Flying Point Brewery brews upwards of 150 barrels a day, or about 2,000 cases. Baker Machado heads to the New Jersey brewery for a guided tour from founder Gene Muller. He walks us through the facility's high-tech equipment, and takes us through a beer's journey from the brewing vat to the bottle.
Flying Fish prides itself on its sustainability. Muller breaks down the tech the brewery uses to keep its environmental footprint to a minimum. This year alone, Muller says his company will recycle more than 750 tons of used brewer's grain to be used as cattle feed. Flying Fish also generates reusable hot water by condensing the steam from its brew kettle.
Muller also discusses the company's history. It started as the world's first virtual microbrewery in 1995. He opened the original brewery in 1996 before moving to the much-larger current location in 2012. Finally, Baker and Muller share a toast with a minutes-old bottle of freshly-brewed beer.

A big-screen adaptation of the anime “Chainsaw Man” has topped the North American box office, beating a Springsteen biopic and “Black Phone 2.” The movie earned $17.25 million in the U.S. and Canada this weekend. “Black Phone 2” fell to second place with $13 million. Two new releases, the rom-com “Regretting You” and “Springsteen — Deliver Me From Nowhere,” earned $12.85 million and $9.1 million, respectively. “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc” is based on the manga series about a demon hunter. It's another win for Sony-owned Crunchyroll, which also released a “Demon Slayer” film last month that debuted to a record $70 million.
The Federal Aviation Administration says flights departing for Los Angeles International Airport were halted briefly due to a staffing shortage at a Southern California air traffic facility. The FAA issued a temporary ground stop at one of the world’s busiest airports on Sunday morning soon after U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy predicted that travelers would see more flights delayed as the nation’s air traffic controllers work without pay during the federal government shutdown. The hold on planes taking off for LAX lasted an hour and 45 minutes and didn't appear to cause continued problems. The FAA said staffing shortages also delayed planes headed to Washington, Chicago and Newark, New Jersey on Sunday.
