There is nothing worse than flat beer. Bleh. There are growlers and there are Growlers but the uKeg from GrowlerWerks is a GROWLER in all caps. The uKeg keeps your beer fresh for weeks. It features a carbonation cap that automatically regulates pressure to optimally carbonate beer. You choose your desired carbonation level from zero to 15 PSI.
The uKeg is made of stainless steel that is double-walled and vacuum-insulated. The dispenser tap allows for easy pouring at any time without any need to remove a cap. There’s also a tap lock to prevent inadvertent dispensing. Read what pressure you’re sitting at by taking a gander at the pressure gauge at the bottom of the sight glass that shows how much beer you have left.
Everything about this GROWLER (all caps) is quality-built. And in an effort to cater to your own unique design sensibilities, the tap handle is interchangeable so if you’re looking to show off your fandom for a particular brewer, go for it. The GrowlerWerks uKeg comes in 64oz and 128oz sizes as well as stainless steel, copper, or black chrome varieties.

The time for drinking beer straight from a can is over. The Fizzics DraftPour Beer Dispenser converts the carbonation of a beer straight out of a can or bottle into dense, uniformly sized bubbles (think nitro) that enhance the aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel. DraftPour makes every beer taste better.
Beer from a tap is simply better than out of a package. But if you can’t hit the bar during the pandemic, just put your favorite bottle or can into the Fizzics DraftPour for creamy, smooth, fresh from the tap taste. The machine will accommodate any can or bottle, including bombers and 16oz cans and any type of beer including lagers, ales, stouts, IPAs, sours, beers, porters, ambers, and more.
Because it’s built with zinc-reinforced PC-ABS composite with titanium metallic and matte finishes, the DraftPour is incredibly easy to keep clean and will look fantastic for years to come. DraftPour is powered via USB cord and wall adapter or on two AA batteries (not included) which makes it great at your home saloon or convenient enough to take camping, tailgating, to the beach, or out on the patio.

Keep their beer cooler for longer with the incredible quality of YETI. Their YETI Rambler Colster Can is my own personal go-to for beer-drinking around the house, as it keeps ’em frosty.

People who drink wine understand that the right glass enhances the experience both in aroma and taste. Well, wine snobs don’t have a lock on this practice; this assortment of Luminarc Craft Beer Glasses will do the same for your beer. Each vessel in this pack of six is ideally suited for a particular style of craft beer.
The set includes glasses for Belgian, Whitbier (wheat beer), a British pint for stouts, ales, and lagers, IPA, Pilsner, and Porter varieties. Don’t be content with drinking your beer from an aluminum can. Once you sample brews from these glasses, you’ll understand what you’ve been missing.

Nothing goes better with a cold beer than barbecue, pizza, and fresh, warm bread, so basically protein and carbs. Soberdough makes artisan bread-making kits that are delicious, easy to make, and feature beer as one of the ingredients. This Brew Bread Favorites Pack includes five of their beloved mixes: Cheesy Garlic, Hatch Green Chile Cheddar, Classic, Rosemary, and Apple Fritter.
These fun and easy-to-make mixes allow you to choose your favorite beer to make your own unique beer bread. Soberdough (love the name) uses 100% all-natural ingredients in their mixes and each mix makes one loaf of delicious beer bread. These mixes don’t contain oils, soy, or dairy and they’re all produced in a nut-free facility. It doesn’t get much yummier than this.

If you’re looking to demystify craft beer, then thank goodness for Joshua Bernstein and his excellent guidebook, The Complete Beer Course: Boot Camp for Beer Geeks. There are so many beers out there that it takes a book of this quality to break down what distinctively different and delicious directions beer takes.
Structured around a series of easy-to-follow classes, his course hops from lagers and pilsners to hazy wheat beers, Belgian-style abbey and Trappist ales, aromatic pale ales and bitter IPAs, roasty stouts, barrel-aged brews, belly-warming barley wines, and mouth-puckering sour ales. There is even a class on international beer styles and another on pairing beer with food and starting your own beer cellar. With this book, you’ll learn what you should be drinking and what you should dump down your drain.

HomeBrewedSoaps started out as a side hobby for a single mother in Bangor, Maine, and has turned into a full-time business making artisan handmade soaps out of all-natural ingredients. This three-pack of their best-selling ale soaps is the perfect gift for your beer lovers. They’re made from a base of vegan oils, natural ingredients, and (most importantly) home-brewed beer! This combination makes these soaps rustically beautiful and intoxicating with an incredible lather!
This natural soap set includes New England IPA, Herbal Mint, and Belgian Wheat Scrub. The IPA soap is a refreshing blend of citrus notes of grapefruit and orange with middle notes of earthy cedarwood and an undertone of cool fir needle. Belgian Wheat Scrub has top notes of citrus with subtle undertones of spicy clove and earth notes of coriander. This soap will lightly exfoliate your skin with the added wheatgerm. Herbal Mint is the perfect blend of earthy sage and cedar, fresh mint, and basil.

