Fun Fact of the day: A Brewery in Canada Makes Beer Using Water from 20,000-Year-Old Icebergs
Everyone wants their beer to be cool and refreshing, but one Canadian brewery also wants their beer to be as pure as possible. That鈥檚 why Quidi Vidi Brewery in Newfoundland and Labrador harvests water directly from icebergs that are up to 20,000 years old and float down the area鈥檚 Iceberg Alley. According to NPR, 鈥淭he ice formed tens of thousands of years ago from compacted snow 鈥� [which] means there are no minerals and lots of tiny bubbles trapped inside. It gives the golden beer a special, very light taste.鈥�

In case you missed it: COVID-19 controls tightened as cases rise and possible second wave looms
The looming prospect of a second wave of COVID-19 this fall has governments cautiously monitoring daily infection rates as economies restart and students return to school.
A widespread return of economic and social restrictions that closed businesses and schools and cancelled public events in March is not the preferred option, but there may be no choice, say politicians and health officials.
鈥淭he last thing that anyone wants is to have to once again shut down our economies and suspend our lives to try and counter a massive second wave,鈥� Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said last week.
He stressed public vigilance to fight the pandemic, frequent hand washing, mask wearing and physical distancing, because 鈥渁s we鈥檙e seeing with cases rising across the country, we are not out of the woods.鈥�
