Gift guide for the beer-loving dad
Father’s Day gifts for the beer-loving Dad.
By Aimee Heckel
Microbrews. Craft beers. Beer clubs. Home brewing. Beer has become more than just a beverage. For many people, it’s entertainment — a lifestyle.
The craft brewing industry surged 18 percent last year, according to the Brewers Association. The American Homebrewers Association reports there are 1.2 million American homebrewers — most of which are married or in a domestic partnership and, on average, 40 years old. If that includes your dad or partner, consider organizing a beer-themed Father’s Day this year.
Here are some of our favorite gifts for the beer-loving dad.
1. New to brewing? If Dad’s always been curious about making his own brew, start him off with a homebrewing starter kit. Northern Brewer sells a starter kit, “A Brewery in a Box,” complete with an instructional DVD, for about $80.
For a more comprehensive package, check out Monster Brew’s starter kit, $134, which includes bottles, ingredients and all the hardware Dad will need to begin.
2. On a budget? Get Dad a personalized beer mug, like this one at the Personalization Mall, on sale for just $24.45.
3. Think Dad has it all? Here’s a unique spin on the cooler or carrying case: Etsy.com sells a wooden six-pack carrying crate for $24.99. Stock it with Dad’s favorite beer and it’s a beautiful gift that’s practical, too. Here’s another style for a personalized wooden beer crate; this version looks almost antique.
