Year number three for the Gift Guide here. I haven’t changed much from last year. Added s couple of items and made some adjustment. In any event, if your favorite beer lover has everything on this list, I can’t help you. Odds are, you’ll find a gift or two that’s perfect. 1. Hydro Flask Growler…
Last year’s Gift Guide proved to be a popular post, so I thought I’d update it with a few new items and revisit ones from the past. Some I’ve even thoroughly tested since first suggesting them. Now that Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday are out of the way we can get down…
One look in my wardrobe will tell you plenty. Between the running gear and beer-related shirts, two of my favorite activities are readily apparent. And while I wouldn’t call it a problem, I’m always on the lookout for more. Thus, when Margaret Blount, founder of BrewerShirts with her husband Dave, asked if I’d like to…
It never fails. On every trip I take, I find beer I want to bring home. While I can always throw it into the cooler in the truck when we’ve driven somewhere, flying brings added challenges.

They’ll keep you cool in the summer while you’re drinking your favorite craft brew…
There are many styles of growlers out in the beer world these days, from the traditional glass, half gallon growler, to plastic and stainless steel containers, ceramic jugs and party pigs. The Montana Legislature even made it clear this session we can have growler’s filled anywhere beer is served from a tap. Now, Flathead Lake…
