On a romantic event like Valentine’s Day, you might want to go higher than a six-pack or one of those “funny” beer accessories like a helmet with two straws if you have someone in your life who really loves beer. I’ve looked through beer lovers’ reviews to help me locate the items they’ll truly appreciate and enjoy – think fancy glasses, a stunning bottle opener, coffee-table novels they’ll actually want to read, and more.
Portable Beer Coolers
Beer coolers are adored by almost everyone who uses them since they are virtually indestructible and keep food, drinks and ice cold for hours on end. As a result, a beer cooler would be an excellent present for a beer enthusiast on the road who wants to keep their brews very cold. A sturdy soft-sided cooler with a wide-mouth opening and ultra-strong magnets to hold it closed, as well as a top handle, a shoulder strap, a leak-proof liner, and a shell that resists mildew, punctures, and UV rays, is standard on most quality coolers.
Mini-Fridge for Beer
Consider a sturdy mini-fridge for the beer enthusiast in your life who prefers to remain home. Maybe their fridge is bursting at the seams with bottles of European craft beer they are yet to try and they need extra storage, or perhaps they just like to have a lot of alternatives when they host a party. A refrigerator’s fundamental purpose of keeping drinks cold and food fresh is not limited to our homes. This present could be for a student living in a dorm with basic refrigeration needs, or for a company owner who requires cold beverages for any clients or guests who sit down.
Stainless Steel Beer Koozies with Insulation
Even on a hot summer day, stainless-steel koozies keep your drink icy cold. Beer koozies come in a regular size that will keep their favourite bottles of local beer icy cold, too, for the beer drinker in your life. Because glass is prohibited on many beaches and in certain state parks, your favourite beer enthusiast is likely to be carrying cans all summer. For summertime sipping, you may convert the bottle koozie gift to a can insulator. They’re small, resilient, and keep your beer cool even on the hottest days.
Traditional German Beer Mug
Then you have the ultimate gift for yourself or that special someone who enjoys unusual European experiences and high-end things. I’m talking about the gorgeous and traditional german beer mug with a not so gorgeous history.
The german beer steins arose as a result of legislation imposed in many German principalities requiring all beverage and food containers to be covered. The rules, as well as others relating to sanitary conditions, were enacted in response to fears that a return of the bubonic plague, commonly known as the Black Death, would be brought about by multiple insect invasions across Central Europe in the mid to late fifteenth century.
Most people drank beer from cups made of permeable earthenware or wood until that time. The high and middle classes drank from beakers, which were glass, pewter, or silver containers. From the mid-nineteenth through the early twentieth centuries, stoneware steins with Renaissance designs and motifs became increasingly popular in Germany. Today, you can still find authentic looking german beer glasses and mesmerise the beer lover in your life.
Craft Beer Tasting Kit (Set of 4)
Give them a four-piece sample set, which includes an IPA glass, a glass for stouts, and one for American wheat beer, if you’re not sure what sort of beer they prefer but still want to enhance their glassware with novelty pint glasses.
Members of the tasting workshop experimented with various glass shapes to determine the optimum glass for India Pale Ale, Wheat Beer, Stout, and Barrel-Aged Beer. The custom-shaped glasses, according to the experts, successfully communicate the richness of smells on the nose while displaying the best beer texture, balance, and taste intensity on the palate.
The Oxford Companion to Beer
When it comes to presenting a beer-related gift, I think the Oxford Companion to Beer is a terrific choice. It’s ideal for someone who knows a little bit about beer and wants to learn more but doesn’t want to wade through the glut of beer books on the market.
It’s a very approachable encyclopaedic record for beer, despite its richness, because it’s quite succinct and tightly written. Even if they don’t use it every time they crack open a beer, it looks great on a bookshelf or coffee table. It covers a wide range of issues with a diverse range of viewpoints, and it covers everything from technical understanding to the beer industry’s cultural influences.
uKeg Copper Carbonated Growler
Try this fancy stainless-steel growler with a pressure monitor and a carbonation lid that automatically regulates pressure to effectively carbonate beer, according to the product description, if you truly want to wow your cold-one swigging loved one.
The uKeg keeps your beer fresh for weeks, just like a small keg. The CO2 cartridge dispenses one uKeg of beer, leaving you with enough pressure to clean the growler with water and pour it from the tap.
Beer Opener
When it comes to bottle openers, you can’t go wrong with a good one for a beer fan. A good bottle opener should feel solid and operate effectively. It’s a spark for every giddy moment you crack open a beer. It must be unique enough to garner increasing amounts of meaning and purpose with each use. Handcrafted from solid brass and personalized with a personal phrase, it definitely has that “special enough” quality.
