    Father’s Day Finds

    As Father’s Day approaches, it’s time to recognize the amazing father-figures in your life and applaud them for all they’ve done and continue to do for you. There’s nothing preventing you from celebrating your Dad every day, but if you’re looking for a reason to get him something extra special, Father’s Day is the perfect occasion.

     

    You don’t have to look far for gifts for the men in your life—Lancaster is home to thriving small businesses brimming with hidden treasures! From personal training to fine clothing, handmade goods, and everything in between, there are countless ways to shop small and celebrate Dad by supporting local businesses and securing the ideal gift.

    Rieker Bottle Works

    With over 335 varieties of craft beer for sale, it’s safe to say that Rieker Bottle Works is the place to snag a brew! Pick up a 64 oz. growler, a 32 oz. crowler, a single, a keg, or a custom 6-pack. One popular Father’s Day option is buying an empty growler with a gift card so Dad can come in and select his own favorite. Featuring domestic brews and well-loved imports, Rieker’s is a booze-filled haven.
