DO (& DRINK) CRAFT BEER & YOGA

Grabbing a good (and local) craft beer is a classic summer pastime. Taking an indoor athletic activity outside is also a fun way to enjoy the summer sun. Pair those two together and you have yourself a great time. Every Wednesday, JDubs Brewing Co. hosts “Craft Beer & Yoga” on the deck in its beer garden. The local collaboration between the brewery and The Yoga Shack is free to attend, but yogi Meg does accept donations for “yoga wisdom and cool vibes.” Even better — participants receive a 10% bar discount after class. Free, visit 1215 Mango Ave. Call 955-2739.

CHILL KEEP IT COOL

... OR A RUN

Yoga not your thing? Try out JDubs’ “Not Quite Friday 5K,” a three-mile run around Ed Smith Stadium and neighboring communities. The run is held at 6 p.m. every Thursday.

Following your run, stay for a few drinks, where, again, you'll receive 10% off your tab.

Visit 1215 Mango Ave. Call 955-2739.

Keep your things cool this summer with insulated bags. If you just needed something to keep inside your purse, try out OTG | 247’s #7. It will fit in your tote and keep your things chilly. Headed to the beach or pool? Pick up this watermelon cooler bag from T.
