Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys homebrewing and craft beer making, there are plenty of gift options that would enhance his hobby and provide him with a unique and meaningful present. Here are a few ideas:

1. Brewing Kit: Consider getting him a high-quality homebrewing kit that includes all the necessary equipment, such as fermenters, airlocks, thermometers, and siphon tubes. Look for a kit that offers different recipe options, allowing him to experiment with various beer styles.

2. Recipe Book: Help him expand his brewing knowledge and repertoire with a comprehensive craft beer recipe book. Look for one that covers different styles, techniques, and tips from professional brewers, as well as incorporating a variety of ingredients.

3. Brewing Classes: Enroll him in a local brewing class or workshop where he can learn from experienced brewers and gain hands-on experience. This could be an opportunity for him to refine his techniques, learn new styles, and meet other beer enthusiasts.

4. Brewery Tour: Treat him to a guided brewery tour in your area or plan a trip to a renowned beer region. This experience will expose him to different brewing processes, ingredients, and styles while offering inspiration for his own creations.

5. Unique Ingredients: Consider gifting him a selection of unique and specialty ingredients for brewing. Look for rare hops, yeast strains, or malt varieties that he might not easily find at his local supply store. This would allow him to experiment and create truly unique beers.

6. Personalized Growler: Purchase a customized growler that features his name, a meaningful quote, or a fun design. He can use it to store and transport his homebrewed beer while showing off his passion for craft beer-making.

7. Beer Tasting Set: Gift him a beer tasting set that includes various glasses designed specifically for different beer styles. This will enhance his beer tasting experience and help him appreciate the complexities of different brews.

8. Subscription Box: Consider a subscription to a craft beer delivery service. These services usually send a curated selection of craft beers from different breweries each month, offering him the opportunity to discover new flavors and styles.

9. Brewery Merchandise: Purchase merchandise from his favorite local brewery or a well-known craft brewery. This could include T-shirts, glassware, or bar accessories. Supporting his favorite breweries can also help him feel connected to the craft beer community.

10. DIY Brewing Station: If he has limited space for brewing, consider building or purchasing a small, portable DIY brewing station. This can include a compact brewing setup with all the necessary equipment neatly organized, making it easier and more convenient for him to indulge in his hobby.

Remember, the best gift is one that shows thought and consideration. Pay attention to his preferences and favorite types of beer. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion for craft beer making, you will not only provide him with a meaningful present but also show your support for his interests and hobbies.

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.”
