Arizona Winemaker Chases Dream, Hits National Map

Brewdog, the Scottish craft beer giant, is potentially up for sale after the company brought in financial experts to explore options for new investors, according to BBC Business. The move comes as the company navigates a challenging economic climate, aiming to bolster its long-term strength and sustainability. Meanwhile, in other news, former President Barack Obama indirectly addressed a racist video posted by President Trump, and Senator Marco Rubio reassured European leaders of the enduring US-Europe alliance. Additionally, stroke survivors are trialing new at-home technology to regain movement, and an Arizona winemaker is putting Arizona wine on the national map.

Brewdog, founded in 2007 by James Watt and Martin Dickie, operates breweries and pubs globally, including approximately 60 in the UK, BBC Business reported. Consultants AlixPartners have been brought in to oversee the sales process, which could potentially lead to the business being broken up. A spokesperson for Brewdog stated the decision followed a year of decisive action in 2025, focusing on costs and operational efficiency.

In political news, former President Obama commented on the state of American political discourse, indirectly referencing a video shared by President Trump that depicted him and his wife as apes, according to the NY Times. In a podcast interview, Obama expressed concern about the "clown show" in social media and television, lamenting the apparent lack of shame among those who once valued decorum.

Senator Marco Rubio addressed the Munich Security Conference, assuring European leaders that the US does not plan to abandon the transatlantic alliance, BBC World reported. He stated that the US's destiny "will always be intertwined" with Europe's, despite acknowledging tensions related to immigration, trade, and climate policies. Rubio's speech was markedly different from Vice-President JD Vance's at the same event the previous year.

In the realm of technology, stroke survivors are trialing new "at home" devices designed to help them regain hand and arm movement, according to BBC Technology. Amanda James-Hammett, who suffered a stroke six years ago, is participating in a nationwide NHS trial. She reported that the technology "has given me my freedom back."

Finally, an Arizona winemaker is gaining national recognition for his wines, Fox News reported. Eric Glomski, a former restoration ecologist, discovered his passion for winemaking after experiencing the unique flavors of his "liquid landscape." He explained how terroir transforms identical Syrah into unique expressions.
