So we whipped out our crafting skills and a bunch of our coworkers got to work hand-cutting and gluing 1300 carpet coasters to every single can for this limited-release.

How CEOs optimise their sleep routine
THIS question for the big boss is one that preoccupies almost everyone I know: How do you optimise sleep? There's a lot of appreciation for night-time rituals, from vitamin regimens to micro meditation sessions and half-hour baths. But there's also an appreciation for just falling asleep the old-fashioned way. As CEO of Uber Technologies, Dara Khosrowshahi operates in a world with an abundance of screentime; unsurprisingly, that used to be part of his resting regimen. 'I used to wear a smart health tracker that rated my sleep, and I absolutely loved it,' he says. 'As someone who is really into data, getting detailed insights was right up my alley.' But eventually, he says, 'I got a little too into it, competing with myself every night'. These days, he employs a completely different sleep hack. 'I've gone back to falling asleep the old-fashioned way – no tracking, just reading.' His advice? 'Get rid of the screens, and you'll be ahead of the game.' Thirty years ago, Sam Calagione helped kick off America's craft beer obsession when he started Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Rehoboth Beach, in the US state of Delaware. (In 2019, the Boston Beer Company acquired it for US$300 million.) Calagione works out for 60 minutes every day, in part to be properly worn out at night. As it happens, he says, 'our best-selling beer is called 60 Minute IPA'. But his real sleep tip is to relax before bed. 'I take a half-hour bath every evening, below a giant photograph of Andre 3000 playing a flute. It calms me as I read, but it freaks my wife, Mariah, out a bit, which may be why we have separate bathrooms,' he says. 'I've been lucky in that I've always been able to sleep, despite my 20 espressos a day,' jokes Konstantin Sidorov, CEO of the London Technology Club, a UK-based venture capital fund. (It's most recent launch, in May, was the US$250 million VC Secondary Fund.) 'I typically have a late, sociable dinner with fine wine, which I'm sure helps.' On the opposite end of the spectrum, another of his sleep secrets is staying active. 'No matter how busy my schedule is, I always work out at least twice a week – wherever I am in the world.' Sidorov also takes advantage of his hectic travel schedule to nap: 'I have no problem sleeping on a plane, travelling to and from our investor hubs in Hong Kong and Dubai.' In 2024, Rayni Williams, CEO and co-founder of The Beverly Hills Estates, closed over US$1.3 billion in house sales; her clients include actors Jeremy Renner and Angelina Jolie, and developer Bruce Makowsky. Sleep is non-negotiable, she says, and she's developed a very specific routine to help her maximise it. 'I take magnesium, zinc and ATP (a cellular energy supplement), along with a cortisol balancer to help regulate stress levels.' And that's just the start. 'A relaxing shower, followed by a full skincare and self-care regimen, helps signal to my body that it's time to rest,' she says. 'I'll often journal to clear my mind and always incorporate deep breathing work to centre myself before bed. A few nights a week, I use my Shani Darden red-light mask. This helps boost collagen; it only needs 15 minutes, so I will do a meditation simultaneously.' Tony Tjan is the CEO of MiniLuxe, a national nail-care brand that offers nail and body services and non-toxic products; it brought in over US$26 million in revenue in 2024. Sleep is not Tjan's speciality, but he says he's been trying to be better. 'The biggest shift has been a routine that includes a micro session of meditation with a sound bowl,' he says. 'Then, earlier to bed and super early to rise. I'll never forget a saying that Tom Brady once shared with me: 'You can't be soaring with the eagles in the morning if you are hooting with owls late at night!'' A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up The Carlsberg Group has been brewing beer in Copenhagen since the 1840s. Two years ago, Jacob Aarup-Andersen took over as CEO of Carlsberg, whose 2024 reported earnings hit almost US$11 billion. One of his current priorities is expanding the company's non-alcoholic beer portfolio, which complements his own personal focus on health: 'If I wake up earlier than planned, I don't fight it. I get up and get going. Trying to squeeze in more sleep often leaves me groggy and throws off my rhythm for days.' Instead, he says, 'I use that extra time to work out or run, which helps me reset and sleep deeply the following nights. It's about listening to your body.' 'This might sound counterproductive, but my best hack for a good night's sleep is to make time for a nap – at least 40 minutes a day,' says Michael Kirban. He's the co-founder and executive chairman of the Vita Coco Company, a popular coconut water brand. In 2024, Vita Coco hit US$516 million in sales of its boxed beverages. About naps, Kirban continues: 'They help me turn my brain off more easily when I go to bed at night.' Peter McGuinness knows his way around major food companies. In 2022 he became CEO of the plant-based meat company Impossible Foods, following a run as president of popular yoghurt company Chobani. What he's not so good at is optimising sleep. 