American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.
Father’s Day is this Sunday, and if you haven’t purchased something for Dad yet, all is not lost. American Craft Beer has five Father’s Day gift ideas sure to please that beer-loving Dad of yours and bail your sorry ass out at the same time.
An American Craft Beer Sampler
Many beer retailers and grocery stores like Whole Foods now sell 12-oz bottles of craft beer individually. So blow Dad’s mind by presenting him with a 24-case of American craft beers personally curated by you.
And don’t play it safe. In addition to that more predictable IPA play, push the envelope a little. And let the retailer know what you’re doing –sometimes they’ll cut you a break and save you a buck or two.
Take Dad To A Serious Craft Beer Restaurant
There are now more new and noteworthy restaurants featuring great craft beer oriented cuisine than ever before…so make that reservation NOW!
San Francisco’s The Monk’s Kettle, San Diego’s Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens Liberty Station and Washington DC’s Birch and Barley are all wonderful restaurants that take craft beer seriously (and know how to cook for it).
Introduce Dad To The Art Of Homebrewing
Homebrewing has grown exponentially over the last decade with more people learning to brew at home than ever before.
So hit your local Homebrewing store and get your Dad hooked up with a home brewing starter kit. Or if he’s already brewing at home hook him up with something delicious like BrewDog Punk IPA Kit.
Craft Beer Gift Certificates
There are a number of wonderful craft beer sites on-line nowadays, that cater specifically to beer lovers and bring together the best of the best in beer-related products and swag.
One of our favorite sites (and also an ACB sponsor) is BEERloved and they offer gift cards that can be delivered via email, printed up and slipped into your Father’s Day card.
Craft Beer Road Trippin’ With Dad
Dad never sees you enough as it…So why not plan the ultimate craft beer road trip for you and him? Hit some of our nation’s scenic back roads and enjoy some serious beers at beautiful farmstead breweries like Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY.
Maybe set up a designated driver to be sure that things don’t end ugly. And be sure to take advantage of the many craft beer trails that so many States have now mapped out.
Montana has a wonderful system of craft beer trails, but so do a lot of states (and you can find some great ones HERE.)
