DO (& DRINK) CRAFT BEER & YOGAGrabbing a good (and local) craft beer is a classic summer pastime. Taking an indoor athletic activity outside is also a fun way to enjoy the sum-mer sun. Pair those two together and you have yourself a great time. Every Wednesday, JDubs Brewing Co. hosts “Craft Beer & Yoga” on the deck in its beer garden. The local collaboration between the brewery and The Yoga Shack is free to attend, but yogi Meg does accept donations for “yoga wisdom and cool vibes.” Even better — participants receive a 10% bar discount after class. Free, visit 1215 Mango Ave. Call 955-2739.

CHILLKEEP IT COOLKeep your things cool this sum-mer with insulated bags. If you just needed something to keep inside your purse, try out OTG | 247’s #7. It will fit in your tote and keep your things chilly. Headed to the beach or pool? Pick up this watermelon cooler bag from T.

Georgiano’s on First Street. Keep your stuff cool, and look cool while doing it. For OTG |247, visit. otg247.com. For the water-melon cooler bag, visit T. Georgiano’s. Located at 1409 First Street. Call 870-3727.

... OR A RUNYoga not your thing? Try out JDubs’ “Not Quite Friday 5K,” a three-mile run around Ed Smith Stadium and neighbor-ing communities. The run is held at 6 p.m. every Thursday. Following your run, stay for a few drinks, where, again, you'll receive 10% off your tab. Visit 1215 Mango Ave. Call 955-2739.
