Blackrocks Brewery is a craft brewery in Marquette, Michigan, United States. Taking the name from a local landmark, former pharmaceutical salesmen David Manson and Andy Langlois opened Blackrocks in 2010. They originally brewed their products in the basement of a Victorian-style house (pictured), and the building's two other floors were used as a taproom. By 2013, persistent high demand for Blackrocks' beer led Manson and Langlois to expand their brewing capacity, including the purchase and conversion of a former Coca-Cola bottling plant. In the early 2020s, they expanded Blackrocks' taproom into an adjacent property, which doubled its available indoor area. Blackrocks produced 12,687 barrels of beer in 2023, up about 11 percent from the year prior, and they are the largest craft brewery in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Their most popular beer is 51K, an American IPA named for a local ski marathon. (Full article...)

Takht-i-Bahi are the ruins of a 1st-century CE Buddhist monastery complex located in what was once the ancient Indian region of Gandhara, in the present-day northern Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is representative of Buddhist monastic architecture from its era and the ruins were listed as a World Heritage Site in 1980, with UNESCO describing it as having been "exceptionally well-preserved". Pictured here is an aerial view of the complex, showing its various chambers and courtyards.
