Coors Light is doing beer bows for the holidays

A bow with a little extra

From classic Clydesdale cans to fireplace beer dispensers, there’s a festive theme running through the big beer brands at the moment. Coming in right on cue is Coors Light, which has dropped its beer bows in an effort to make average gifts all the better.

The idea is to brighten up those lesser gifts, from socks to staplers. The bows include QR codes giftees can scan for promos and other perks through Coors. First launched earlier this month, the bows will be on sale for a limited time, for those looking to get into the spirit. Coors says bows ordered by the 15th will arrive by Christmas.

While a bowling ball is a perfectly good gift, we understand the sentiment. The so-called “surprise gift bundle” included with the bow offers access to Coors Light merch and a gift card. So, if you’re worried about how your present or White Elephant gift will be received, consider putting a bow on it.

“Whether it’s shipping delays, crowds, or the stress of finding the perfect present, there’s nothing chill about holiday shopping,” said Marcelo Pascoa, vice president of marketing, Coors Family of Brands. “So for the Coors Light fan in your life, our beer bows transform your not-so-great gift into something special worth celebrating.”

Stone follows suit and drops low-octane IPA
Stone Brewing Dayfest IPA.

Anybody who's anybody in the craft beer movement is dropping a session IPA at the moment. Stone Brewing is the latest to do so, a west coast brewery known for its hop-forward offerings. The beer, called Dayfest IPA, is a hoppy lawnmower beer coming in at a refreshing 4.5% ABV.

There's an abundance of tropical fruit to the beer along with some dankness, which IPA-lovers will very much appreciate. The IBU count is a respectable 24 and there's a palpable maltiness one might expect from a bigger-bodied IPA. And it comes just in time for the warmer days of spring and summer, where a day drink or two might seem appropriate.

The latest automated home-brewing machine is an all-in-one beast
Home brewing bottles

Craft appliance company iGulu has a new all-in-one machine to share. The S1, made for home-brewers, does it all, from fermentation and cooling to dispensing the finished product. And good news for those who like sibling beverages, as the S1 can also make cider, kombucha, and even non-alcoholic beer.

Now, because the process is fully-automated, brewing beer with essentially the push of a button, home-brewers might argue over how much involvement one has. Regardless, the machine offers a streamlined experience, one batch at a time. There are a number of beer styles that can be accommodated and each creation serves up about a gallon of beer.

New Belgium toasts the 90s with grape fizz beer
New Belgium Grape Fizz Ale.

Nostalgia and drinks culture are joined at the hip. Just ask the resurgence of Cosmopolitan cocktail recipes on the internet and beyond. Earlier this week, New Belgium Brewing dropped its 2025 summer seasonal release in the Grape Fizz Beer.

The purple brew is inspired by the popular grape sodas of the 1990s. You know, the ones that came in bright cans and poured even brighter in the glass. While this one smells like grape candy (think Jolly Ranchers), the flavor is that of a well made fruited sour beer.
