Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves brewing beer or cider, there are plenty of meaningful and thoughtful gift ideas to consider this Christmas. Here are a few options:

1. Brewing Starter Kit: If your son is just starting out, a brewing starter kit will be an ideal gift. Look for an all-in-one kit that includes the necessary equipment, ingredients, and instructions. This will not only provide him with everything he needs to make his own beer/cider but also help him explore and develop his brewing skills.

2. Brewing Book: A comprehensive brewing book will be a valuable addition to your son's collection. Look for a book that covers various brewing techniques, recipes, troubleshooting tips, and equipment recommendations. This will not only enhance his knowledge but also inspire him to experiment and create unique brews.

3. Brewery Tour: Consider gifting your son a brewery tour experience. Many breweries offer behind-the-scenes tours where he can learn about different brewing techniques and processes. This will provide an opportunity for him to gain insights from professionals in the field, helping him refine his skills and broaden his understanding of the craft.

4. Brewing Classes: Enrolling your son in a brewing class or workshop can be an excellent gift choice. Look for local establishments or online platforms that offer hands-on brewing courses. This will allow him to learn new techniques, interact with other brewing enthusiasts, and expand his knowledge under the guidance of experienced instructors.

5. Unique Ingredients: Help your son experiment with new flavors and styles by gifting him unique brewing ingredients. Look for specialty hops, yeast strains, fruit extracts, or spices that he can incorporate into his brews. This will open up endless possibilities for him to create exciting and personalized concoctions.

6. Customized Brewing Equipment: Make your son's brewing experience more special by gifting him customized brewing equipment. Consider getting his equipment engraved with his initials, favorite brewing quote, or a personalized message. This will not only add a personal touch to his brewing setup but also make it a cherished keepsake.

7. Brew Journal: Encourage your son to keep track of his brewing adventures by gifting him a brew journal. Look for a journal specifically designed for brewers, with sections for recording recipes, tasting notes, and brewing observations. This will enable him to refine his techniques, replicate successful brews, and document his journey in the world of brewing.

Remember, the key is to choose a gift that aligns with your son's passion for brewing beer or cider. By selecting something that supports his hobby and allows him to explore and refine his skills, you are not only showing your support but also helping him further his love for the craft.

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.”
