Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son enjoys microbrewery tours, there are a few gift ideas that can bring that passion into his everyday life. Here are some suggestions:

1. Craft Beer Subscription Box: Give your son the gift that keeps on giving with a craft beer subscription box. This allows him to discover new and unique brews from different microbreweries every month, right in the comfort of his own home. Each box usually includes a curated selection of craft beers, tasting notes, and sometimes even snacks or merchandise related to the breweries.

2. Home Brewing Kit: If your son has expressed interest in learning the brewing process, why not gift him a home brewing kit? This allows him to experiment with different ingredients and techniques in order to create his own unique beer. Home brewing kits come in various sizes and complexities, so you can choose one that suits his level of experience and interest.

3. Beer Tasting Set: Help your son refine his palate with a beer tasting set. This can include specialized glasses designed to enhance the aroma and flavor profiles of different beer styles. Alternatively, you can find tasting sets that include a selection of beers crafted by microbreweries, along with detailed tasting notes and information about each beer's characteristics.

4. Brewing Books: Expand your son's knowledge about microbreweries and the art of craft beer with informative and entertaining brewing books. There are plenty of options to choose from, ranging from beginner’s guides to advanced manuals on brewing techniques, beer styles, and the history of breweries. This gift can provide him with hours of reading and learning, further fueling his passion for microbrewery tours.

5. Brewery Tour Experience: Instead of just gifting him beer-related items, consider surprising your son with an actual microbrewery tour experience. Research local breweries that offer tours and tastings, and book a day for him to enjoy the behind-the-scenes process of brewing beer. Not only will he get to taste some amazing beers, but he'll also have the opportunity to learn from the brewers themselves and gain insider knowledge about his favorite beverage.

6. Beer-Related Merchandise: If your son loves microbreweries, chances are he appreciates beer-related merchandise as well. Consider getting him some brewery-branded clothing, pint glasses, growlers, or even beer-infused snacks like pretzels or jerky. These items can be both practical and sentimental, reminding him of his passion for microbrewery tours every time he uses them.

Remember to choose a gift that aligns with your son’s preferences and level of interest in microbrewery tours. Whether it's experiencing new brews, exploring the brewing process, or expanding his knowledge, these gift ideas will surely make his Christmas special and keep him engaged with his favorite hobby.

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.”
