This summer I had the opportunity to take a tour of the Brau Brothers Brewery in Lucan, Minnesota. While sampling their collection of crafted beers, an inspiration for a Christmas gift came to mind. Why not pair a 6 pack of a locally crafted beer with a handmade pottery beer can chicken baker? You could also make your own dry rub that compliments the beer you’ve chosen. If you don’t want to make one, go to Penzeys site to find a store near you. We recommend their Galena Street Rub, also their Mural of Flavor, and their 4/s(Special seasoned sea salts.)  Now you have a thoughtful, personalized gift. It also supports an artist and your local economy.
