Father’s Day 2015 Three Perfect Tech Gifts For Your Man
Father’s Day 2015 Three Perfect Tech Gifts For Your Man
Out of the hundreds of surveys on what men really want for Father’s Day, two key wants come out of them – ‘a day of relaxing and putting up my feet’ and ‘watching the sport’. Here are some great gift ideas to ensure his day is as relaxing and enjoyable as he hopes for: the new Touchjet Pond ‘smart projector’; the Botvac robotic vacuum cleaner from Neato; and the Livescribe 3 smartpen.
Touchjet has just launched the Touchjet Pond Projector™ the first-ever consumer device that turns any flat surface into a super-sized touchscreen. Fitting in the palm of your Dad’s hand, the Touchjet Pond Projector is ultra-portable and can easily fit in a briefcase or backpack. With the projector, you can interact directly with your own photos, videos, games, apps and presentations on a large touch display (up to 80”) anywhere your Dad goes. Built on the Android 4.4 operating system, the projector gives access to hundreds of thousands of apps that can be downloaded directly to the device via Google Play. You can also directly project from almost any smartphone or tablet using a third party app. The unique design and infrared (IR) technology brings any Android app to life with an interactive screen that users control with a stylus. The Touchjet Pond is guaranteed fun for all the family, not just Dad.The Touchjet is available from www.touchjet.eu and retails at £599.99
The Neato Botvac™ robot vacuum will ensure that it’s not just on Father’s Day that Dad can put his feet up and relax – but every day thereafter. Your home will also be a lot cleaner as a result, so it is a win-win for the whole family. The Neato robot is so intelligent that it can navigate and clean all the floors in a home without the owner even having to be there. You can “set it and forget it” and the vacuum will clean every day at the appointed hour. Neato’s patented laser mapping technology scans and plans the most efficient vacuuming course. Neato then cleans in an organized back and forth pattern, leaving the straight vacuum lines in carpet. It also knows when to return to its base to recharge, and then returns to the spot it left off to finish the job. No other robot vacuum – or indeed Father – has this intelligence!
The BotVac family is available in leading electrical retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Argos, Appliances Direct and Tesco online. The models are prices as follows: BotVac 70e – £379.99; BotVac 75 – £399.99; BotVac 85 – £449.99. http://www.neatorobotics.com/
Livescribe, the leading manufacturer of smartpens, has just launched the Android version of the Livescribe+ app, opening up the award-winning Livescribe 3 smartpen to millions of Android smartphone and tablet owners. One Livescribe 3 smartpen can now sync with up to four iOS and Android devices, so people can access the same notes whenever they need them, on their iPad as well as their Android smartphone, or any other combination of iOS and Android mobile devices. With the smartpen and Livescribe+ app, every handwritten note is digitised so that it’s more useful than ever – your Dad will be able to save, search and share his notes via the apps and services he already uses and loves, including Evernote, Microsoft OneNote, Dropbox, Google Drive and more.
The Livescribe 3 smartpen is currently available at Selfridges, www.apple.co.uk and on promotion for £129.99 (GBP) or £149.90 (Pro edition) at http://www.amazon.co.uk.

Ocushield: The Future of Blue Light Protection for iphones and ipads, sleep better, improve tired eyes.
Sleep Better
Do you use your digital device in the evening or before bed to browse the web or read an e-book? Chances are your sleep is being affected. Imagine being able to sleep with ease and feel energised and ready for your day the morning after.
Improve tired eyes
Because we hold our iPhones and iPads at a closer distance than TV’s and computers, we’re more likely to encounter eyestrain and fatigue by the end of the day. Keep the same fresh feeling as the morning, in the evening when you’re ready to head home or head out.
Insurance for your eyes
Prevention is better than cure. We all take our vision for granted, but our daily activities do have a long term effects on us and our children’s vision and ocular health. Being in a position to maintain good vision and great eye health is always a plus!

