citrus-forward IPA brewed with Idaho 7, Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Cascade hops (all sourced from industry leader Yakima Chief), and uses flaked oats as opposed to lactose for a soft, creamy body without being too sweet or heavy on the palate. Especially since they hold a veteran market position in Alabama & Tennessee for more traditional beer styles, with Hazy Snake, their goal was to produce an admirable representation of this new-school beer style without alienating their core fanbase.

Snake wrangler aims to ease public's fear by safely relocating reptiles (The San Diego Union-Tribune)

Bruce Ireland fell in love with snakes as a boy and now spends afternoons and weekends rescuing rattlers from residential areas.

The website offers tips on identifying snake breeds and details on when and how to call for relocation services. In 2020, three other North County men who Ireland met on Nextdoor volunteered to help and the Snake Wranglers group ( snake-wranglers.com) was born. But in Poway, handyman Patrick “Trapper Pat” Brady offers free training on how to safely remove snakes, lizards, spiders and gophers. The son of an oilman, Ireland grew up in England and Connecticut before settling with his family in a remote part of Texas at age 10. To save these doomed creatures, Ireland began offering his free snake collection services on Nextdoor and quickly became overwhelmed by calls. One by one he lifted the snakes out of the bucket with long metal hooks and then walked them into brush areas far away from each other to give them each their own hunting grounds. By the end of his visit to the home, Ireland said the family’s young daughter was holding and playing with the snake. Because fire officials don’t have the tools or time to relocate snakes, they usually are forced to kill them, even snakes that are nonvenomous. The agitated snake bit Ireland several times as he was trying to free it, but once the snake was pulled to safety, it became friendly and curious. Thirty years ago, he got a job in sales in San Diego, where he has always enjoyed hiking and searching for snakes. The second snake was more eager to escape into the brush, but neither of the snakes was using their rattle or exhibiting any aggressive behavior. Ireland, 57, heads up the Snake Wranglers, an all-volunteer group of Coastal North County snake-lovers who are on call to remove these wayward reptiles from residential neighborhoods and release them unharmed miles away in undeveloped areas.

Bodycam footage captured the snake slithering around the room as an officer attempted to capture it.

Hall uses a brush handle to guide the snake out into the open. The snake eventually slithers inside the box, and Hall tapes it up, before releasing it into the wilderness nearby.

Cary Elwes Speaks From Hospital Bed After Horrifying Snake Bite (GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT)

Famed actor, Cary Elwes, had to be rushed to the hospital after he came across a snake. The actor also took time to reference his best movie.

Based on the size of Elwes’s finger, he clearly could have been in much more trouble had he not been rushed to the hospital in time. According to Anamaric, the hemotoxins and neurotoxins in the snake’s venom could have gone after his nervous system and caused hemorrhaging and necrosis in the blood. The actor had to be airlifted to a nearby hospital to ensure that he didn’t succumb to the strong poison that exists in the fangs of rattlesnakes. Thankfully, he was able to be rushed to the hospital without substantial damage being done. You can see the fight below: The famed actor posted a picture of his finger on Twitter, right after he had received a nasty bite from a rattlesnake.

Snakebite season is upon us. Just ask 'Princess Bride' star Cary Elwes. Here's how to protect yourself from venomous snakebites.

For example, if the bite is to your ankle, wrap the leg with an elastic or pressure bandage starting at the foot and progress up the leg as high as possible. So, for an ankle bite, you want to extend the splint past the ankle distally and past the knee proximally. Any patients who receive antivenom will be admitted to the ICU. This can also become evident by bruising, called ecchymoses, that can appear in the skin within minutes to hours. They will also measure and track the limb circumference at several sites above and below the bite. A straight branch or piece of wood or plastic or metal will do. Any movement will assist venom in entering the blood stream. Where I live in California is home to eight species of rattlesnakes, for example. In the U.S., approximately 7,000 to 8,000 people per year are bitten by venomous snakes. Keep in mind that snakes will not bite if they are left alone. In the ER, I am most concerned with venomous snakebites – from either the coral snake or pit viper family, which the rattlesnake that bit Elwes belongs to. Fortunately, that risk can be mitigated by quick action after a bite and by seeking prompt medical attention.
