All tapped out of gift ideas? If you know someone who loves lager, we’ve got a few suggestions for what to leave under the tree this holiday season.
Beer Making Kit
Would there be any achievement greater for a beer lover than making a tasty batch of his or her very own from scratch? Enter Brooklyn Brew Shop’s Beer Making Kit. Pick one of nine jaunty flavors, including Jalepeño Saison and Everyday IPA, and you’ll get everything you need to make a gallon of the good stuff. (Brooklyn Brew Shop, $40)
Hopside Down Beer Glass
An upside-down bottle shape inside the glass will keep any beer icy-cold. No more need to worry about your hands warming up the beer inside. Also this unique shape doesn’t allow condensation to form outside of the glass, which means no more need for a coaster! The glasses are also dishwasher safe which is great for a quick and easy cleanup! (Amazon, $11)
The Rare Beer Club Membership
If your connoisseur appreciates a cold glass of hard-to-find hops, a membership in the Rare Beer Club is the perfect pick. Each month, recipients get a shipment of limited-release brews (like Viven Smoked Porter). Even better: You can customize your installments, so if you see an upcoming beer that he or she has already tried, you can skip it or switch it out for something different. (From $32 per month for 2 big 750-ml bottles per shipment to $69 for 6; Beer of the Month Club)
