American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.
It’s Father’s Day this Sunday and if you haven’t already started thinking about what you’ll be giving your dad this weekend – now’s the time. And since just about every dad we know enjoys beer, we thought it might be helpful to ask our American Craft Beer correspondents for their Father’s Day suggestions. And guess what? Your search for the perfect Father’s Day gift just got a whole lot easier…
Lindsay Snyder’s our Wisconsin-based correspondent, and she’s thinking that for dad, it’s not just about the beer – it’s also about the grilling – so why not get some barbeque sauce made with beer? Lone Star Beer Texas Style BBQ Sauce might be perfect for that grilling and drinking dad of yours and you can even have it shipped in a rustic burlap gift bag. She’s also likes the Personalized Beer Flight Set so dad can go “pro” at his next neighborhood beer tasting.
Our mid-Atlantic correspondent, DC Steve, thinks a getaway for dad might be the way to go. But not just any getaway – the Dogfish Head 360 Experience is a two-day summer weekend package that includes:
- Two nights’ accommodations for two in the Brewmaster’s Suite at The Inn at Canal Square in the heart of Historic Lewes.
- Dogfish Head soap, shampoo, and accessories and cold Dogfish brews in the fridge.
- A Saturday morning dolphin kayak tour for two with Quest Kayak.
- A Saturday evening boat tour aboard the S.S. Dogfish from The Inn at Canal Square to Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats Brewpub in Rehoboth Beach (including transportation back to the inn).
- A $50 gift certificate to Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats brewpub.
- A Dogfish Head T-shirt (one per person).
- Access to an in-room library of beer books and music CDs of national bands that have performed at the Dogfish Head Brewpub.
Warren Wills, our Portland, Oregon-based correspondent, likes the Father’s Day Gift Box from Rogue Ales that includes three 22 oz. bombers of Dad’s Little Helper Black IPA and two Rogue pint glasses to enjoy them in!
Leave it to our Florida Correspondent Jeanna Malines to come up with this one! Your dad probably doesn’t have his own Personalizable Beer Holster but we’re thinking he should! Perfect for backyard BBQs, parties, or tailgating, this handy holster keeps a bottle of beer right where it belongs–right by dad’s side. Rugged and durable, it snaps to any standard belt and comes fitted with adjustable nylon straps for added comfort and support.
Amber Medin is our Social Media Director as well as our Dallas Rep and she’s thinking that dad might enjoy a Necktie Bottle Opener from Monday Night Brewing. She also reminded us that Oskar Blues makes a whole series of Hot Sauces that go perfectly with their beers and can be shipped in 12 bottle cases.
And finally, Nick Villaume, our Technical Samurai in Atlanta, suggests that you simply buy dad the 2013 American Craft Beer Classic Tee. This year’s classic is a high-quality, heavy-duty, designer T-shirt, available in both black and red variations, featuring the ACB logo proudly so Dad can let the world know that when he’s drinking beer…..it’s American Craft Beer.
