Your dad likes bacon, right?

Father’s Day is coming up so why not treat him to some tasty Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale?

You like him, you say? And you want to keep him around?

Okay, maybe not then.

But help me understand the thought process here. Breakfast in a bottle?

Did someone say, “If only I could bottle this taste” and then a lightbulb went off?

I’m not sure I’ll ever understand bacon in liquid form. But maybe that’s just me.

What do you think about this ale? Would YOUR dad drink it even if he really loves bacon?

Has your dad been patient, valiant and kind all year?

Then, surely he deserves something totally awesome for Father’s Day.

These boxed steaks are probably my favorite gift for a man. If he loves steak, he’ll love the presentation in the classy box as well as what’s inside!

You can choose from several different cuts and give Dad exactly what he wants this year. Steak for Father’s Day. Click here to see all your choices!

There. Boom. Father’s Day – done.

Now let’s tackle something that’s hard (like sorting through that closet full of outdated ties)!
