It’s that time again—New Year’s resolution season. But forget the cliché goals that make you feel guilty by mid-January. This year, let’s focus on resolutions that are fun, achievable, and actually enrich your life. Bonus: No promises to cut back on the things you love—this list is all about adding joy, not taking it away. We’ve got a list of resolutions that’ll have you saying, “I can totally do that!”

1. Support Local (Cough Cough Your Favorite Brewery Cough Cough)

Why not make it your mission to explore the gems in your community? From your neighborhood brewery to that cozy café you’ve been eyeing, supporting local businesses is a win-win. You get great food, drinks, and vibes, and you help your community thrive. Start with brunch, and work your way through happy hours—you’re welcome.

2. Get into Nature (Hike, Run, Swim—Whatever Floats Your Boat)

Nature is the ultimate mood booster, so make it a habit to get outside. Whether it’s a stroll through the park, a scenic bike ride, or a refreshing swim, there’s no wrong way to soak up those good outdoor vibes. Bonus points if you bring a coffee or pastry from a local spot to fuel your adventure.

3. Cook Something New (Or Let a Chef Do It for You)

Challenge yourself to try a new recipe every month—or let us make it easy for you by sampling new dishes at your favorite restaurant. Whether you’re experimenting in the kitchen or letting a professional wow your taste buds, stepping out of your food comfort zone is always rewarding (and delicious).

4. Host More Gatherings (Hello, Appies and Cocktails!)

Make 2025 the year of bringing people together. Whether it’s hosting game nights, Sunday dinners, or beer-and-cheese evenings, there’s something magical about sharing food and laughs with your favorite people. Too busy? Host your gatherings at your go-to restaurant—we’ve got the space and the snacks.

5. Go Green (In a Fun Way!)

Going green doesn’t have to be a chore. Carry a cute reusable water bottle, shop with tote bags, enjoy our beer from a growler and try sustainable dining options (like supporting restaurants that source locally). Plus, biking or walking to your favorite spots doubles as exercise and eco-friendly travel. Two birds, one stone.

6. Try a New Hobby (Beer Tasting Counts!)

From beer tastings to pottery classes, pick something new and dive in. Trying out hobbies is a low-pressure way to discover hidden talents and have fun. And yes, beer flights or cocktail classes definitely qualify as hobbies—we checked.

7. Say Yes to Weekend Adventures

Make it your mission to do something new every weekend, even if it’s small. Day trip to a nearby town, check out a local market, or visit that restaurant with the patio everyone’s raving about. Adventures don’t need to be grand—they just need to be yours.

8. Discover Your Signature Drink

Whether it’s a classic cocktail, the perfect craft beer, or an adventurous mocktail, this year is your chance to find your go-to drink. Experiment with new flavors, chat up your bartender, and let your taste buds guide you to your signature sip.

9. Make Everyday Moments Special

Life’s too short to save the “good stuff” for special occasions. Light a candle at dinner, treat yourself to dessert on a random Tuesday, or order that fancy appetizer just because. Celebrating the little things makes every day feel like a win.

10. Be a Tourist in Your Own Backyard

How well do you really know your town? Make it your mission to explore all the local gems this year. Visit new restaurants, wander farmers’ markets, and hit up local festivals. You’ll gain a deeper appreciation for your community—and probably discover your new favorite hangout.

See? Resolutions don’t have to be boring or restrictive. With these easy-to-keep goals, you’ll have more fun, explore more places, and make 2025 your best year yet. Ready to start? We’ll be here when you’re ready to tackle that “support local” resolution (hint, hint).
