11 perfect gift ideas for beer lovers
Do you have real beer lovers in your group of friends or family and you have to decide what gift to choose for them?
The holidays are fast approaching and many of us are already trying to find ideas for the perfect gifts for our loved ones. If you have one or more beer enthusiasts around you, you've probably thought about and even gifted them a classic six pack, or maybe you've offered them all kinds of beer from your travels you have been throughout time. Although these are also wonderful gifts, this time maybe you want to go for something closer to home or for a more special experience. Do you need some ideas to help you choose the perfect gift? Here they are below!
1. Tasting of craft beer
A beer tasting experience gift can be a wonderful way to give a special memory to someone who loves beer. Look for beer festivals or local craft beer tasting events. Craft beer is a delicious option that will change everything you knew about beer until now. A craft beer tasting in Bucharest offers the opportunity to taste and appreciate a variety of beers produced in this way, from most craft beer producers.
Beyond the chance to taste a series of extremely interesting beers, this opportunity also comes with the opportunity to discover the tradition and craft of beer in Romania. More than a simple tasting, this gift experience will offer a loved one a journey in the culture and history of beer, in an adventure that combines the pleasure of taste with knowledge.
In addition, if you have several friends who love beer, you can make this gift a good opportunity to spend a few hours with friends. You can taste together 5 different beers, from different producers, delving into the story of each of them starting from the origin of the ingredients and reaching the manufacturing process. Of course, in order for the experience to be complete, the cold craft beer will be accompanied by carefully chosen snacks to perfect the taste and flavor of each individual beer. What better gift for the beer lover in your life?
2. Beer tasting guide
If you want the gift of the above experience to be accompanied by a classic gift, buy a book or a guide that will teach them about the art of tasting beer, with information about types of beer, styles, tastes and culinary pairings. You can perfectly combine the two gifts for an excellent surprise!
3. A diverse selection of beer
Select several types of special beer, either from local breweries, or from other regions or even from other countries. You can opt for craft beers, IPA (India Pale Ale), stout, porter or beers with exotic flavors. Buy them in individual bottles or in tasting boxes.
Make sure you choose beers that suit the tastes of the person you are giving this gift to and try to customize the tasting set to make it more special. This gift is perfect for those who appreciate the diversity and complexity of beer.
4. Prepaid gift cards for your favorite beer
If you are not really sure which is your favorite beer and what would be better to choose for the beer fans in your life, or if you simply want to let them make a choice themselves, go for a gift card with which they can choose alone the beer they want. You can choose such a card for a good friend or a family member.
If you don't find such cards in your area, you can opt for a visit to a store specializing in beer, where you can choose your favorite beers, and in the end you will be the one to pay for the purchases. Relax and enjoy the experience together!
5. Beer tasting tours
If you want to go one step further, offer your dear beer lovers an unforgettable experience with a beer tasting or a tasting tour, either in your city or in another city.
Depending on your budget, you can choose various options: a tour with beer and pizza around the city, with the help of an application or a map that you give as a gift. The lucky person who receives this gift will enjoy tasting various beers, pizza with the most delicious toppings, new beer flavors, and a tour of the city, guided by an interactive map with all the must-see attractions. And no, such tours are not only for tourists... How many times have you had the chance to allow yourself to become a tourist in your own city and visit it from this perspective? A tour can give a loved one a new perspective of the objectives he passes by every day without giving them due importance.
6. Set for beer tastings
If your friend is not a big fan of going out, but likes to do beer tastings at home, you can meet his passion with a set specially designed for beer tasting. It can include several small tasting glasses, each with a different design to highlight the specific aromas and tastes of the beers. Some sets may also include a tasting palette or a guidebook for beer tasting. A tasting palette is a useful tool for evaluating the color, taste and smell of beer. It can be used during tasting sessions to better understand the characteristics of the beer.
And if you want to add a delicious addition, complete the beer tasting experience with various snacks, such as nuts, potato chips, cheeses, sausages or chocolate with beer flavors.
7. Discover how beer is made
Is your loved one not only interested in drinking beer, but also in how beer is produced? Do you know for sure that he would like to learn how these wonderful aromas and tastes end up in the bottle? Many large breweries offer guided tours, but they rarely allow people to get close enough to see exactly the brewing process. You can try this different and extremely interesting approach and bring a beer enthusiast as close as possible to the manufacturing process of his favorite drink.
8. Maps with local breweries
If the one for whom you are choosing a gift lives in an area with many local beer producers or if you know that he is about to go on a trip or vacation in such a city or area, feed his passion with a set of maps or guides of local breweries, to encourage him to explore the beers produced in the respective area. It will be a unique gift and it will show him how attentive you are to his pleasures and passions.
9. Subscription to a beer club
A beer club membership can be a great way to provide a consistent tasting experience. Beer clubs regularly deliver selections of craft beers and accessories for tasting, which the beer enthusiasts in your life will enjoy without a doubt. Do not hesitate and choose such a gift if you want to delight both the soul and the taste buds of the recipient.
10. Tour to a local brewery
Many breweries offer guided tours of their facilities, which include explanations of the brewing process, the history of beer and, of course, a tasting of the various beers produced there. You can buy a ticket or a voucher to give a loved one such an experience.
11. Thematic evening with international beers
Organize a special evening at home for friends, where you can taste and discuss beers from different countries or regions. You can even choose some beer-related games or quizzes to make the experience more fun. We guarantee a special evening, full of fun, the ideal opportunity to learn new things and experience new tastes.
No matter what type of gift you choose to give to the beer enthusiasts in your life, make sure you choose the experience that suits the tastes and preferences of the person in question, so that they can enjoy this beer tasting experience to the fullest.