'That's not a good thing to brag about,' he says. 'I'm not philosophically against sleep. I just don't do a good job.' Part of the reason, he says, is his busy travel schedule, which has him navigating time changes: 'I'm on a plane a lot. It's enough to be disruptive and throw your biorhythms off.' McGuinness has also learned to function without a lot of sleep. 'I just kind of power through it. But I'm not too old to learn. So I will make it a priority, or more of a priority.' Amina Belouizdad Porter is CEO of PS, which stands for Private Suite, and operates private terminals at both LAX and ATL that let clients go through private security systems before being escorted to planes. Even as she expands her company nationally, Porter prioritises her downtime. 'We've finally moved past bragging about no sleep. I aim for a consistent seven to eight hours every night. It's non-negotiable.' BLOOMBERG

To Celebrate 30 Years, Dogfish Head Turns Back Time with New Cherry Pale Ale, An Off-Centered Reconstruction of Founder's First-Ever Homebrewed Beer
Dogfish Head Cherry Pale Ale 30th Birthday Box MILTON, Del., July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In honor of its 30th anniversary, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery unveils an off-centered reconstruction of Founder Sam Calagione's first-ever homebrew, Cherry Pale Ale. A liquid time capsule transporting drinkers back to the mid-90s, this limited-edition beer is brewed with Delaware wheat, Maine barley, Cascade hops and boatloads of beautiful cherries for an easy-drinking, summertime sipper with balanced sweet and tart notes of stone fruit. Want to try the beer that started it all? Beginning this Friday, July 18, at noon EST, Dogfish Head's Cherry Pale Ale will be available for purchase within a special 30th birthday box exclusively at Dogfish Head's Cherry Pale Ale 30th birthday box includes a 6pk/12oz cans of Cherry Pale Ale alongside a selection of 90s-inspired Dogfish Head merchandise – a magnet, sticker pack, mini pennant flag and a special Post Tape digital cassette. Priced at just $30 each, including shipping, while supplies last. 'I first brewed Cherry Pale Ale back in 1993, while I was writing the business plan for Dogfish Head,' said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Brewer & Founder. 'After serving it to my roommates and friends at a party in our small New York City apartment, I knew – and proclaimed to everyone – that brewing beer was what I wanted to do with my life. Now, in honor of Dogfish Head's 30th birthday, I couldn't be more excited to share my virgin brew with drinkers near and far!' To make this release of Cherry Pale Ale as authentic as possible, every detail was thoughtfully inspired by Dogfish Head's history and Calagione's first time homebrewing. The beer's recipe includes Delaware wheat and Maine barley, offering loving nods to the brand's bistate roots – Delaware, where the brand was founded and is still rooted today, and Maine, the state housing the jut of land after which Dogfish Head was named. The label artwork, which features a hand-painted cherry, is a recreation of the artwork that adorned Calagione's original homebrew. And to keep things true-to-history, it was created the same way as the original, by Calagione, using a hand-carved potato stamp and finely bristled paint brush. 'Everything about this release holds a special place in my heart, but one of my favorite details has to be the infamous 'carpet coasters,'' said Calagione. 'You're probably thinking, 'carpet coasters' … what the f*ck? Well, when I first brewed Cherry Pale Ale, after heating the bottles in the oven to sanitize them, I placed them on the carpet to cool. Little did I know the heat would melt the carpet to the bottles requiring me to cut a 'coaster' around each bottle. Hey, necessity is the mother of invention … right? So that's why every can of Cherry Pale Ale is lovingly affixed with a hand-crafted carpet coaster of its own.' While Dogfish Head's Cherry Pale Ale 30th birthday box will only be available for purchase online, drinkers in Delaware can pick up a 6pk/12oz cans of Cherry Pale Ale, 'carpet coasters' and all, at Dogfish Head's Milton brewery. Priced at $16 per 6pk/12oz cans. Limited to one 6pk per person. Rooted in coastal Delaware, Dogfish Head opened its doors as the first brewpub in the First State – and one of the smallest commercial breweries in America – in June of 1995. Now, 30 years later, Dogfish Head is one of the largest, most well-known craft breweries in the country, with a production brewery, production distillery and tasting room in Milton; a beer-themed, canal-front hotel in Lewes; and two delectable restaurants in Rehoboth. And while many things have changed over the past three decades, the brewery's raison d'etre has not; Dogfish Head remains committed to providing 'off-centered goodness for off-centered people,' in the forms of beers, spirits, culinary adventures and more.
