BruMate HOPSULATOR TRíO 3-in-1 Insulated Can Cooler 16oz 12oz Pint Glass

I love my Yeti Can Cooler, but what to do when you need a way to hold and chill a 16oz tall can? Thankfully BruMate has the best solution so far. Other companies make 16oz can coolers, but BruMate's Hopsulator Trio not only is made for 16oz cans, but it has an adapter to use with 12oz cans AND the ability to be used as a pint glass, something the other coolers like the Yeti cannot do. Also, it's more affordable than most at only $25. 

GrowlerWerks uPint

The GrowlerWerks uPint is a double-wall vacuum-insulated pint that keeps beer and other beverages cold. Its made of 8/18 food grade stainless steel. It comes with an integrated lid with wide opening for easy sipping. The design is inspired by the innovative uKeg. The uKeg dimples make the uPint easy to grip. The uPint is also great for keeping beverages hot. Available in stainless steel, copper or black chrome plated finishes.  Holds 16 ounces. The Holy Grail of Beer Pints.

Professional Bartender Beer/Wine Bottle Opener

Bottle openers and corkscrews are a dime a dozen, but this professional level one from Avina is well worth having, especially if you or your friend or loved one is into big expensive wax topped and/or corked bottles. This product is designed for wine and even comes with a special pop top bottle opener; it's just as good for beer, and what it has over the typical corkscrew is a sharp curved blade to slice through foil wrapping or a wax top to get at the cap and cork. There is nothing worse than going to open a super rare barrel-aged bottle of blah blah blah and not being able to find a sharp knife, or finding a cork inside and being without a corkscrew. As a bonus, it comes with a wine stopper that works on many 750ml large format beer bottles as well.

Dickens Village Oast House Hop Harvest

A Charles Dickens-inspired Christmas ornament of the hop harvest is too cool to pass up! In the time of Dickens in Victorian England, many traditions were born, like the preparation of freshly harvested hops for drying in the Olde Brambling Oast House, as depicted in this ornament. Part of the Dickens' Village Series from Department 56.

Hanging Hop Light

I saw this hanging hop light at a brewery tasting room in San Diego and found that it is commercially made and available on Amazon! Apparently it was modeled after a pine cone, but it resembles a hop even more closely and is available in different metallic colors. Created with layers of pointed polycarbonate leaves, creating a fully diffused, glare-free lighting experience. The leaves taper to a point at the bottom of the shade and are attached to the clear interior frame, spreading the internally reflected light through each tier, creating a wonderful ambiance.Available as a hard-wired or plugin pendant, table lamp, or floor lamp, and comes in two sizes and three colors: classic white, contemporary copper, or warm brushed brass.

Growlerwerks 128oz uKeg

The uKeg from Growlerwerks is possibly the classiest growler on the market and most convenient, too. From polished steel or the brushed copper look and a new black chrome, it looks steampunk retro-futuristic and comes in standard growler 64oz or full gallon 128oz sizes. What makes it awesome, though, is the pressure gauge and meter, sight glass to see how full it is, and its own lockable tap faucet, so you can pour a pint from the uKeg straight from your refrigerator without removing it or hooking up a cobra tap or pulling it out to open the cap.