OcuShield is a Blue Light screen filter that protects our eyes when we are looking at our digital devices. All modern digital devices produce harmful Blue Light. This short wavelength light is known to cause eye strain and fatigue, as well as to increase the likelihood of eye diseases. It also suppresses the hormone melatonin, disturbing our sleep-wake cycle, and the production of the protective pigment melanin. OcuShield protects your eyes and sleep by cutting out the Blue Light transmittance, but allowing the non-harmful light through the screen to give you clear and normal images.

That’s A Novel Idea Bulldog Skincare And Penguin Books Launch Exclusive Father’s Day Gift Sets
That’s A Novel Idea
Bulldog Skincare And Penguin Books Launch Exclusive Father’s Day Gift Sets > www.meetthebulldog.com
Award winning British brand Bulldog Skincare For Men has announced a unique collaboration with world-renowned publisher Penguin Books to celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday June 21st, 2015.
Launching exclusively at Waitrose stores from June 10th, Bulldog’s ‘Classic Reads’ gift with purchase (RRP £5.00) features a selection of classic British novels paired with four Bulldog skincare products.
The limited edition ‘Classic Reads’ gift packs celebrate some of the finest writing in the English language with four treasured Penguin titles: The Time Machine (H.G. Wells), Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Robert Louis Stevenson), The Hound of the Baskervilles (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) and The War of the Worlds (H.G. Wells).
All four iconic covers have been reimagined with a distinctly Swiss style aesthetic by Bulldog’s in-house design team. The designs take inspiration from the stories themselves, with circular hoops representing Sherlock Holmes’ magnifying glass and a split page colour representing the split personality conflict between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. An hourglass signifies the passage of time in H.G. Wells’ Time Machine, whilst circles represent different planets in War of the Worlds.
Bulldog Designer Chris Falkner said: “It’s one of graphic design’s holy grails to create a cover for a Penguin Classics title, let alone a limited edition set.”
“Drawing inspiration from Swiss design, and conventions from Bulldog’s own brand aesthetic, the covers all feature elements lifted from the pages of the books. Sherlock Holmes’ loupe along with an hour-glass symbolic of The Time Machine are obvious visual links.”
“More subtly the two-coloured division of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and the view of Earth from Mars, influenced from The War of the Worlds make up the striking designs hinting at the books’ topics.”
Speaking about the collaboration, Bulldog founder Simon Duffy said: “The ‘Classic Reads’ Father’s Day campaign is a very exciting promotion for Bulldog and we are delighted to be partnering with Penguin Books. We agree with Groucho Marx’s assertion that outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend, but there is a wealth of timeless classics that we all wished we owned, or perhaps never got around to reading.”
“We hope that every dad who receives one of these fantastic gift sets will enjoy the skincare benefits of Bulldog products and a well deserved chance to rediscover a great selection of Penguin Classics.”
Sam Voulters, Penguin Classics Brand Manager added: “In our 80th anniversary year, we’re delighted to be partnering with another great British brand to reach new audiences for these iconic works of literature.”
The Complete Bulldog ‘Classic Reads’ Collection Includes:
The Time Machine (H.G. Wells) and Bulldog Sensitive Moisturiser, 100ml (RRP £5.00)
A chilling, prophetic take on mankind’s possible future, The Time Machine sees a Victorian scientist propelled into the year AD 802,701, where he is delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty and contentment in the form of the Eloi, an elfin species descended from man. But he soon realizes that they are simply remnants of a once-great culture – now weak and living in terror of the sinister Morlocks lurking in the deep tunnels, who threaten his very return home. H.G. Wells defined much of modern science fiction with this 1895 tale of time travel, which questions humanity, society and our place on Earth.
Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Robert Louis Stevenson) and Bulldog Original Moisturiser, 100ml (RRP £5.00)
Published as a ‘shilling shocker’ in 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson’s dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the popular idea of the split personality. Set in a hellish, fog-bound London, the story of outwardly respectable Dr. Jekyll, who unleashes his deepest cruelties and most murderous instincts when he is transformed into sinister Edward Hyde, is a Gothic masterpiece and a chilling exploration of humanity’s basest capacity for evil. Robert Louis Stevenson’s innovative thriller remains as shocking now as when it was first published.
The Hound of the Baskervilles (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) and Bulldog Original Face Wash, 150ml (RRP £5.00)
The Hound of the Baskervilles is perhaps the best-loved case of legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Watson, as the great detective’s arch-rationalism is confronted by a seemingly supernatural terror. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead in the grounds of his country house, his face contorted with fear, Holmes is drawn into a mysterious case involving an ancient family curse, savage brutality and a hellish, spectral hound that roams the foggy moors. But is it really something unearthly that walks there?
The War of the Worlds (H.G. Wells) and Bulldog Original Face Scrub, 125ml (RRP £5.00)
In this pioneering, shocking and nightmarish tale, naïve suburban Londoners investigate a strange cylinder from space, but are instantly incinerated by an all-destroying heat-ray.
Soon, gigantic killing machines that chase and feed on human prey are threatening the whole of mankind. A pioneering work of alien invasion fiction, The War of the Worlds’ journalistic style contrasts disturbingly with its horrifying visions of the human race under siege.

