Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys home brewing beer and cider, there are several thoughtful and personalized gift ideas you can consider for Christmas. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Home Brewing Kit: Upgrading your son's brewing equipment can be a fantastic gift. Look for a high-quality brewing kit that includes all the necessary tools and ingredients to make beer or cider. Consider one that allows experimentation with different recipes and flavors.

2. Ingredients and Recipe Book: Help expand your son's brewing repertoire by gifting him a collection of unique ingredients like hops, malt extracts, or specialty yeast strains. Additionally, a recipe book with a wide variety of beer and cider recipes will give him inspiration and ideas for brewing different styles.

3. Brewing Classes or Workshops: Enroll your son in a brewing class or workshop. These can help him refine his skills, learn new techniques, and connect with other brewing enthusiasts. It's an excellent opportunity for him to expand his knowledge and network in the brewing community.

4. Customized Labels or Tap Handles: Surprise your son with custom-made labels for his beer bottles or personalized tap handles for his keg setup. These small details will add a unique touch to his brewing experience and allow him to showcase his creativity.

5. Beer or Cider Subscription: Sign your son up for a beer or cider subscription service that delivers a selection of different beverages to his doorstep regularly. This gift will provide him with the opportunity to discover new flavors and styles from around the world while also supporting small breweries.

6. Brewery Tour: Treat your son to a brewery tour where he can experience the brewing process on a larger scale. Many breweries offer guided tours that include tastings and insights into the art of brewing. This gift will not only be enjoyable but also educational.

7. DIY Brewing Supplies Organizers: Help your son keep his brewing area clean and organized by gifting him storage solutions specifically designed for brewing supplies. Consider items like storage bins, wall-mounted racks, or shelves to keep everything in order and easily accessible.

8. Beer or Cider Festival Tickets: If there's a beer or cider festival happening in your area, surprise your son with tickets. This will allow him to explore a wide range of brews, interact with other enthusiasts, and immerse himself in the brewing culture.

Remember, the key to finding the perfect gift for your son is understanding his specific brewing preferences, such as the types of beer or cider he enjoys making. By considering these suggestions, you can choose a meaningful and personal present that aligns with his passion for home brewing.

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

“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.”
