Drone Doctors
Not just for future deliver-
ies, drones are being used
by researchers at Idaho State
University to detect potato
disease from above. It's clear
that crop diseases in potato
fields can be detected early
and accurately with the help
of high-tech cameras mount-
ed on drones.

PINT O' GRIGIO
DEBUTS
New Era is the first beer-wine
hybrid made from pale ale and
Pinot Grigio by England's Castle
Rock Brewery. The limited-edition
run was such a hit that brewer Dan
Gilliland plans to continue. "When
you consider that both hops and
grapes are vinous plants that are
heavily affected by agriculture,
geography, and weather, especial-
ly flavor wise, it makes a lot of
sense." He's currently talking with
a local vintner to collaborate on
more hybrids and is testing batches
in bottles for retail. Yielding a 7.7-
percent alcohol content, he says,
"The cool citrusy hops play off
the warm and heady gooseberry
notes from the grapes, leaving a
tart dry finish from the wine and
champagne yeast, and one final
sweet kick from the malts."
