It’s time for Gear & Beer Volume VI, this time featuring the Yeti Hopper and Dale’s Pale Ale by Oskar Blues Brewery.

The Yeti Hopper is a great product — the same cool toughness for which Yeti set the standard, but in a softer shell, perfect for day rides on the boat, for throwing over your shoulder for the river bank, or even for a picnic with the family. It’s water-tight, it keeps things cold four hours, and it will stand up to a beating.

Dale’s Pale Ale has been a favorite of mine for years. My friends and I often throw a couple in our stripping baskets when we chase stripers after work. It’s a hoppy pale ale, with a decent ABV, that I find to be truly delicious.

Hope you enjoy this edition!
