You made it through Dry January, but perhaps want to keep things light for a bit.

Enter Bud Light Next, a super crisp light beer with the stats of a seltzer.

At zero carbs and only 80 calories, Bud Light Next breaks the barriers of a traditional lager.

It's made with natural flavors and ingredients like malted barley and rice, and clocks in at 4% ABV — so what we're hearing is it's very easy to have more than one.

This groundbreaking, zero-carb beer is nearly 10 years in the making, meaning that the Bud Light brewers made sure to get it just right before we could get our hands on it.

With a slight citrus note on the end, Bud Light Next might just become your new favorite beer.

Dallas dessert shop Val's Cheesecakes calls it quits on Greenville Ave

A Dallas dessert shop has closed its doors: Val's Cheesecakes, located at 2820 Greenville Ave., closed for good on December 17 after 12 years.

Owner Valery Jean-Bart issued a statement saying that he was ready to move on to new things.

"The time has come to officially close the doors at our Greenville location," he said. "This is not just the end of a chapter; it is the end of a place that has been a huge part of my life and journey. Over the years, we have built something special here, but the time has come to let this space go so we can move forward with clarity and purpose."

Jean-Bart started selling his cheesecakes in 2012 after a career in civil engineering. He took the inspiration from his mother's love of cheesecakes before she passed from breast cancer.

Over the past decade, he had many ups and downs, with other locations that he opened and closed, often abruptly, and more than one closure followed by a reopening.

But he said this time he was closing permanently, calling the past few months "a challenge" but also a reminder of what matters.

"Focusing on friends, family, and my personal life is more important now than ever," he said. "I am leaving this location on my own terms, proud of what we have accomplished and ready for what is next."

What is next is Val's Blue Label, his other shop in the Cedars District at 1112 S. Akard St. which he opened in March 2023 and which is described as an elevated cheesecake experience that also holds classes and workshops.
