Gallery: 7 Green Gift Ideas For Father...

Local and Organic Beer or Soda

Whether they stay-at-home or go to work work, most Dads we know want to chill out on Father’s Day with the family -- maybe with a beer in one hand. Green his beverage choice by finding a local brewery through the Craft Beer site discovering where you can buy some local suds or possibly signing him up for a beer tour. You may be as shocked as we were to discover just how many microbreweries and brewpubs exist in this country. If you prefer organic over local, choose Vermont-based Wolaver’s or Maine’s Peak Brewing Company for traditional and modern flavors (such as pomegranate wheat ale). For teetotalers, try a variety pack of Maine Root’s six all-natural sodas, such as root beer and ginger brew, which are all fair-trade certified and sweetened with organic evaporated cane juice. Maine Root is also available at Whole Foods or Wild Oats.
