Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves exploring different types of craft beers, there are several thoughtful gift ideas that can enhance his beer-tasting experience and expand his knowledge of craft beer.

1. Craft Beer Subscription Box: Consider giving your son a craft beer subscription box that delivers a curated selection of unique and rare craft beers every month. These boxes often include tasting notes, brewery profiles, and sometimes even snacks that pair well with the beers. It’s a great way for him to discover new breweries and styles, expanding his knowledge and palate.

2. Beer Tasting Set: A beer tasting set can elevate his at-home beer tasting experience. Look for a set that includes different types of glasses, such as tulip, snifter, and pilsner glasses, which are designed to enhance the flavors and aromas of specific beer styles. Additionally, you could include tasting notepads or books to help him keep track of his thoughts and preferences.

3. Brewery Tour or Beer Festival Tickets: Treat your son to tickets for a brewery tour or a beer festival in his area. This will give him the opportunity to learn about the brewing process, meet brewers, and taste a wide variety of craft beers. He will enjoy the immersive experience and gain a deeper understanding of the craft beer industry.

4. Homebrewing Kit: If your son has expressed interest in brewing his own beer, consider gifting him a homebrewing kit. There are kits available for beginners that provide all the necessary equipment and ingredients to get started. This will allow him to experiment with the brewing process and create his very own craft beers.

5. Beer Books: There are many fascinating books available that delve into the history, science, and art of craft beer. Look for books with titles like "The Complete Beer Course" by Joshua M. Bernstein or "Tasting Beer" by Randy Mosher. These books will provide your son with in-depth knowledge about beer styles, brewing techniques, and the culture of craft beer.

6. Beer Accessories: Help your son enhance his beer-tasting experience with some practical accessories. Consider getting him a set of beer flight boards, beer chillers, unique bottle openers, or even a personalized growler. These accessories will make his craft beer exploration more enjoyable and stylish.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your love and support for your son's interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion for craft beer, you are not only giving him something he will truly appreciate but also acknowledging and encouraging him to continue pursuing his interests and expanding his knowledge in this area.

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.”
