Our Mustache Rocks Glass was just featured in a gift guide on Lotus’s Workshop blog!
In honor of my new found appreciation of really freaking random holidays, here’s to Legal Drinking Age Day! No I’m completely serious (or at least as serious as I can be after a shot or two).
A new personal favorite is the black cherry Mike’s Hard Lemonade. A lot of friends of my boyfriend refer to Mikes and other flavored drinks as bitch beer, but I’ve never seen any of them turn it down (in fact you leave it in the fridge unattended while they are over and the stuff seems to mysterious vanish instantly).
Personally I can’t stand the taste of beer, but rum, now there’s a drink. Especially for cooking. I make rum spice cookies and rum pizzelles, and my brother’s rum ice cream recipe is the best (combine that with a pizzelle shaped into a cone and yay!). Another alcohol baked goodie I’m very partial to is sherry cakes.
There are a lot of makers on Etsy who celebrate the joys of alcohol.

As always remember to enjoy your booze with brains. Underage drinking can damage still developing bodies and minds, driving drunk is selfish and moronic and if your beer is a coping mechanism as well as a beverage you have a problem and need to seek help and support to deal with that problem.

Custom etched pint glasses (or champagne flutes!) would be an awesome wedding present, and Amanda Siska of Bread and Badger says her etched glasses have been especially popular as groomsmen’s gifts. You can choose from her in-house designs or set up a new one with your own artwork and text… whether it’s zombies, robots, your favorite video game, or your wedding date, these glasses will mark the occasion in style.
Get ideas from Amanda’s flickr set of past custom work, or contact her about a new design (prices vary depending on the details). Pint glasses start at $15.
Offbeat Bride featured our mustache pint glasses as a suggestion for unexpected groomsmen gift ideas:
I’ve gotten a few questions lately from brides seeking the perfect offbeat groomsmen’s gifts. I’ve resisted weighing in because no two dudes are the same — and I really don’t dig the gender-normative trends in groomsmen gifts. It seems like it’s assumed that groomsmen are interested in booze (flasks!), titties (pin-up cufflinks!), tools, and sports. I mean sure: you know your dudes best. Maybe they love these things. But are we really so sure our guy friends are so narrow in their interests?
So, in putting together my list of awesome groomsmen gifts, I’ll recognize that some dudes might be into a flask or cufflinks, but others would be much happier with a Star Wars flash drive, pedicure, or leather wrist-cuff. My ultimate test for groomsmen gifts: would a badass Best Woman like it too?
That in mind, here are a few of my favorite nontrad groomsmen gifts, some more mainstream, some tongue-in-cheek, and some totally out there:

Because yes, ok fine: lots of dudes do like beer. These are from etsy:

We were featured in the winter issue of VenusZine magazine in 2006. The golden revolver bowl was hand-engraved, and one of a kind.
