Started by Owen Ogletree, Brewtopia gives folks the backstage pass to breweries, pubs, and beer-centric restaurants in well-known beer countries like Germany, Belgium, and the U.K., as well as some surprising places, such as the trip we took to Helsinki and a couple of the Baltic States.

Whether it was raising a ma\u00df<\/em> (pronounced mas<\/em>, this is the German word for a one-liter beer mug) of golden Helles beneath leafy trees at Augustiner-Keller, discovering the underworld of Entla\u2019s Keller in Erlangen, or learning the difference between rotbier<\/em> and rauchbier<\/a><\/em> firsthand, our Untappd x Trip\u2019s Beer Trips Epic German Bier Adventure<\/a> offered something more than just a pint: We found stories.<\/p>\n

This gift is just pure fire. We\u2019re just imagining the fireside chats, gatherings, and beer shares we can have around this 360-degree portable heat source. Made from super durable materials built to withstand the elements, YETI\u2019s new fire pit is a game-changer.

Wrangler x Coors Banquet Collection<\/h3>\n

More and more, we\u2019ve seen breweries not just collabing with each other but reaching out to brands in different spaces for unique partnerships. <\/p>\n

While we aren\u2019t ride-or-die Coors Banquet bros (or bros of anything for that matter), this Wrangler collab has us practicing our yee-haws! <\/p>\n

Celebrating the wildness of the west with the coolness of Colorado, the Wrangler and Coors Banquet Collection<\/a> tips a hat to both of these iconic brands. <\/p>\n

With more than twenty legendary pieces, the collection features highlights such as denim vests with custom Coors embroidery and patches, Western-inspired pullovers, graphic tees, and limited-edition Wrangler\u00ae 13MWZ Cowboy Cut\u00ae Jeans. <\/p>\n

686 x Pabst Blue Ribbon Bring Back the Legendary Cooler Jacket<\/h3>\n
\"686<\/a><\/p>\n

Look, we drank a lot of PBR in our early twenties, so if you know someone like us, chances are they\u2019re just as stoked to see this merch collab. <\/p>\n

A blue ribbon, best, if we do say so. <\/p>\n

\u201cSnowboarding and cheap beer go together like fresh powder and high-fives,\u201d wrote the snowboarder-owned brand 686 and Pabst Blue Ribbon in a press release. <\/p>\n

Designed by French artist Lucas Beaufort, the signature Cooler Jacket<\/a>, nicknamed \u201cthe Sixer,\u201d lives up to its name, with a secret compartment\/cooler built into the back big enough and insulated enough to fit six cans of cold brewskis (see what we did there). <\/p>\n

This jacket is also tricked out with infiDRY\u00ae 10K waterproof fabric, hand-drawn graphics, and just effortless chill. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he is on the session or during the apr\u00e8s, Lucas brings a special kind of raw energy that is both infectious and contagious,\u201d said 686 VP of Marketing Brent Sandor in the press release. \u201cWe have been friends for years and have been waiting for the right project to collaborate on. It seems fitting that Lucas found a way to reignite the 686 x PBR collaboration with his DIY and independent spirit.\u201d <\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t had a PBR in a long time, but we might go back to drinking them if someone gifted us this jacket. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all seen it, right? The imperial pints of Guinness dropped in twos and fours on tables of trigger-ready drinkers. Their hands close eagerly over the glasses, bringing the goblets to their lips, they swig and swig and swig, trying to time themselves to perfection, slamming the glass down with its dark and tan meniscus perfectly wavering between the middle of the \u201cG\u201d. <\/p>\n

Well, the Beer Golf Shop is trying to do the capital G one better by putting your beer up to the T.<\/p>\n

Say hello to Beer Golf\u2122<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The rules are simple. Fill up your cup. \u201cTee off,\u201d i.e., take a swig<\/em> (not a swing<\/em>, mind you), to try and land your beer line close to the hole. <\/p>\n

You\u2019re trying to get a lower score, which you can keep track of on the coasters. Genius! <\/p>\n

Could this be the next big trend in beer, drinking games on glasses? <\/p>\n

If so, we\u2019re all\u2026fore it. <\/p>\n

Made like a pilsner, this Pilsner Is For Perfectionists tee<\/a> is tweaked to perfection. Super soft, plush, and not hiding behind any hops, the forest green shirt just plainly and boldly says it all. <\/p>\n

Another bold statement: Buying one of these tees supports the North Carolina Craft Brewers Foundation\u2019s Business Recovery Grant program, which helps Western North Carolina breweries impacted by Hurricane Helene. <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s almost like you\u2019re buying two presents in one\u2014one for your beer lover and another for the breweries of Western North Carolina. <\/p>\n

Speaking of beercations, consider getting your beer lover a stay at a brewery hotel. You can find plenty around the country. For instance, von Trapp Brewing\u2019s<\/a> lodge in Vermont, where drinking a beer after a hard day of snowshoeing, skiing, or playing disc golf and looking around at the beautiful mountains makes you feel like you\u2019re part of the von Trapp family legacy. <\/p>\n

Or Lawson\u2019s Finest Airbnbs<\/a>, where you can book a stay at the original brewery, just minutes from skiing, golfing, and, of course, Lawson\u2019s taproom for the freshest Sip of Sunshine you can ever taste. <\/p>\n

Holy Mountain D6 Dice or Nerd Dice<\/h3>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n

The \u201890s are back, baby. Seriously, take a look around. The Backstreet Boys are back, alright, recently playing to sold-out crowds in the Sphere in Las Vegas. Hot on their heels, N\u2019Sync is saying bye, bye, bye to retirement, considering a reunion tour. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen remakes of I Know What You Did Last Summer, Freaky Friday, and Happy Gilmore, among many more. <\/p>\n