Well, here you go: the ultimate in keeping big (or a lot of) things cold. The Yeti Tundra 65 is the end-all, be-all of coolers. There are a number of reasons why this is and most of them have trademarked names because Yeti has made so many innovations within the insulated container industry that it was necessary.
For instance: ice stays ice thanks to up to 3 inches of “PermaFrost” (pressure-injected commercial-grade polyurethane foam insulation) and an extra thick “FatWall” (extra-thick walls that hold up to two inches of insulation) design that is certified…get this…bear-resistant. I’m guessing keeping beer safe from bears is a lot more poignant for hunters than for your backyard barbecue. But if you’re out in the field and you use your Tundra 65 for fresh game, this is definitely a priority.
Yeti uses something called “Rotomolded Construction” that makes this cooler virtually indestructible so wherever you decide to take its sturdiness will stand up to the rigors of the journey. All the Tundra coolers feature T-Rex Lid Latches (I love that term) made of heavy-duty rubber so you’ll never see another broken latch. Yeti makes the Tundra in several sizes and colors but the 65 is the biggest, baddest, and coldest cooler you’ll ever own. The price is worth it.

The Comic Book Story of Beer is a brilliantly-designed book that not only gives all of the details about the inception of beer but also is attractive enough that you’ll want to proudly display it on your bookshelf or coffee table. If you have ever wondered about the history of beer, don’t spirit into an internet rabbit hole. That’s boring and, well, a little sad.
Pick up this entertaining and informative graphic novel *coughcomicbookcough* and read up about your favorite beverage in a thoroughly enjoyable presentation. It’s super fun to read and highly recommended. Speaking of recommendations, read this tale to astonish with a pint of your favorite brew so you can be super cool at your next book club meeting.

Yeah, you could bring your beer to the beach party in any old portable cooler but I’m thinking maybe you’re more stylish than most. This beer caddy from Legacy is a most welcome step in the right direction. Made of waxed canvas, this six-pack cooler features a removable, padded liner and a bottle opener with a retractable cord in its own stow-away pocket. There’s an adjustable shoulder strap so you can BYOB wherever you roam in style!
If you’re toting your beer in bottles, the cover flap is perforated so you can remove a bottle without having to open it. The inner divider is removable so you can store other types of cans, bottles, or containers. This beer caddy is also backed with a built-to-last lifetime pledge to repair or replace if defective for any reason. It’s a great time for beer; bring yours with you with this incredibly cool Legacy Beer Caddy.

Who likes warm beer? Nobody, that’s who. I personally prefer beer that’s ice-cold out of a nice glass bottle. If you do too, then take a gander at the Chillsner by Corkcicle. Simply freeze this magical invention of refrigeration then insert into most standard-sized longneck beer bottles and enjoy.
Each Chillsner is made of smooth and strong stainless steel that freezes quickly, chills perfectly, and cleans without breaking a sweat. Cooling gel inside the Chillsner turns it into an incredibly effective cooling device. There’s an airtight seal at the top right above four flow vents that, when placed inside your bottle, keeps the beer where it should be and not all over your shirt.
The fine people at Corkcicle put out this two-pack because drinking alone is sad. Share with a loved one or a buddy. Don’t chug a fine-crafted brew before it gets warm. Use a Chillsner.

The hOmeLabs Beverage Cooler is ideal for your favorite beer-drinking space, to keep all drinks at their coldest. This free-standing refrigerator has a transparent glass door (why shouldn’t you show off that beautiful beer collection?) with a stainless steel frame. Its sleek, black exterior and white LED interior bulb lights up those beverages, day or night.
With three adjustable and removable shelves, this fridge has room for 120 standard soda pop or beer cans, bottles of water, and even wine bottles if you want to get fancy. The noiseless fan on the top level of the chamber provides consistent air circulation for a uniform temperature throughout the space. It has a noiseless compressor so it won’t keep you up at night as well. Make your life a whole lot easier, your party guests a whole lot happier, and your thirst quenched a whole lot faster with the hOmeLabs Beverage Cooler.

I prefer beer out of glass bottles but those bottles can really take up a lot of room in the fridge. These Fridge Monkey Bottle Stacking Mats each secure up to ten cans or five wine bottles in any combination. They’re made of grippy silicone-type material so they won’t slip or roll inside your fridge.
Each flexible mat organizes and enables the stacking of various jars, bottles, cans, and more. They come in cream, red, and blue colors as well. Lay down those beer bottles and maximize the available storage space within your refrigerator with these great Fridge Monkeys.

