Let’s get down to business
for our annual Last-Minute Gift Guide!
Since I am doing so much more
than just covering the best libation in the world—beer—here are a few events and items worth purchasing for that
special dad out there who deserves it. So whether it’s on a fork, in a cup, at
a location, or something he can enjoy daily, these will certainly beat a tacky
tie he will only wear if you beg him to. I am also Tweeting dining specials and
other ideas throughout Atlanta and beyond here so look for that as well.
Cheers!

I
say: I’m a hop head and the
IPA is my favorite style as the result. This book will help those who feel the
same whether it’s brewing, knowing what to look for, or simply learning more
about what the most prominent three-letter term in the beer business is all
about. Books last forever so why not show the brilliant brewer and author Dick Cantwell love? Go here
to book one.
They
say: We are in the
“heyday of IPA,” according to renowned brewer Dick Cantwell. Experimental
flavors and new hop varieties are appearing as risk takers aim to make beer
that stands out from the crowd. In his new book, Brewing Eclectic
IPA: Pushing the Boundaries of India Pale Ale (Brewers
Publications; June 4, 2018), Cantwell shares the latest trends, exciting
techniques, and true story behind the most popular style of craft beer: the
IPA. Among the most well-respected and experienced craft brewers in the world,
Cantwell provides tips and insights for beer lovers, first-time brewers, and
industry veterans alike.

I
say: I went by the Uno de 50 store
in Lenox Mall and couldn’t leave without rocking one of their bracelets
for men on my wrist. Hook Pops up
with one if he wants to step his wrist game up! They also have silver-plated
chain necklaces, wide rings, watches and key rings, ya heard?
They
say: If you’re
unfamiliar with UNOde50, get ready to swoon. The distinctive jewelry brand born
in Madrid features stunning and timeless pieces for both women and men that are
made using traditional methods as if they were one-of-a-kind. Go here
for more information and help Dad stand out.
