The pandemic certainly wasn’t good for breweries. But it did force many to rethink the way they do business, and now, as the smoke clears, a few are in a position to succeed like never before.

It will also have a similar woodsy aesthetic, complete with a bar made from a Siberian elm tree and an A-frame above the bar.

What s in a plant? Humans admire them, eat them and rely on them for oxygen release, carbon sequestration, animal habitat and more. But a plant is more than meets the eye. Beneath the soil, its root system can extend inches or even feet, spidering into the earth and fueling soil health.
An archival collection of over 1,000 images of root systems reveals the hidden world of plants. It s the work of Austrian botanist Lore Kutschera and other researchers at the Plant Sociological Institute in Austria. Over the course of 40 years, they collaborated on an enormous root atlas that maps the underground trajectories of common European plants, from Acanthosicyos horridus, a melon, to zygophyllum, flowering plants. The images are online thanks to Wageningen University & Research, a Dutch university known for its agricult
