FOR THE GRILLMASTER
Poi Dog Sauces
Grilling season has arrived, and Poi Dog Sauces, purveyors of Hawaiian-inspired at-home condiments, is the perfect gift for any Dad who’s looking to expand his pitmaster lineup! The line of unique sauces includes flavors such as Chili Peppah Water, Guava Katsu Sauce, Huli Sauce.
- Chili Peppah Water ($16/9oz | Vegan, gluten free) – Chili Peppah Water lends everything a spicy, vinegary tang, a gingery kick laced with Hawaiian Sea Salt. Super pure water is infused with a variety of chilis and vinegars to create a savory, not-too-spicy vibrant condiment that kicks a refreshing boost into countless applications. The condiment is made with seasonal peppers so batches will change depending on when they are brewed — The current batch uses peppers sourced from Boonville Barn Collective in California.
- Huli Sauce ($17/12 oz.) – Sweet pineapple, deeply savory miso, fragrant Chinese five-spice — this sauce is versatile. Use it to baste chicken, in addition to adding a deep, sweet savoriness to mushrooms, vegetables, burgers, and more.
- Guava Katsu Sauce ($16/12 oz | Vegan) – Guava Katsu Sauce is tropical, umami-rich, fruity and gingery. A Japanese-style BBQ and dipping sauce made with guava, miso, ginger, tomato, and dried mushroom. Meaty, rich, and deeply flavorful – but it happens to be vegan!
Gift-givers can purchase a BBQ gift box ($36) with all three sauces online for nationwide shipping.

FOR THE FLY FISHERMAN
House of Tamworth Saison De Frai
House of Tamworth Saison De Frai, the latest addition to Tamworth Distilling’s line of weird whiskies, is the perfect catch for Dads who are fly fishermen. Inspired by the Swift River, located steps away from Tamworth Distilling, $1 from each bottle sold will benefit Trout Unlimited and their mission of keeping our country’s cold-water fisheries and their watersheds safe from environmental threats for this and future generations of anglers to enjoy. It also supports the distillery’s quest to care for, and recover, the Swift River and restore its thriving population of wild and native trout.
Each bottle of Saison De Frai features a small scoop of trout roe that has been carefully preserved in apple brandy, adding an exciting element to the liquid — similar to tapioca pearls in bubble tea. The bottles are adorned with a trout shaped label and a hand-tied Royal Coachman Hookless Practice Fly.
House of Tamworth Saison De Frai (90 proof, 200 ml, $65) is available for purchase online for nationwide shipping.

FOR THE DESTROYER OF BAD VIBES
The Pathfinder Hemp and Root
The Pathfinder Hemp and Root, a nonalcoholic spirit fermented and distilled from hemp, is housed in a beautifully decorated bottle that is the perfect addition to any Dad’s at-home bar cart. Made with eight botanicals, natural terpenes, and bad-vibe-dispelling mystique, this zero-proof libation has all of the intense flavor and aromatic characteristics of a spirit with none of the harmful effects of alcoholic beverages. The zero-proof elixir has risen to cult status from features in outlets such as The New York Post, Food Network, Forbes, Bloomberg Pursuits, The New York Times, Liquor.com, and Oprah Daily.
This ingenious zero-proof spirit is fermented from hemp and carefully refined by copper pot distillation. The base liquid is then blended with an alchemy of wormwood, angelica root, ginger, sage, juniper, saffron, orange peel, and wild-crafted Douglas-fir, as well as natural terpenes, to yield a revolutionary spirit of both character and complexity.
In drinks, The Pathfinder shines in the brand’s signature spritz recipe, but it can also be taken as a shot, sipped neat, served on the rocks, or used to modify a multitude of classic cocktails. In other words, it fits right into the back bar of any cocktail destination as well as it does on a home bar cart.
The Pathfinder Hemp and Root (700 ml, $39.99) is available for purchase online for nationwide shipping.
