Ah, the magical world of malted beverages! We can practically overflow with ideas to make your beer-ventures even more intoxicatingly fun.
Barley Believable
- Be a Tourist in Your Own Town: Even if you’ve been to one of the breweries before, seek out a new one to expand your horizons together.
- Channel Your Inner Beer Critic: Create a shared notecard or use a phone app to rate each beer, noting flavors, aromas, and your overall impressions for a fun comparison.
- Brewery Tour Upgrade: Many breweries offer in-depth tours. Learn about the brewing process for a greater appreciation of your favorite beverage.
Hoppy Endings
- Foodie Focus: Some breweries have great food menus. Pair your flights with gourmet bites, or make a reservation for a full brewery restaurant experience.
- Games & Chill: Find out if the brewery hosts trivia nights, has board games available, or has live music for some post-tasting entertainment.
- Themed Flights: If available, ask if the brewery offers flights based on specific themes (hoppy beers, dark beers, seasonal flavors, etc.).
- Designated Driver Plan: Decide beforehand if one of you will limit the tastings, use a ride-sharing app, or have a pre-arranged way to get home safely.
Bonus Tip: If you find a beer you both love, grab a growler or some cans to enjoy later at home. Alternatively, you can try to create your own style at home together with an at-home kit!
