There you are, one and a half shopping days left until Christmas and you still need a gift for that beer lover in your life. Well you couldn’t be more lucky as there are plenty of things you can get them that they will truly appreciate. Of course, you could always go for the gag gift and get them some O’douls! All kidding aside, we have a collection below of great last minute Christmas gifts that you should be able to get, even at the final hour.
Mix a Six
More and more liquor stores across the country are allowing you to mix and match and build your own six pack. This is great as it allows you get them 6 different beers. If you are not sure what to put in it hopefully you can turn to the local “beer guy” or “beer gal” at the store to guide you in the right direction. Price $8-$20
Growler
Who wouldn’t want a growler full of great beer as a Christmas present? Tap handles are popping up at liquor stores and breweries around the country and they are allowing you to fill a growler with fresh draft beer. The growler is double the fun. You are not only getting them fresh beer but also a vessel that they can use over and over to get more beer. You can be sure they will think about you each and every time they go to fill it back up. Price (Growler $7-$20, The Beer to put in it $5-$20)
Beer Wars
This is the David vs Goliath movie of the the beer world. It’s a documentary focusing on the trials and tribulations smaller craft brewers of America face trying to get there product out to the public. It shows the fight for shelf space and how the 3 top brewers are trying very hard to control the market even further. Price $10-$20
Beer Literature
There are tons of great beer books out there that can open your mind to new styles of beers and even new breweries. The books by Michael Jackson (No, not that guy!) are fantastic, but there are tons of new ones coming out all the time. As we try to show in our Study Hall articles, “the more you learn about beer, the more enjoyable your next pint can be!” Price $10-$20
