Father’s Day is this Sunday, 6/16. Three cheers for the goofy peepaws, the chill daddios, and the upstanding patriarchs! There are as many different ways to be a father figure as there are BJCP-recognized beer styles, and we raise a glass to all of them this weekend. Check out our pairing recommendations for each dad vibe. And don’t forget that if his tastes run the full gamut, you can always break off singles and build your own mixpack. Head on in and let us help you or shop online for some of our suggestions!
“IF IT AIN’T BROKE, DON’T FIX IT” POPS
While a “Fresh New Faces” Spotify playlist can be a trip, ain’t nothing wrong with sticking with those 20x-platinum albums!
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a staple in our singles cooler and a steal at $1.99/16oz. Also, timeless classics like Bell’s Amber Ale, New Belgium Fat Tire, Stone IPA, and Sweetwater 420 are evergreen around here.
SPORTY ZADDY
For the health-conscious, sober-curious, or “I’m trying to cut back” dad, we have an enormous and ever-expanding selection of non-alcoholic beers. Just to name a handful: Guinness 0 N/A Draught, Best Day Brewing Kölsch & Electro-Lime, Untitled Art Italian Style Pils & Juicy IPA, Athletic Brewing Co. Lemon Radler, and Lagunitas IPNA.
PUCKER-LOVING PAPA
If your dad’s palate is most tickled by Warheads and whiskey sours, we have a diverse array of acid-forward beers. We’ve got oodles of both poolside-friendly kettle sours and complex, traditional method spontaneous ferments.
Some of the fan faves and new releases include:
Weldwerks Brewing Co. Pineapple Pie & Tropical Lemonade
Prairie Artisan Ales Tiny Esses Sour Ale w/ Fruit Candy Flavor
Untitled Art x Juicy Brewing Co. Blueberry Upside Down Fruited Sour
Destihl Brewery Dill Pickle Sour Beer
Evil Twin Make it Fruity Cherry Limeade Weisse
Two Tides Layerz w/ Banana, Passionfruit, Pineapple, Tangerine and Coconut
Jester King Atrial Rubicite
Fonta Flora 2023 Three Year Blend Appalachian Gueuze-Inspired Ale
De Garde The Armagandias
Oude Rhubarbe Tilquin à l'Ancienne
LUPULIN THRESHOLD-SHIFTED PATERFAMILIAS
Founder of Russian River Brewing Vinnie Cilurzo coined the phrase “lupulin threshold shift” to describe the phenomenon of diehard IPA consumers craving more and more bitterness in their beers, the more experience they had with 70+ IBU brews.
If your dad has been bitten by the bine, shall we say, we have several hop-blasted West Coast IPAs that are clear-pouring, lactose-free-zones.
Monday Night Slap Fight
Destihl Brewery Deadhead IPA
Aslin Beer Co. Clear Nights
Fonta Flora Chip Rack
Phase Three Brewing Herbasaurus
HAZEBRO DADDIO
If, on the other hand, the father figure in your life loves a lactose/oat/wheat-heavy late-hopping-only brew, we always have plenty of plush, low-bitterness, hazy IPAs as well!
Right now, some of our hottest hazies include:
Fast Fashion Hidden Gems
Three Taverns Hazy on Ponce
Other Half Green City & Forever Ever
Hi-Wire x Bearded Iris Periphery
Resident Culture x Edmund’s Oast Mixed Tapes: New England Jams
Make sure to take advantage of this tasty deal! Every Tuesday starting June 18th at our Krog bar! We love a good sandwich collab.
