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.”

Portland's Baerlic Brewing is ringing in the summer season with a refreshing new beer. The west coast brewery just released the latest batch of Nice & Easy, a gose style beer made with salt harvested from the Pacific Ocean. The slightly briny beer has roots in Germany and is an excellent option for those who like a little salty marine air in their beer.

The brand rightfully calls it the Gatorade of beer, thanks to that slight saline aspect. The nose reminds of sweet oats and there's brightness about the beer thanks to a tart finish. If you need some suds for the beach or just the makeshift pool in your backyard, this is your beer.

Whiskey in a glass

So, you splurged and bought that expensive bottle of whiskey you’ve eyed every time you stopped by your local liquor store to grab a new bottle of Elijah Craig Small Batch or Knob Creek 9 Year. If I’ve learned anything in the almost 20 years I’ve been writing professionally about alcohol, it’s that good things (whiskey) come to those who wait.

You waited and finally forked over the few hundred dollars (or more) that were required to get your hands on that highly sought-after, hard-to-find small batch bourbon — after all, the time was right to treat yourself. Maybe it’s your birthday, or perhaps you’re simply hosting a party and want to look like a baller. For whatever reason, you purchased an expensive bottle of whiskey. What now? Well, I'll tell you what you never do with that expensive whiskey.
