Gifts for the beer geek

It’s coming up on that time of year, and I’m here to help with a list of gifts for the beer geek in your life. Now, it’s not really that hard to come up with gift ideas for your malt beverage-drinking friends, and I’ve already suggested a few possible gifts (glasses and the “lagerhead” come to mind). Over the course of the next month, however, I’ll suggest a bunch more, so if you love beer or someone who does you’ll need to stop in frequently! 

My first suggestion is one which beer lovers will look at with some scepticism, but bear with me – if you’re determined to get a gift which keeps on giving, but you don’t know beer from broth, a beer of the month club can be a fun way to go. Sure, on a per-sixpack basis it’s absurdly expensive, and you may well end up with some mediocre beers in the mix, but you also can discover some nice beers in the process, and it’s always fun to open the box to see what’s there. Best of all, your beer lover gets a new gift every month for the next year, thereby remembering your generosity and feeling guilt over the schlocky gift he or she bought you.  

I think mine was the beer of the month club, but there’s also a micro beer club and others out there. If you’ve joined one of these and you love it (or hate it), let us know!   Image from beer of the month club
