Beer Gift Ideas For Dad On Fathers Day

Are you looking for ideas on Father’s Day gifts for that special beer loving man in your life? If so, take a look at these ideas:

Beer Tasting Set: A set of specialized beer glasses designed to enhance the flavor and aroma of different beer styles. Look for a set that includes glasses for different types of beer, such as pilsners, IPAs, stouts, and wheat beers.

Toxic Traits: Craft Beer Edition

I am assuming if you are reading this you are a craft beer lover. I also am assuming that many of you have your own quirks or as I referred to them on my Instagram page, “toxic” traits when it comes to drinking craft beer. For example, my “toxic” trait is that I rarely finish all of my beer. 90% of the time I leave just a little in the bottom of my glass. Why do I do this? I have no idea.

Battle of the Beers: Non Alcoholic Edition

It seems that in the last year or so non alcoholic beer has been trending. More and more people want to enjoy the taste of beer without the calories or alcohol. I have tried 4 different N/A beers and I will share my rating and thoughts below. **Full disclosure, the beers from Nirvana were gifted, but the opinions I will share are my own.*

10 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started…

I’ve been in the “craft beer game” for ten years now, and there are a few things I wish I knew before I started my journey.

It is more of a marathon than a race. There are SO many breweries to explore and even more beer to try. You will NEVER get to them all. Don’t feel like you have to visit them all or try every beer. You will quickly be burnt out (and broke) if you do.
Speaking of money, craft beer isn’t exactly cheap. When you go to a brewery be prepared to spend anywhere from $5-$8 on a beer. Yes, domestic beer is cheaper, however, remember what you’re paying for when you buy craft. You are supporting local and you are probably getting fresher (and tastier) beer.
Most craft beer drinkers are not “Beer Snobs” like you have probably heard. When I first got into beer I was nervous that maybe I wouldn’t be accepted into the community because I was still learning. The majority of craft beer drinkers are helpful and welcoming. Don’t let what others say scare you away.

Would You Rather: Craft Beer Edition

The other day I asked my followers on Instagram to play a game of Would You Rather, but with a twist. All the questions (for the most part) connected to craft beer. I started off with coming up with some questions, and then I let my followers take over and create questions. Below I will share what they thought and if I agreed or disagreed with the majority and why.

Some Great Beers: Times When Beer Just Tastes Better

Recently I asked some of my followers to share with me when beer just tastes a bit better to them. You know those days, the days when you crack open a beer after a terrible day at work, and the beer is just so much more than just a beer. Let’s see what they came up with.

Beer Assumptions: What People Really Think About Craft Beer…

Recently I asked people on both my Instagram and Facebook what they REALLY think about craft beer drinkers. Some answers were humorous, some I found factual, others I don’t quite agree with. Let’s take a look at what was shared with me…

People paying too much money for weird lagers.
They must have money!

Snobs, looking down on the rest of the poor beer drinkers.
Confusing
Arrogant!
Pretentious dickbags
Nerds
Just something I’d never understand.
