The holidays are right around the corner and, let’s be honest, they can’t get here soon enough. The Big Man may be loading some extra coal onto his sleigh this year, but that doesn’t mean we should do away with good spirit and cheer. In these trying times, I find connection and community (and beer) are a suitable remedy for a case of the bah humbugs.
Set The Scene
This time of year, I’m nagged by nostalgia. I recall in the late 1900s… apologies, I had to wipe the dust off my keyboard after typing that out… where was I, ah yes, the year was 1996, maybe ‘97. Eyes aglow, I unwrap a box to uncover a Nintendo 64. Needless to say, I was an exhilarated grinagog, and I’ve been searching for that same feeling ever since. Other memories entail cookies, snow days, and advent calendars with chocolates, mints, bouncy balls and jacks hidden behind its doors. Someone should bring back those calendars and gear them toward adults tired of reminiscing over the ghosts of Christmases past. Enter scene, a brewery, of all things.
The Details
Move over Red Ryder Carbine-action, 200-shot range model air rifle, this is a job for beer. Thanks to the craft beer pioneers over at Dogfish Head, you no longer have to peruse the interwebs endlessly in search of the perfect gift for the craft beer lover in your life. It’s worth noting that it is totally acceptable if that person is you. Behold, the 24 Days of Dogfish Head Package. This perfectly put-together parcel contains Dogfish goodies galore aka ten beers, six RTD cocktails, eight pieces of merch and a partridge in a pear tree. Okay, the partridge might be a stretch, but who wants a partridge anyway?
How does one secure such a sweet assortment of sudsy selections? Dogfish will release these at their Milton Brewery and Off-Centered EmPOURium in Rehoboth Beach, DE on Black Friday (November 29th). Not local to Delaware, traveling out of state for Thanksgiving, or simply opting outside that day? Never fear, the package will also be released on GiveThemBeer.com on December 2nd for $99. However you choose to shop, whether in person or online, know that quantities of the 24 Days of Dogfish Head Package are limited and expected to move quickly. Happy hunting this holiday season.