Emma Christensen is what you might call an inspired food and beverage scientist. This book, Brew Better Beer, is but one of her incredible how-to books from her large collection of foodie literature. With this deep dive into the world of making your own beer, she gives you the keys to the brewery.
Ms. Christensen will start you out by showing you how to master the basic styles, like A Very Good IPA and A Very Good Porter, then move on to inspired variations such as Centennial Dry-Hopped Double IPA, Campari IPA, and Smokey Chipotle Porter to discover which flavors, infusions, hops, and yeasts work best with each ale and lager. Want to brew a signature beer with your own personal stamp? Go wild with the “Make It Yours” suggestions and try tossing anything from cherries to chai spices into your brew.
This handy manual also demonstrates the mechanics of brewing all-extract, partial-extract, and all-grain brews, and includes a huge photographic guide to brewing beer so you can see exactly how each step is done. Brew small one-gallon batches (recommended!), perfect for apartment brewers and low-risk experimentation, or brew five gallons (recommended once you get the hang of it!) to share with all your friends.

I hate to admit it but the right glass paired with the appropriate style of beer does make a very big difference in the enjoyment of your beverage. Wine lovers have known this for years and craft beer fans are now coming around to the idea that fancy glasses are pretty awesome. Case in point: this six-pack of Spiegelau Classic IPA Beer Glasses.
The wide mouth with the laser-cut rim allows you to take in the delicious smell of your special bitter while drinking. That delivers the beer evenly across the palate to enhance the mouthfeel. The slender, bowed shape of the bowl pushes the hops aroma forward while the thin walls maintain the proper temperature for longer periods of time.
Yeah, I know; it sounds very highbrow. I didn’t believe it either until I tried a sample flight of beers in special glasses. After that, I was hooked. Spiegelau makes different shapes of glasses for different beers and it wouldn’t surprise me if you end up purchasing all of them. Highly recommended.

So you need a gift for a beer lover but they’ve already got every bottle, cooler, growler, and knick-knack under the sun? How about a gift that (with proper care) will keep on giving year after year? This Humulus Summer Shandy Hops Vine from Proven Winners is beautiful to look at, will come back every spring, and, if your beer lover makes their own beer, will provide fresh hops to use in their concoctions.
The plant is delivered in a #2 size container and is fully rooted in the soil. It can be planted immediately in soil upon arriving, weather permitting. This vine will be dormant from late fall through winter but will leaf out gloriously in the spring. It has a strong growth rate which makes it perfect to cover a fence or trellis; plus, it’s deer resistant!

You might not immediately think “Stanley Tools” when considering the purchase of a quality growler but let me tell you that the Stanley Go Growler with Ceramivac may be exactly what you need for your brew. This growler will keep beer cold for an entire day without refrigeration or a beverage iced for…wait for it…four days. Yikes, that’s some seriously cold stamina.
The vacuum-insulated double walls also keep drinks hot up to 18 hours so if you’re not using the Stanley Go for your beer, it’s great for coffee or soup. And while it’s mostly made of BPA-free stainless steel, this growler also features a ceramic-finished interior that won’t pass along a taste of steel while you’re enjoying your craft beer.
The Stanley Go Growler is leak-proof meaning it’s completely packable. The stout locking mechanism means you’ll never have to worry about leaks as you travel. It also features an easy-to-carry handle and it’s dishwasher safe. Stanley makes some seriously great tools and this growler is no different; it won’t rust, break, or let you down. How many things in your life can you say that about?

Hate warm beer? Me too. The BrüMate Hopsulator Trio Can Cooler is looking to keep your can or bottle cold forevermore. The Hopsulator Trio fits all your 16oz cans and comes with an adapter for those smaller 12oz cans. One quick switch turns this can cooler into a16oz pint glass.
The Hopsulator trio is made with double-walled stainless steel with an extra copper layer that will get those cans 20 times colder than your run-of-the-mill plastic can cooler. There’s also a gel pack to use with 12oz cans so they get the same high-level treatment. There’s nothing to it; push your can into the cooler and it will stay in place. When you’re done, simply unscrew the gasket or pull the can to go another round.
The outside of the Hopsulator Trio won’t sweat or freeze your hands. It remains dry and stays at a comfortable room temperature no matter how cold (or hot) your drink is. And forget about rings on the furniture. This can cooler won’t let that happen.
The BrüMate Hopsulator Trio Stainless Steel Insulated Can Cooler comes in six different colors but it doesn’t fit slim cans (or 12oz Coors cans). That’s okay because BrüMate makes a slim version for all you hard seltzer drinkers, too.

