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.”

Major players in craft beer and music are celebrating by way of a collaboration. Dogfish Head Brewery has teamed up with the Grateful Dead with the release of the Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale. The beer commemorates the 60th birthday of the iconic American rock band and the beer label's 30th anniversary.

Brewery founder Sam Calagione spent some time with Grateful Dead's archivist and historian David Lemeiux, listening to music and sipping beers. The two decided on the perfect recipe to pair with the music and even curated a playlist to accompany the beer. Brewed with a hippy mindset, the beer features Kernza® grains, granola, and a pair of hops in Azacca and El Dorado.

Do coffee beans go bad? Here’s the truth about freshness and shelf life
Exploring the shelf life of coffee beans
Coffee beans

If you're a javaphile, you probably go through coffee beans reasonably fast. I drink at least two to three cups per day, so as you can expect, I quickly run through coffee beans in my house. However, since I travel frequently, I've often wondered if my coffee beans would still be suitable for brewing once I return home from vacation.

The phrase "freshly brewed coffee" suggests the beans are fresh, but what exactly makes a fresh bean? As you probably can speculate, coffee beans don't stay fresh forever. If you've also wondered, "Do coffee beans go bad?" this guide is for you.

Big beer is once again betting on the Super Bowl
Chiefs, Eagles, and Bud Light
Beer

The major brands are paying big bucks for major placement at this year's Super Bowl. It's a tale as old as time, really, but perhaps with a few plot twists in 2025 as Americans increasingly reach for options beyond just beer. Bud Light is at the top of the heap, billing itself as the official beer of the NFL.

Others, of course, are joining the party, shelling out millions for coveted advertisement slots. According to Forbes, multinational beer colossus AB InBev will be behind five of the six spots reserved for beer. Viewers can look forward to commercials from the likes of Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors Light, Michelob Ultra, Stella Artois, and Busch Light.
