Dogfish Head Brewery is going festive this holiday period. The renowned Delaware brewery just dropped an advent calendar aptly named 24 Days of Dogfish Head. In it, craft enthusiasts will find a mix of beers, RTD cocktails, and brand merch like coozies.

For a cool $100, craft enthusiasts are treated to a bevy of drinks to guide them through December towards Christmas. It’s part of a larger trend capitalizing both on the tradition of festive imbibing around the holidays and the ease with which today’s consumers can special order alcohol and have it delivered right to their doorstep. And, it’s kinda fun.

Contents range from staple beers like the 60 Minute IPA to relatively new cocktails in a can and even beer soap. There are limited release beers and the packaging fits the flavor of the season. It’s a great way to celebrate a special time of year, especially with your beer-loving family and friends. The extra heady nature of many of Dogfish Head’s beers make for ideal sippers around the fire on brisk evenings.

Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione has been revered within the craft beer arena. While the brand merged with Boston Beer Company back in 2019, it remains focused on the craft ethos. The advent calendar is currently available here, shipping to most states. No word on the exact production range of the calendar, so get it early if it’s something of interest.

This season, enjoy seasonal fare like our favorite stout beers and winter-ready IPAs. Here’s to a merry season.

The Finger Lakes Region might be known for its wine, but don’t sleep on its beer

Come for the wine, but stay for the Finger Lakes beer

Big aLICe

If you know anything about the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, it's that the area is an excellent spot for summer vacations, with eleven lakes spanning 9,000 square miles from the Syracuse region to Rochester. It's a fantastic area of the country for camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, and boating. It's also a well-known destination for wine-centric vacations due to its many wineries scattered throughout the lakes (over 130 wineries). But if you're only visiting the region for wine and hiking, you're missing out on some outstanding breweries. I've lived in the Finger Lakes Region for my whole life. I've noticed that, like in much of the country, in the last few decades, the area has become home to countless noteworthy, award-winning breweries with more seemingly springing up every few months.
The Finger Lakes Region is a beer destination

The Finger Lakes Region is great for a beer-centered road trip or vacation. While mostly well-known for its vibrant wine culture, it's also an up-and-coming beer destination.

On the heels of the revamped classic beer campaign, Guinness has collaborated on an ice cream. The iconic brand joined forces with Van Leeuwen to create a chocolatey treat made with the beer. The "Lovely Day for a Guinness" ice cream features chocolate chunks and some stout thrown in for good measure.

The special summer dessert can be purchased via Van Leeuwen. It's also available at select scoop shops throughout the nation. The custom container features some of the eye-catching artwork that corresponds with the beer brand's original campaign, which dates back to the 1950s.

Here’s the lineup for the highly-anticipated 2025 Bourbon County beer drop

It's official, the 2025 Bourbon County Stout beers are here. The annual release from Goose Island, one of the most anticipated in the craft beer movement, involves six mouth-watering barrel-aged stout beers. This year's drop touches on everything from baklava to praline.

The release of a half-dozen beers is intriguing, per usual. The 2025 lineup includes the original stout, one inspired by cherries jubilee, and one that tastes like chocolate praline. There's also a beer inspired by baklava, a double barrel stout aged in bourbon barrels from Heaven Hill Distillery, and a reserve stout aged in American whiskey barrels from Parker's Heritage Collection.