The Final Minute by Simon Kernick
Published by Arrow on May 21st 2015, priced £7.99 in paperback. Also available in eBook.
The new race-against-time thriller by the best-selling Simon Kernick featuring maverick detective,
Tina Boyd.
‘It’s night and I’m in a strange house. The lights are on, and I’m standing outside a half-open door. Feeling a terrible sense of foreboding, I walk slowly inside. And then I see her. A woman lying sprawled across a huge double bed. She’s dead. There’s blood everywhere. And the most terrifying thing is that I think her killer might be me…’
After a traumatic car accident wipes out his memory, Matt Barron retreats to his sister’s house in Wales to begin his slow recovery. But something’s wrong. He keeps having a recurring dream of being in a house with a group of dead bodies and a bloody knife in his hand, and he’s beginning to have real doubts that he is who his sister says he is.
Then one night, the past comes calling in the most terrifying way imaginable and Matt is forced to flee for his life. He needs to find out who he is, whatever the cost, and there’s only one person who can help: ex Met cop, turned private detective, Tina Boyd. But Matt’s a hunted man and, as Tina digs into his background, she suddenly finds herself in the firing line herself. She needs to find out the truth. And fast.
“Simon Kernick writes great plots, great characters, great action.”
– LEE CHILD
“Simon Kernick writes with his foot pressed hard on the pedal. Hang on tight!”
– HARLAN COBEN
“Simon Kernick uses every trick in the book to keep the action breakneck.”
– TIME OUT
Simon Kernick is one of Britain’s most exciting thriller writers. He arrived on the crime writing scene with his highly acclaimed debut novel The Business of Dying, the story of a corrupt cop moonlighting as a hitman. Simon’s big breakthrough came with his novel Relentless, which was the biggest selling thriller of 2007. His most recent crime thrillers include The Last Ten Seconds, Siege, Ultimatum and Stay Alive. Simon talks both on and off the record to members of the Met’s Special Branch, the Anti-Terrorist Branch and the Organised Crime Agency, so he gets to hear first-hand what actually happens in the dark and murky underbelly of UK crime.

