Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys homebrewing beer or cider, I have a few great gift ideas that will enhance his brewing experience and show him how much you support his hobby.

1. Homebrewing Kit: Consider upgrading his brewing setup with a high-quality homebrewing kit. Look for a kit that includes all the necessary equipment, like a fermenter, airlock, thermometer, hydrometer, and siphon. This will allow him to brew larger batches and experiment with different recipes more easily.

2. Brewing Recipe Book: A comprehensive brewing recipe book will inspire your son to try new flavors and experiment with different beer or cider styles. Look for a book that covers a wide range of recipes and brewing techniques. This will expand his knowledge and help him refine his skills as a homebrewer.

3. Ingredient Subscription: Give your son the gift of ongoing inspiration by subscribing him to a homebrew ingredient subscription service. These services typically deliver pre-measured ingredient kits to his doorstep each month, allowing him to try new recipes and experiment with different flavors without the hassle of sourcing individual ingredients.

4. Brewing Class or Workshop: If he enjoys learning hands-on, a brewing class or workshop could be a fantastic gift. Look for local breweries or homebrew supply stores that offer classes on brewing techniques, recipe development, or specific beer styles. Not only will he learn new skills, but he'll also have the opportunity to connect with other homebrewers in his community.

5. Beer or Cider Tasting Set: To further develop your son's appreciation for different beer or cider styles, consider gifting him a tasting set. Look for a set that includes different glasses specifically designed to enhance the aroma and flavor of various styles. Pair it with a selection of unique and craft beers or ciders for him to try.

6. Personalized Brewing Accessories: Add a personal touch to his brewing experience by gifting him custom-made brewing accessories. Consider having a set of pint glasses or coasters engraved with his name, initials, or a special message. You can also explore personalized labels for his finished brews to add an extra level of pride and professionalism to his creations.

7. Beer or Cider Festival Tickets: Surprise your son with tickets to a beer or cider festival. This will give him the opportunity to sample a wide variety of craft brews, learn from industry experts, and connect with fellow beer enthusiasts. It's a fun and memorable way to celebrate his passion for brewing.

Remember, the key to finding the perfect gift is to show your support and enthusiasm for his hobby. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests, you'll demonstrate that you value his passion for homebrewing and want to help him continue to grow as a brewer.

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.”
