In February 2015, three adventurous friends (Matt, Leigh, and Nic) launched their Kickstarter campaign for North Drinkware’s first product,  The Oregon Pint — a simple pint glass with a robust carving of Oregon’s Mt. Hood blown into the bottom. After just five hours, the project eclipsed the $15,000 goal, ultimately amassing over $500,000 when the campaign reached its conclusion.

Now, the Portland, Oregon based company works with local partner Elements Glass to produce pint glasses for fellow lovers of craft beer and the outdoors. Their newest creation, the Obsidian Glassware line, again pays homage to the PNW, only this time the collection features handblown glasses in both pint and tumbler sizes.

These glasses, which feature renditions of either Mt. Hood or Washington State’s Mt. Rainier, come in a beautiful and bold Obsidian black tint. North Drinkware’s handmade glasses are lead-free, dishwasher safe, and are packaged individually with custom topographic map newsprint. Each glass runs at $50 a piece, while they also offer some $45 posters and head swag to match the glassware.

Not only will you like them, but North Drinkware is a crowd pleaser. The next time you have the boys over to toss a few back, have them pull one of these smokey glasses out of the cupboard and be amazed.

As mentioned above, these glasses will only be available for a limited amount of time — until April 10th. So, if you’re interested, act now.

The battle of brews: Pour over vs. drip coffee explained
Explore extraction method, customization, and flavor differences
pour over coffee

Drip coffee has been a staple in households for years. It uses an automatic brewing system that requires only coffee grounds and water. This method is ideal for making coffee for several people at once; chances are this is the method your parents and grandparents use every morning.

Although drip coffee is the most well-known form of coffee brewing, various other methods can also result in a bold brew. Pour-over coffee is another popular option that uses a manual, handcrafted brewing method that involves pouring hot water over coffee grounds in a filter to create a custom cup of coffee. Both drip coffee and pour-over coffee deliver a great cup of coffee, but each has a unique brewing method. Understanding their differences is critical before determining which brewing method works best for you.