TYLER & TYLER hails from the stable of a British family-controlled manufacturing company that have been making men’s fashion accessories designers since 1969. The company can trace its origins back over 100 years.
The collection is the brainchild of designers Richard and Jonathan Tyler, the two sons of the family. Recognising their talent for design, the brothers set about creating the Tyler & Tyler concept after a discussion over a beer one summer’s evening in 2007. The brothers were very clear with their vision – they wanted to create a range that reflected their passion for British design and demonstrated their keen eye for detail. After a year in the making, the debut collection was launched to acclaimed international success in the UK, Europe, America and Australia.
Where Tyler & Tyler differ is that they’re not just a design or brand house – they are engineers and manufacturers. Their collection is produced using a blend of traditional manufacturing skills and state-of-the-art technology. Some of the craft techniques they employ at their in-house Birmingham factory date back to the 13th century BC.
Father’s Day 2015 Three Perfect Tech Gifts For Your Man
Father’s Day 2015 Three Perfect Tech Gifts For Your Man
Out of the hundreds of surveys on what men really want for Father’s Day, two key wants come out of them – ‘a day of relaxing and putting up my feet’ and ‘watching the sport’. Here are some great gift ideas to ensure his day is as relaxing and enjoyable as he hopes for: the new Touchjet Pond ‘smart projector’; the Botvac robotic vacuum cleaner from Neato; and the Livescribe 3 smartpen.
Touchjet has just launched the Touchjet Pond Projector™ the first-ever consumer device that turns any flat surface into a super-sized touchscreen. Fitting in the palm of your Dad’s hand, the Touchjet Pond Projector is ultra-portable and can easily fit in a briefcase or backpack. With the projector, you can interact directly with your own photos, videos, games, apps and presentations on a large touch display (up to 80”) anywhere your Dad goes. Built on the Android 4.4 operating system, the projector gives access to hundreds of thousands of apps that can be downloaded directly to the device via Google Play. You can also directly project from almost any smartphone or tablet using a third party app. The unique design and infrared (IR) technology brings any Android app to life with an interactive screen that users control with a stylus. The Touchjet Pond is guaranteed fun for all the family, not just Dad.The Touchjet is available from www.touchjet.eu and retails at £599.99
The Neato Botvac™ robot vacuum will ensure that it’s not just on Father’s Day that Dad can put his feet up and relax – but every day thereafter. Your home will also be a lot cleaner as a result, so it is a win-win for the whole family. The Neato robot is so intelligent that it can navigate and clean all the floors in a home without the owner even having to be there. You can “set it and forget it” and the vacuum will clean every day at the appointed hour. Neato’s patented laser mapping technology scans and plans the most efficient vacuuming course. Neato then cleans in an organized back and forth pattern, leaving the straight vacuum lines in carpet. It also knows when to return to its base to recharge, and then returns to the spot it left off to finish the job. No other robot vacuum – or indeed Father – has this intelligence!
The BotVac family is available in leading electrical retailers such as Costco, Amazon, Argos, Appliances Direct and Tesco online. The models are prices as follows: BotVac 70e – £379.99; BotVac 75 – £399.99; BotVac 85 – £449.99. http://www.neatorobotics.com/

Cufflinks with clout for Father’s Day from www.poppyshop.org.uk
Cufflinks with clout
The Royal British Legion have collaborated with TMB Art Metal of London on a unique set of poppy shaped cufflinks made from spitfire “P7350” metal. Funds raised from the sale of the cufflinks will go to help remember the sacrifice of the fallen and support the future of the living…
This year marks the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day and the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and The Royal British Legion is playing a leading role in ensuring the memories of those who fought and died in the Second World War live on.
The Battle of Britain was one of the turning points in that war and the brave air crews involved, of whom nearly 1500 died, undoubtedly helped prevent Germany from invading Britain.
Only 35 Spitfires remain in use around the world today. Of these, the Spitfire P7350, having survived the Battle of Britain complete with battle scars and bullet holes is now the oldest and most historically significant airworthy plane of its type in existence. Recent restoration work on the P7350 and the removal of the original metal, duralumin, has allowed TMB Art to obtain and create these truly unique cufflinks.
Cast in the shape of a poppy, the design of the products is based on a pressed poppy found in the World War One diary of Private Smith and each set of cufflinks is different, thanks to the age and character of the metal used.
All cufflinks are supplied in high quality wooden cases complete with illustrated certificates of provenance and will be a talking point around any meeting table or black tie event.
The cufflinks are available exclusively from The Royal British Legion’s Poppy Shop, www.poppyshop.org.uk, for £99.99 and all proceeds from their sale go directly to the charity and the important work they do in providing care and support to all members of the British Armed Forces and their families.
The Royal British Legion is committed to keeping alive the memory of the fallen, and supporting the future of the living.

