Swords Into Brewpubs: How Veterans Build Breweries
American soldiers can't drink when they're fighting overseas, but returning vets can work wonders in the brewery.
Among the thousands of beers that will be drank near Fort Bragg this Fourth, there will be at least one that got its start in the war zone of Iraq. Working as medics in a Baghdad hospital, becoming numb to the wounds of war that they treated around the clock, Gerald Montero and two other medics spent their downtime talking about all the beer they would drink and make upon their return. When Eric Whealton, Tito Valenzuela, and Montero all finished their tours and arrived at Fort Bragg, they found a community perfect for launching their inaugural brew, Dirtbag Ales.

Why Do We Love Michael Bay's Cinematic "Bayhem"?
The good news is Michael Bay's success proves we're all visually sophisticated. But we're also visually illiterate.

Titillating Fact: Two months before I started at Fast Company, I went on a parabolic flight with NASA. I panicked during the first few seconds of floating; I was convinced I, or the plane, had flipped upside down. One of my most vivid memories is seeing the seat belts rise toward the ceiling. I didn't vomit, thanks to the scopolamine injection I got right before the flight, but the anti-nausea drug did make me feel a bit stoned. I was there to cover a neat student experiment that tested whether a portable ultrasound machine works in zero gravity.
