Celebrate Dad Beyond the Tie

Father’s Day, born in 1910 and officially recognized in 1972, owes its popularity to Sonora Smart Dodd’s push for dads to be celebrated — a cause that gained steam through presidential support and, crucially, marketing that turned ties into a holiday staple. This year, June 21st, offers a fresh twist: ditch the tie, grab a brew. For dads who’d rather unwind with a pint, a craft brewery or pub crawl isn’t just fun — it’s a lifeline for struggling local businesses. It’s also the perfect backdrop for bonding, cheering, and sharing stories over drinks — and for many dads, hearing their kid offer to buy them a beer is the ultimate gift.