RAISE A GLASS TO DAD THIS FATHER’S DAY WITH SPEY CHAIRMAN’S CHOICE
RAISE A GLASS TO DAD THIS FATHER’S DAY WITH SPEY CHAIRMAN’S CHOICE
SPEY Chairman’s Choice single malt Scotch whisky is the ultimate gift for discerning drinkers this Father’s Day. Created using traditional distilling techniques at the boutique distillery, the whisky used in this expression is – as its name suggests – specially selected by the company chairman.
From the rich amber colour to the handsome wooden presentation case, the dram oozes class and masculinity. It is one of the biggest selling malts produced by the boutique distillery run by Harvey’s of Edinburgh.
John Harvey McDonough, director of Harvey’s of Edinburgh, says SPEY Chairman’s Choice holds a special connection to his own father and family. He explains, “The release comes from a tradition started in the late 1700s by John and Robert Harvey who founded the company.
“Every year on Christmas Day the chairman of the company would choose the finest casks of whisky to share with his family. It is a tradition that we continue to uphold and my father, John, chooses whisky from the very best casks in our warehouse.
“It is a very limited bottling with only a very small amount released each year, but it has grown to be one of the best-selling bottles in our range of hand-crafted malts produced using time-honoured traditional techniques.”
At 40% ABV, SPEY Chairman’s Choice has a refreshing flower and fruit fragrance with a hint of vanilla. The whisky is matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, giving the dram a unique richness full of character.
With a distinct taste of dried fruit, it has a soft, nutty flavour and a creamy finish, while the aftertaste is of mild spice and soft dried fruit with a woody sweetness. The stunning bottle is encased within a dark wooden presentation case.
With an RRP in the region of £60, SPEY Chairman’s Choice is available from a range of retailers. Details of stockists and there to buy are available at www.speysidedistillery.co.uk
Speyside Distillery, home of the SPEY brand of malt whisky, has been in production since 1990 and is operated by Speyside Distillers Ltd. It is located near Aviemore, set against the stunning backdrop of the Cairngorm mountain range in the heart of Scotland’s most prolific whisky-producing region.

Lottie Shaw’s products are based on a one hundred year old family passion for baking which has seen her take up the reins as the fourth generation of her family to run the Yorkshire-based bakery which started with her great aunts and her grandfather and has passed down the generations, through her father, to herself and her husband.
Based on traditional family recipes handed down by Great Grandma, Lottie Shaw’s goodies are to be found in the best farm shops, stately homes and traditional delicatessens throughout the country and have already been recognised with a host of awards and by tv chefs including Brian Turner and Paul Hollywood who have featured them on their television programmes.

Charlotte, Lottie, still bakes at home with her young children in Halifax and has recently developed an online branch of her business for her products and gifts, which includes for this year a children’s decorating kit and traditional Yorkshire hampers.
“The products are from old family recipes, recipes I have always baked at home with my family and the proudest moments are when people tell me it reminds them of home baking just like grandma used to bake”, she says.
” Like many busy Mums it’s always a challenge juggling work and home, but I am passionate about bringing my family traditions to the table and we have grown beyond my wildest dreams. I hope you can taste the love and pride of past generations with every mouthful!”.

Most men (especially rugby dads) love a bit of alcohol so why not consider some delicious Demijohn Organic Liqueur for Father’s Day
Most men (especially rugby dads) love a bit of alcohol so why not consider some delicious Demijohn Organic Rhubarb Vodka Liqueur, handmade from the shores of Loch Ness. Drunk deliciously on its own or add to sparkling wine and a spoonful of rhubarb puree and you have an original Rhubarb Bellini. This wonderfully fresh drink from artisan deli Demijohn is the drink of Summer 2015. Organic Rhubarb Vodka Liqueur was created in Inverness by Andrew Lyle who wanted an extra outlet for his fields of organic rhubarb. Using Andrew’s fresh organic rhubarb, which for years has been sold at the Covent Garden Market in London, and English distilled Organic Vodka and Organic Cane Sugar this liqueur is something magical and special. Having made the liqueur as a present for his wife, Andrew then spoke to Demijohn about selling it commercially. And so Organic Rhubarb Vodka Liqueur was born and one of Demijohn’s favourite Father’s Day gifts took off.

