Athletes and coaches often share common interests with everyday fans, and Indiana’s head football coach Curt Cignetti is no exception. After a long day, it seems Cignetti looks forward to enjoying a beer, much like many of us do. This has sparked a playful debate about what type of beer he might choose postgame.

Here are some interesting predictions from various voices in the Indiana sports community:

• Colin believes Cignetti’s high standards lead him to favor Miller High Life, though he might opt for a more robust option like Bell’s Two Hearted depending on the game’s outcome.

• LC speculates Cignetti likely has a reliable selection of local options, like Hoosier Gameday Lager or something more intense like 3 Floyds Gumballhead or Rhinegeist Truth.

• @CheesyCheesy3 suggests he’s a “drink what’s around” kind of guy and guesses he’d go for Coors.

• @GucciGrimace envisions Cignetti as a no-frills person, choosing a simple Miller Lite at the end of the day.

• @BtownMoose thinks a Coors Light would satisfy both his need for a dependable choice and his serious demeanor.

• @BabarEsq questions Cignetti’s beer-drinking qualities but concludes he’s likely knocking back I.C. Lights while still passionate about his roots.

• @Tommy_Crimes suspects that Cignetti, known for his drive for excellence, would lean towards classic options like Miller Lite or PBR.

• @W_B_Rick is convinced that Miller Lite embodies Cignetti’s consistent, hard-working ethos.

• @HoosierSpeaker believes he prefers Coors Banquet, indicating a desire for quality without pretense.

• @TheMopLady throws in the idea of Yuengling, tying back to Cignetti’s Pennsylvania roots.

With such a variety of preferences, one thing is clear: wherever Cignetti places his postgame order, fans will be curious about how it matches his coaching style. The focus on simplicity, local pride, and authenticity reflects the values that resonate not just in football, but in the beer choices many of us make after a long day.

Rumors are swirling about a possible romance between singer Madison Beer and NFL quarterback Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers. The speculation began in August when the two were spotted together in Los Angeles, following Herbert’s appearance at one of Beer’s photoshoots. Although they haven’t publicly confirmed their relationship, the sighting ignited fan excitement.

Madison Beer, 26, recently opened up in an interview with Cosmopolitan, describing herself as a "relationship person" who finds joy in connecting deeply with others. She expressed that her partners don’t need to fit a specific mold, as emotional connection is what truly matters to her. Interestingly, this revelation came just months after she described her intense relationship with social media influencer Nick Austin, hinting that she is someone who quickly forms attachments.

On September 5, 2025, the Chargers played against the Kansas City Chiefs in São Paulo, Brazil, with some fans crediting Beer for possibly influencing Herbert’s performance during the game, although this was said in jest.

Notably, in late August, photos of Beer and Herbert casually hanging out emerged, depicting them engaging in leisurely activities—Beer carrying a bottle of wine and Herbert with a Rummikub set—suggesting a cozy friendship, or perhaps more. Earlier that month, Herbert was also seen visiting Beer while she was working on a shoot.

While the timeline of events suggests that their connection might be blossoming, both Beer and Herbert have yet to make any official statements about their relationship status.

For updates on their journey, keep an eye on entertainment news and social media platforms where such celebrity rumors often unfold.

For the first time ever, Chautauqua Institution is serving beer and wine in its renowned amphitheater, a significant milestone as it faces financial hurdles. This new service was launched during a concert featuring Bonnie Raitt, where attendees were allowed to buy alcoholic beverages and bring them into the venue.

Vanessa Weinert, a representative from Chautauqua, commented, "For the first time in Chautauqua’s history at the amphitheater, we will be doing concessions inside of the amphitheater." Patrons can now choose from a variety of drinks, including sauvignon blanc and sparkling rosé, which can be enjoyed during performances.

This shift marks a departure from Chautauqua’s long-standing policy of a dry campus, a tradition that had been upheld until concessions were first allowed in 2017. Weinert highlighted the historical context, referencing a local phenomenon of "Chautauqua tea" that has been humorously questioned regarding its true contents.

The decision to sell alcohol follows a period of significant financial strain for the institution, which has seen a drop in ticket sales and a decrease in Canadian visitors, along with a budget deficit. Kyle Keough, the interim CEO, discussed the institution’s struggles, noting a decline in attendance post-COVID and a need for substantial budget adjustments, estimated between $4 million to $6 million for the upcoming season.

To adapt, Chautauqua is looking to host more major concerts beyond its usual nine-week season, including the addition of alcohol sales at the amphitheater, following the model of other major performance venues.

Richard Zorn, venue operations manager, was busy preparing for this launch, hopeful that the new offerings would enhance the concert experience.

The move to serve alcohol is part of broader efforts by the Chautauqua Institution to revitalize attendance and ensure financial sustainability in a rapidly changing environment.

The esteemed 21st Amendment Brewery, a cornerstone of the Bay Area craft beer scene, has announced it will be shutting down both its brewpub in San Francisco and its production facility in San Leandro. Co-founders Shaun O’Sullivan and Nico Freccia revealed that they will wind down operations in the coming months after 25 years of business.

Founded in 2000, 21st Amendment Brewery initially started as a brewpub and became notable for canning its beers, pioneering a movement that has since transformed the craft beer industry. The brewery expanded significantly in 2015 when it opened a large facility in San Leandro, becoming widely recognized for distributing its products across the U.S. and even engaging in contract brewing for other brands.

However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted sales, coupled with a general decline in beer consumption post-pandemic. To adapt, they sought a financial partner and attempted to diversify their offerings with alternative beverages like energy drinks. Despite these efforts, sales never rebounded to pre-pandemic levels, prompting their financial partner to withdraw support.

In light of these challenges, O’Sullivan and Freccia have made the difficult decision to close both locations. They plan to celebrate their legacy over the next few months, with the brewpub’s closure possibly aligning with the San Francisco Giants’ last home game on September 28. Meanwhile, they are seeking potential buyers for the brand and brewery assets and will finalize their production of popular brews like “Brew Free! Or Die Blood Orange IPA” in the meantime.
