Make inexpensive and easy beer flights to impress your friends!
Beer flights are all the rage, right? Why not host your own? Make this simple and inexpensive beer flight holder!
I used 1x4 and cut it based on the logo I was adding in the center as well as the glassware size for four beers.
With simple butt joints, this thing is a breeze to make. Pilot drill some holes and bang in some galvanized roofing nails for a cool industrial look.
Sorry for the lame photo but next is drilling out your holes with a hole saw. Here they're based on the size of the glass again.
Lastly? Burn those buggers with a propane torch. Outside. Don't burn yourself or your house down, ok? I evened up the color with a touch of stain then sealed them up with several coats of a heavy use polyurethane.
Not the best photo again, my bad. I attached a sliver of wood on the edge there to hold a coaster. They'll use the coaster to write all the beer names on and it'll have the logo on the back.
Enjoyed the project?

MB on Jul 11, 2016Thanks Becky for posting! Yes, it would be cool to provide flights at home rather than at the bar/restaurant. Thanks too for the post explaining why it is called a flight (light to dark) didn't know that part, just knew a flight of beers was a tasting of usually 4 different ones. It allows one to try the brews without having a whole mug you may not like. AWESOME...Cheers Becky!
