Attack of the Meme: Hipster Dads Know Hipster Food and Drink

I think the word hipster needs to be retired. There, I said it. It’s been so overused that it doesn’t even mean anything. What is a hipster? Someone smug, pretentious, a wearer of skinny jeans? A mermaid wearing thick-framed glasses? Well, apparently now Generation Y’s dads are the original hipsters.

Let’s see what hipster dads have to say about food and drink. Actually, now that I think of it, I kind of love hipster dads.

Top 5 Reasons Why Hipster Dads Know Food and Drink

5. Hipster Dad on Craft Beer

He was the MacGyver of making drunk, the Mozart of all things malt. He could bottle a beer with one hand, seduce your mother with the other and still never spill a drop.

4. Hipster Dad on Obscure Soda

When your dad was thirsty he tossed back sodas so obscure that sometimes he didn’t even know what they were. Ginger lemon agave soda, fuck yeah he’s drank it and it doesn’t even exist.

3. Hipster Dad on Coffee

He has been drinking since before Starbucks was a small Seattle coffee shop and long before you stopped drinking Starbucks because it was “too mainstream.” His cups were strong, each sip was an eye jolting, bitch slap to drowsy that firmly signified work was about to begin.

Ode to Coffee

You are an acquired taste
Which came later for me.
A quiet cup with today’s news
Or during a frenzied drive into work-
You give me what I crave.
Oh how I missed you during my maternal hiatus!
Whether dolled up for the holidays
Or brewed
Plain and simple
You are my, um…second favorite
Morning pick me up.
And not to mention your glorious color.

One More for the List

Fact: In this bacon-saturated age, it is practically impossible to come up with a new bacon-flavored product. When there is already bacon popcorn, bacon ice cream, and bacon apple pie — not to mention bacon ketchup and bacon lube — what else is left? I mean, what else could they possibly come up with?

Um….why yes, I would like my coffee to taste like bacon.

So I stand corrected. Maple-bacon coffee now exists, just in time for holiday shopping season (hint, hint).

Bacon — proving people wrong since 1438.

Coffee…Now More Expensive Than Lunch

Those of you (us) who kvetch about spending $12 on a cocktail or a glass of wine have a new crazy drink to get worked up about. Brooklyn, NY now offers a gourmet cup of coffee that goes for $12.
