Secret Santa Gifts
    #19250088 - 12/09/13 01:15 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Alright Pub
Need some ideas on what to get a good friend of mine for a secret santa
Hes a craft beer kinda guy and loves his beers. I was going to get some rare IPAs for him but my insider info has led me at a dead end, since he has a cupboard filled with specific beers and what not.

So my question is What gift could i give a beer lover thats not beer. He has an assortment of glasses already as well.
50$+/- is my limit.

i guarantee if he's a microbrew fan he will not be upset with more beer no matter how much beer he already has.

^This

If there are any microbreweries in your area a growler from that place would be good. At the microbreweries in my town a new growler costs like $30 bucks, and refills are $12-$15. You end up saving like 20% on beer. Thats what my mom got me for christmas last year, and I have been pleased with it.

Which region do you live in? I'm an avid beer-lover too and may be able to help.

One thing with IPAs and double/imperial IPAs is that they are meant to be drank as fresh as possible. You may have noticed Stone's "Enjoy By" at the store-

These are a guarantee. The Enjoy By date is 30 days past brewing, and they make the date obvious so stores will take them off the shelves timely. Anything within the first month of being brewed will be much more flavorful. Most breweries use a "bottled on" date, but some use a "best/enjoy by date"
http://freshbeeronly.com/The_Fresh_Beer_List.html

Anything stout, or scotch ales, or barleywines will age wonderfully, and therefore you don't need to worry about age as much.

But yea, what region of the US are you in? Tons of region-specific IPAs and great beers in general.

Oh man, you got a lot of options there :tongue2: lucky bastard :mad: :wink:
Anything Stone, Green Flash, Ballast Point, AleSmith, Firestone Walker.. :drooling: Can't go wrong. Just remember to check the dates on those IPAs :grin:

Glasses are always fun too. Even the funny novelty shapes like this can-shaped one :lol:


You'd have to order that one though :wink: No Founders (brewery that makes that glass) in Cali AFAIK

thanks for the insit PcPlease

Would have never thought about checking for freshness.

Got a good lead on a local store that carry's an array of craft brews so hopefully i can source something rare and good.

and that glass is pretty cool i like the brim, just like a can.

No problem! I like that glass too :grin: It's on my Christmas list actually :tongue2:

I'm sure you'll find something great at the store :thumbup: The employees will be able to tell you which IPAs are fresh.

You can't go wrong with a fresh IPA, it's something he'll get to enjoy that night rather than something that he's gonna want to stow away.

Not gonna find that around SoCal bud :wink: That's a Vermont only beer. He could find some fresh Pliny the Elder, which I'm sure is in the top 5, though. He's probably already had whatever beer the OP gets him :shrug: but a fresh IPA is ensured a great beer that OP's friend will appreciate. Because if you aren't a craft drinker, you probably don't know about the importance of freshness with these very hop-forward beers.

And you're not buying Heady online, it's pretty much only available for trading. And beer trading is expensive :sad:
