Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who has a passion for craft beer, there are plenty of gift options that will not only enhance his love for beer but also provide him with a memorable experience. Here are a few ideas:

1. Beer Brewing Kit: Help your son take his passion to the next level by gifting him a beer brewing kit. This will allow him to create his own unique craft beers at home. Look for a kit that includes all the necessary ingredients and equipment, along with detailed instructions. This gift will not only offer him a fun and rewarding hobby but also allow him to experiment with different flavors and styles.

2. Craft Beer Tasting Set: Consider purchasing a craft beer tasting set for your son. These usually include a variety of different types of craft beer that he can sample and compare. Look for sets that feature a selection of beers from various breweries, both local and international. This gift will allow him to expand his palate and discover new favorites.

3. Brewery Tour and Tasting Experience: Treat your son to a brewery tour and tasting experience. Many craft breweries offer guided tours where he can learn about the brewing process and sample their different brews. Consider booking a tour at a local brewery or, if possible, plan a trip to a renowned craft beer region known for its breweries, such as Portland, Oregon or Asheville, North Carolina. This gift will not only provide him with a memorable experience but also expand his knowledge and appreciation for craft beer.

4. Craft Beer Subscription Box: Surprise your son with a craft beer subscription box. There are several companies that offer monthly or quarterly deliveries of carefully curated craft beers. Look for a subscription service that offers a variety of styles and focuses on unique, hard-to-find brews. This gift will allow your son to continually explore new flavors and breweries without leaving the comfort of his own home.

5. Beer Accessories: Enhance your son's craft beer experience with some stylish and practical beer accessories. Consider gifting him a set of quality beer glasses specifically designed for different styles of beer, such as pint glasses, tulip glasses, or snifters. You could also include a beer tasting journal or a beer recipe book for inspiration. Additionally, you can explore unique bottle openers, growlers, or personalized coasters to add a personal touch to his beer-drinking experience.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is thoughtfulness. Pay attention to your son's preferences and interests within the craft beer world, and choose a gift that reflects his unique tastes. With any of these gift ideas, you're sure to make his Christmas extra special and support his passion for craft beer.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