Demijohn also do a delicious new Walnut Liqueur. Recently launched and believed to be the first ever in the UK it is a great gift for Dads this year. Made from walnuts picked last summer by the Demijohn team in East Sussex, and then made in Somerset, this very dark, strong liqueur takes at least 40 days and nights to infuse but the resulting wait is worth it. As a delicious, strong flavored drink, with a hint of infused walnuts and cloves, its subtle sweetness and spiced overtone make it a perfect drink for the cold winter months.
Based loosely on the Northern Italian Nochino Liqueur, Demijohn’s Walnut Liqueur is made by combining Apple Eau de Vie as the base spirit with British walnuts and cloves. It is available in Demijohn shops in Oxford, York, Edinburgh and Glasgow or online at www.demijohn.co.uk, with prices starting at £6.60/ 100ml, making it an affordable, unusual and delicious gift. Add a personalised message for free and you have a gift sorted.

There are four distinctive products within the range, designed specifically to suit a variety of activities and an active lifestyle. The Gear Shift and Power Shift collections have been designed specifically for active sportsmen and fitness fans, utilising Coldskin™ by Garmatex™ to promote cooling in areas where heat commonly builds during activity. This pioneering thermal-reduction material uses crushed jade minerals which have been woven into the fabric to reduce body temperature by three to six degrees, dissipating excess heat.

The lazy Father’s Day gift guide from Fiskars The Range that Makes Light Work of Gardening
The lazy Father’s Day gift guide from Fiskars
With Father’s day coming up, it’s time for a little honesty. Dads love their children but frankly, they can find day-to-day family life a little overwhelming. All they really want is an easy life. So this year, the Fiskars team has decided to reveal what men really want – time on their own and a reason to have it.
Dads loathe mugs, socks and useless car accessories. They particularly hate gifts with contrived sentimentality printed all over them, such as ‘World’s greatest Dad’.
In almost every poll undertaken, Dads prefer gifts that are practical or genuinely sincere. Let’s face it, men are pretty black and white, so Fiskars are throwing normal press releases out of the window and giving you the information that you really need.

GIVE THE GIFT OF STEPS TO GREAT DIY THIS FATHER’S DAY
GIVE THE GIFT OF STEPS TO GREAT DIY THIS FATHER’S DAY
We used to be a nation of DIY-ers, but now only eight per cent of 18 to 25-year-olds say they could confidently rewire a plug without help or instruction, according to research1.
Similarly, only five per cent of young people would be confident unblocking a sink, let alone wallpapering a room, so it’s undeniable that today’s twenty-somethings don’t seem to possess traditional “dad skills”.
More often than not, it’s our fathers who therefore end up doing the essential DIY around the house.
So if you’re looking to give Dad a gift this Father’s Day that he’ll be able to use for years to come, then the Werner Fibreglass Swingback Stepladder has an array of innovative features that are sure to keep Dads both safe and secure, when heading into their DIY tasks.
Werner is the world leader in the manufacturing and distribution of ladders, climbing equipment and ladder accessories. Available in sizes ranging from 4-12 treads, the Fibreglass Swingback Stepladder features a unique, multi-functional ‘Holster Top’, with specially designed tool and equipment holders that are also fully compatible with the innovative Werner Lock-In accessory system.
This customisable Lock-in System accepts a range of accessories that are designed for convenience, safety and productivity when working at height.
Whether it’s holding power tools, paint brushes, hand tools or even Dad’s snacks, the system substantially reduces the numbers of trips required up and down the ladder.
Safety is also paramount with this ladder and the slip-resistant treads also have a generous 300mm pitch, giving excellent reach heights from a solid and secure base.
Even more importantly, the non-conductive fibreglass stiles mean the ladders are ideal for working around electricity, so this surprise Father’s Day gift won’t end up giving Dad any nasty surprises!
Paul Bruton, Product Development Director of Werner Ladders UK, said: “With DIY skills on the wane, it’s more important than ever to make sure that one uses the right equipment. If you’re considering buying something as a gift for a loved one, then make sure you’re buying the right tool for the job. Using a tool or ladder for a purpose it wasn’t designed for can put the user in unnecessary danger.
In order to help you choose the right ladder this Father’s Day, Werner Ladders has also devised an online tool to help choose the right ladder to get the job done, efficiently and safely.
Werner’s Ladder Finder resource allows shoppers to choose the right climbing equipment for their household, taking type, height, duty rating and material into account. Initially created with tradesmen in mind, the online tool is ideal for families to ensure safety during everyday DIY tasks, from cleaning windows to decorating.
Werner’s Ladder Finder can be found at www.wernerladder.co.uk

