Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves microbrewing and craft beer tasting, there are several thoughtful and unique gift ideas that can enhance his brewing and tasting experience. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Beer Brewing Kit: To further indulge his passion for microbrewing, consider getting him a beer brewing kit. There are various kits available for all levels of expertise, ranging from beginner to advanced. Look for a kit that includes everything he'll need to brew his own beer at home, such as ingredients, equipment, and instructions.

2. Craft Beer Subscription: Give your son the gift that keeps on giving throughout the year with a craft beer subscription. Many breweries and online platforms offer monthly or quarterly beer subscription boxes that feature a selection of unique and rare beers. This will give him the opportunity to try different styles and flavors from all over the world.

3. Beer Tasting Glasses and Flight Sets: Enhance his beer tasting experience by gifting him a set of specialized beer glasses and flight sets. Look for glasses designed for specific beer styles, such as IPA, stout, or Belgian ales, as they can enhance the aroma and flavor. Flight sets typically include small glasses and a wooden tray, allowing him to sample different beers side by side.

4. Beer Recipe Books: Help him expand his brewing skills and knowledge with a collection of beer recipe books. Look for books that focus on specific styles, techniques, or beer history. This way, he can experiment with new recipes and create his own unique brews.

5. Brewery Tour or Tasting Experience: If you really want to treat your son, consider arranging a brewery tour or tasting experience. Many breweries offer guided tours where he can learn about the brewing process, sample different beers, and interact with brewers. Alternatively, you could book tickets to a beer festival or event where he can explore a wide variety of craft beers.

6. Beer Appreciation Workshop: Another fun and educational gift idea is to enroll your son in a beer appreciation workshop. These workshops are often organized by breweries or beer sommeliers and offer a deeper understanding of beer styles, flavors, and the art of tasting. He'll have the chance to enhance his palate and discover new nuances in his favorite drink.

Remember, the key to finding the perfect gift is to consider your son's interests and passions while also adding a personal touch. Tailoring your gift to his love for microbrewing and craft beer tasting shows that you've put thought into finding something he will truly enjoy.

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.”
