Mandles – Perfect for the Beer-Drinking Dude in Your Life
Need a gift for your favorite beer geek?
I’ll get the FCC full disclosure out of the way first – I’m not getting any payola from KoiKouture. I’m not getting free candles or some PayPal funnybucks on the side. I just think that these Mandles are all kinds of rad – and the fact they are housed in bottles from Rogue, Stone and New Belgium makes them even better.
KoiKouture Mandles are candles in beer bottles with manly scents. For example, the “camping” scent smells of roasted marshmallows and firewood. “Oh no, it’s the cops” has the lovely scent of donuts and coffee. And “Stripper Breath”? It smells like, um, stripper breath – Watermelon Jolly Rancher with a little stale smoke.
There are plenty more mandles to pick from – Hooters Girl, Hungry Man TV Dinner, Munchies, Trailer Park and more. If these… interesting… scents don’t appeal to you, KoiKouture even makes custom candles with the scents you want in the bottle of your choice.
Mandles aren’t cheap – they clock in at between 20 and 30 bucks – but they are big, well-produced and …um …unique. Check out the etsy shop or KoiKouture.com to get one for a friend – or yourself, if you want your apartment to smell like a Hooters.

Be a man.
Get candles that smell like manly things.
Because vanilla scented candles in teacups are for chicks!“Mandles” come in recycled Rogue Brewery beer bottles. Because men drink beer…and so do some awesome girls (I’m just saying). These bottles have been hand crafted in a studio full of power tools and beer, while Whitesnake plays in the background. The rim is sanded completely smooth, but even if they weren’t and you cut yourself, that would be fine, because you’re tough like that.
These candles are made from 22 oz. beer bottles, since men drink big beers and like big candles (about 16-18 oz)!

I wonder could they make one that smells of hops
It would be a cool addition to the line. I don’t see why they couldn’t – it looks like the magic mix is a soy base with hop oil.

yeah, but $28??? That’s more than a Rogue beer