Straight leg jeans, Adidas trainers, and even tracksuits are back in fashion. <\/p>\n

So when Holy Mountain came out with its own D6 Dice<\/a>, we just about rolled over. (Full disclaimer here: We went to college in the late 2000s, not the \u201890s, but we hit peak teenage years in those \u201890s, baby). <\/p>\n

While we remember rabid games of 10,000, tucked away into the corner booth of our college bar, Holy Mountain gives you instructions on \u201cThrees,\u201d an equally simple yet mysteriously thrilling (addictive) game of chance that also includes a bit of skill and problem solving (i.e., counting). <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a pro, splurge on the emerald green, dark blue marbled Nerd Dice<\/a> with gold pips. <\/p>\n

Campfire Beer Caramelizer<\/h3>\n

\"campfire<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you stoked to poke\u2026your beer? Last year, we told you about Bierstacheln<\/a> (\u201cbeer sting\u201d or \u201cbeer spike\u201d), a magical German tradition where you put a red-hot steel rod into a half-full glass of malty beer. Instantly, a frothing, writhing cloud will start to bubble\u2014as if an underwater volcano might emerge from the beer\u2019s malty depths\u2014producing a now slightly maltier, caramelized dark beer akin to toasting a marshmallow over a campfire. <\/p>\n

While we wouldn\u2019t call Bierstacheln (pronounced \u201cbeer shta-hll\u201d) a trend by any stretch of the imagination, the classic custom has worked its way across the pond. Places such as Schell\u2019s Brewery in Minnesota (whose annual BockFest probably looks something like the scene above), Pour Man\u2019s Brewing in Pennsylvania, Invasive Species Brewing in Florida, East Brother Beer Company in California, and a handful of others have picked up the custom. <\/p>\n

And now, you can try your hand at hot beer poking at home. Grab this campfire beer caramelizer<\/a>, heat the rod in a fire for fifteen to twenty minutes, stick it in your malty beer (works best with beers with lots of unfermented sugars that will have that Maillard-like reaction when coming in contact with a heat source), and enjoy the magic. <\/p>\n

Personalized K\u00f6lschkranz<\/h3>\n
\"kolschkranz\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another German tradition, this one from K\u00f6ln, k\u00f6lsch service<\/a> is a kind of synchronized musical glasses of beer. <\/p>\n

When you sit down, you get a single stange<\/em> (specially sized glass) of k\u00f6lsch and a deckel<\/em>, the coaster marked with tallies to keep track of how many stangen<\/em> of k\u00f6lsch you drink during service.<\/p>\n

As soon as you finish your glass, a k\u00f6bes<\/em> (server) carrying a kranz<\/em> or wreath-shaped tray full of stangen<\/em> replaces your glass with a fresh one and leaves a tally mark on your coaster. <\/p>\n

This happens repeatedly until you\u2019ve had your fill of k\u00f6lsch. When you\u2019re done, you simply place your deckel<\/em> on top of your stange<\/em> to signal you no longer want refills. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re just sitting in your chair, and k\u00f6lsch is freely coming,\u201d says Fort Point Co-Founder Justin Catalana, who joined me for the brewery\u2019s k\u00f6lsch service last year.<\/p>\n

When you leave, you take your deckel<\/em> to the front and pay based on the number of tally marks. <\/p>\n

Breweries across the U.S. from coast to coast and everywhere in between have introduced their own version of k\u00f6lsch service, but if you have a k\u00f6lsch fan at home, they might just love getting their own, customized kranz<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Made of laser-cut plywood, this K\u00f6lschkranz<\/a> holds ten k\u00f6lsch glasses and features the K\u00f6ln skyline in the background. <\/p>\n

Maybe your beer-loving friend just came home raving about K\u00f6ln and needs a memento, or they simply love k\u00f6lsch. Either way, this iconic piece of memorabilia will help you create some happy k\u00f6lsch-drinking memories of your own. <\/p>\n

Beer Mountain AD25<\/h3>\n

Is there anything better than drinking an ice-cold beer in the great outdoors? Beer Mountain\u2019s AD25 Adventure Series Cooler Backpack<\/a> mashes together all the innovations of an adventure bag with the beer drinker in mind. <\/p>\n

They built an insulated main compartment for ice, meaning you can pack up to twenty-four cans, zip it up, and head out knowing your suds will stay frosty. <\/p>\n

Hop Culture Senior Content Editor Grace Lee-Weitz did just that, filling up the pack with a few cans of Sierra Nevada to take on a hike with her partner and pup, Piper. A small pocket in front fit a few treats and a small water bottle for Piper, while a couple of pouches near her hips were perfect for smaller valuables, such as keys. \u201cOh, there are so many compartments!\u201d Lee-Weitz\u2019s partner mentioned when she first saw the bag. <\/p>\n

Since you\u2019ll probably work up a sweat on your hike, and because you should always hydrate while drinking, Beer Mountain even thought far enough ahead to build in a universal water bladder compartment. While you\u2019ll need to provide that pouch yourself, it\u2019s still a thoughtful touch.<\/p>\n

Just like the added bottle opener attached to one of the straps! <\/p>\n

Beer Mountain really thought everything through, including your comfort, especially if you\u2019re hiking around with beer.<\/p>\n

Lee-Weitz found the padded back support made carrying the weight of the cans extremely comfortable, even during a long walk. Oh, and by the end of the two-hour hike? She and her wife enjoyed a nice little picnic with ice-cold beer! <\/p>\n

Comfortable, ergonomic, durable, and stylish, this cooler pack ensures you can have a cold beer whenever and wherever. <\/p>\n