SAY IT WITH ALE THIS FATHER’S DAY WITH OLD SPECKLED HEN’S PIONEERING ‘WWW.GIFTABEER.CO.UK’ SITE
For the first time ever, it is now possible to digitally gift your dad a pint of the UK’s number one premium ale brand this Father’s Day. So why not buy a present that does not break the bank but you can be sure he will love – a rich and distinctive pint of Old Speckled Hen or a crisp and refreshing, pint of Old Golden Hen delivered in pioneering digital style?
To give the gift of ale this Father’s Day, all you have to do is head along to www.giftabeer.co.uk from 12 June 2015 and all you have to do is take some quick and simple steps to enter your own, and your dad’s, details. Dad then receives a bar code via email which he can present at the bar of any Hungry Horse pub – and by doing so redeem his gloriously tasty bottle or pint of Old Speckled Hen or Old Golden Hen.
With a recent Old Speckled Hen consumer study* revealing that 38 per cent of people have NEVER been out for a beer with their dad, this Father’s Day marks the perfect opportunity to redress that balance.
Paul Brazier, marketing manager for Old Speckled Hen, comments, “This is the Father’s Day gift that dads across the country will be genuinely happy to receive. In a beer industry first, a crisp and refreshing pint for dad is now just a few simple clicks away. All dad has to do is walk into a participating pub, present the code on his mobile and walk away with a free pint. I cannot emphasise this enough; just say it with ale on Father’s Day.”

Deus Brut des Flandres
Available from: www.beersofeurope.com
RRP: £17.89
ABV: 11.5%
This is the magnificent result of a long brewing proccess split between Belgium and France. Fermented by the master brewer in Belgium, Deus Brut Des Flandres is then sent to France to be transformed into a sparkling beer using a technique hundreds of years old. This pale golden beer has a complex yet delicate flavour, enhanced by the fragrance of apples, mint, cirtrus, ginger and pears.
Leffe Royale
Available from: www.beerplanet.eu
RRP: £7.49
ABV: 7.5%
This regal blonde beer truly is a masterpiece; the nose is rich with bananas and spices, with hints of cloves and vanilla singing through. The beer itself is the perfect balance of bitter and sweet flavours, a subtle harmony between soft caramel notes and a mild citrusy bitterness. The finish is rounded and creamy, with a crisply refreshing aftertaste.
Liefmans Cuvee Brut
Available from: www.beerhawk.co.uk
Cost: £6.99
ABV: 6%
Leifmans Cuvee Brut gets its extraordinary flavour from the distinctive brewing method used to make it. After brewing, it is mixed with fresh, whole cherries and left to mature for over 12 months. This ambrosial liquid is then blended and refined to produce a truly unique drink. Complex and refreshing, this deep red ale flawlessly balances the intense tart and sweet flavours of the cherries, which are offset by a subtle touch of almonds and plums.
