Hi all,

My husband and I plan to exchange our Christmas gifts on a backpack this year. Therefore, I need ideas of what I can get him that:
- he doesn't have already (for the sake of not boring you I won't list what he already has)
- is ultra-lightweight
- is small

Any ideas???

Cheers!

i wonder if i could have both this, and Delirium NOEL delivered to my stocking, on the same day. someone contact my family to make this happen. k? m,kay...

Two hearted ale is great and look for hopslam by bells in late Jan and feb, it's the best beer made.

Tewa - you're spot on with the west coast ipa, green flash is another great brewer

So long as the thread has been hijacked by craft brew drinkers , I had a Santan Winter Warmer at Taste of Tops tonight. I like it. Robust malts, and some spice I couldn't quite identify... Not my favorite, but certainly unique and delicious in its own way. ABV hardly noticed. I followed it up with a Rogue Hazelnut Brown, which was

It comes from an old Malt-o-Meal commercial where Dad is trying to convince the kid, Maynard, how good it tastes.

Thanks, I didn't know the origin.

OK, guys... Most of you are too young to have watched first run television programs in black & white, but...
That phrase originated from a black & white TV sit-com called "Doby Gillis", starring Bob Denver (aka: Gilligan) as Maynard G Krebbs (sp?)

Yeah... I'm old.

@snakemarks
I had thought that as well (I used to watch the show on Nick@Nite), but my dad insisted that the phrase was never actually uttered in that show. IMDB shows it as a quote, but I can't find any clips of Dobie or anyone saying it.

He's more of a bourbon guy.

However, if any of you were wondering what to get me for Christmas - or any day of the year, really - I'd take a six-pack of a finely crafted beer. ;)

New trekking poles might be an appreciated gift too...

someone get cindyl a six-er of Nimbus Old Monkey Shine. (after all, it is Local)

@te-wa
another great choice

@te-wa

I'm all for it. See? Shopping for me is easy. Of course, I'm not going to put a six-pack in my backpack (I usually only carry one - two tops - and on dayhikes).

And then there's the whole topic of what to get jrnorb for his backpack...

I think this headlamp (http://www.rei.com/product/807832) is pretty darn cute.

And who doesn't need ornaments - even though i'm fairly sure they won't be having a tree since they'll be out backpacking... http://www.rei.com/product/744475
