Camping trips are all about fresh air, starry skies, and the simple joy of sharing good drinks with great company. And while packing your gear is essential, packing the right beer is equally important. The best camping beers are portable, refreshing, and full of flavor — the kind that taste even better after a long hike or while relaxing around a crackling campfire.
BroCrates knows a thing or two about great beers. Our craft beer baskets feature a variety of brews perfect for the outdoors.
When the sun is high and the day is warm, a crisp lager is the perfect thirst-quencher. They’re light, refreshing, and go with just about any campfire meal.
Love hops but don’t want to overdo it? Session IPAs offer that bold hop aroma and flavor with a lower ABV, making them great for a long day by the lake or an evening of storytelling under the stars.
Wheat beers are a camping classic — light, slightly fruity, and super smooth. They pair beautifully with campfire favorites like grilled veggies, fish, or even s’mores.
For those who like something right in the middle — not too light, not too strong — pale ales deliver a perfect balance of malt sweetness and hop bitterness.
Cans are your best friend when camping — they’re lighter to carry, chill faster, and are easier to pack out after use. Luckily, most of our featured breweries now offer their beers in cans without sacrificing quality.
One of the best parts of camping in different regions is picking up local brews before you hit your campsite. Many breweries featured in Hops Collective baskets offer unique seasonal releases — perfect for making your trip even more special.
Summer gives us plenty of reasons to come together— but the Fourth of July? That’s the ultimate invitation to laugh, feast, and soak up the sunshine with the people we love.

We’ve rounded up 10 fun and meaningful ways to make this Independence Day truly unforgettable. Here's to freedom, friendship, and fireworks!
This Father’s Day, leave the socks in the drawer and retire the “World’s Best Dad” mug to the back of the cupboard—he’s already got a shrine of them. Instead, raise a toast to the man who taught you how to ride a bike, grill a steak, and deliver a perfectly timed pun. Our Father’s Day Beer Gift Baskets are brimming with thoughtfully curated craft brews, artisanal snacks, and just the right touch of charm to match his legendary wit.
