Last gasp for the late buyer

Ok, this is going to be the last gift post of the year, since if you don’t finish your Christmas shopping today you need to get off the computer and get to the store. Let’s face it, after today no one’s going to deliver anything you order in time for Christmas anyway, so it’s bricks and morter for anything you’ve got left.

The good news is that there’s one weekend to go before Christmas, so why not combine gift buying with a visit to your favorite microbrewery for some swag? For those of us around Philadelphia, that means the really cool merchandise at places like Dogfish Head and Flying Fish, to say nothing of the fine beers at Victory or the traditional flair of Yuengling. My wife has the really cool Flying Fish earrings pictured above, and shopping at a brewery sure beats going to the mall.

For those of you elsewhere, this article recaps some of the best gift ideas for the beer lover, including Dogfish Head’s beer buckle bottle opener, so get out there and get shopping. Oh, and have a pint to celebrate when you’re done.