Let’s say you’re really getting into making beer and let’s say you’d like to experiment with growing your own ingredients. If that’s the case, then you owe it to yourself to grab a copy of The Homebrewer’s Garden by Joe Fisher and Dennis Fisher. If you have a backyard, or even a sunny porch or balcony, you can grow your own hops, brewing herbs, and malt grains to enhance your home-brewed beer.
Simple instructions from the beer-expert authors will guide you through every step of the process, from setting up your first hop trellis to planting and caring for your herbs, harvesting and drying them, malting grain, and brewing more than 25 recipes specifically designed for homegrown ingredients. Color photos of the plants, expanded information on growing hops in small spaces, innovative trellising ideas, and an expansive section on malting may have you turning your thumb green in no time.

This growler tote by Legacy will hold your existing 64-ounce glass or stainless growler jug for easy transport of your favorite beverage from your local watering hole. Made of water-resistant, durable waxed canvas with an attractive brown faux suede trim, this growler tote has an adjustable shoulder strap, a side carry handle, and a lace-up neck. This tote is definitely a step up from carrying around your typical brown jug. This lace-up growler tote comes in four different styles to suit your unique sensibilities.
-
The Decapitator bottle opener by Corkcicle might win the prize of my most favorite bottle opener. Don’t let the rather aggressive name of this device scare you off. Fitting over a capped bottle, it just takes one firm push from which no cap can escape.
There’s a magnet that holds the cap in place after removal making it quick and easy to dispose of. Use the Decapitator for beer, soft drinks, or anything else with a standard bottle cap. Effective, attractive, and simple, the Decapitator is plenty awesome.

You’ve undoubtedly heard of the Hydro Flask (especially if you have tween and teenager children); their reputation for insulating beverages all day long is well deserved. They have a line of drinkware that is not only incredibly effective at keeping your precious liquids chilled but their very nice to look at as well. Their 64oz Growler is guaranteed to keep your beer icy cold and carbonated during your adventures, both indoors and out.
This growler features something called a “Fresh Carry System” which provides a leak-proof seal with improved temperature control and easy portability. This vessel was very much designed with beer in mind. If you can’t settle on just one beer to bring along on your shenanigans, consider picking up a couple of 32oz Growlers; they’re smaller and just the right size to stow in your backpack while still keeping your craft brew icy cold and carbonated from morning until night.
-
The Built NY Welded Portable Cooler is the perfect soft cooler to bring to picnics, tailgates, BBQs, camping, or pretty much anywhere you’re bringing beer to. This cooler’s tough shell fabric (think whitewater raft material) allows durable, leak-proof use. The Welded Cooler can store up to 30 pounds of ice or ten pounds of ice and eighteen cans and keep those contents cold for days.
This cooler is constructed with a wide mouth and a roll-top opening which provides convenient loading and unloading and a comfortable shoulder strap for transport. This bag also includes a convenient built-in bottle opener (yay!). The Welded Cooler is box-stitched and features reinforced side handles as well as a high-strength 1000 Denier polyester core with double TPU coating to increase durability and provide resistance to puncture and abrasion. In other words, this bag is made to take a beating while keeping your precious beer safe.
This bag comes in six different colors and patterns and while you could spend double on another soft cooler whose name is a pseudeonym for “Sasquatch”, why would you when this Built NY Welded Portable Cooler does such an admirable and nice-looking job?

Yeti is a major player in the insulated container game and their Rambler Half Gallon Jug definitely maintains their street cred. This growler is complete with all the features you expect from the Yeti family including 18/8 stainless steel construction, double-wall vacuum insulation, and a design that won’t sweat no matter how hard it works out.
The Half Gallon Jug has a full inch of lid insulation to ensure your drinks stay frosty or piping hot for much, much longer than what you would consider reasonable. It’s outfitted with a MagCap which locks into its dock so you can partake without worry. The durable paint won’t fade, peel or crack through extended use and also provides additional grip to the Rambler’s exterior.
Yes, it’s expensive but so are most great things in life. Yeti has earned its reputation of making some of the finest insulated coolers, bags, and jugs anywhere. If you’re looking for a growler that’s going to keep your beer cold as the day is long, here it is. Go get it.

Your buddy just finished his mancave and invited you over to check it out. What makes a better cave-warming gift than this Craft Beer Flight Beverage Sampler from Legacy? This two-tiered tray is made of acacia wood with space for four 4oz beer glasses suspending in the top shelf. Convenient carry handles are carved into the sides of the tray for moving around, too.
An included soapstone pencil is great for labeling which brews are being presented by writing on the chalkboard panel on the front edge (you can use standard chalk, too). There are even hollowed areas underneath each glass to place the bottle cap of whatever fancy elixir you’re enjoying next. This set looks great, is totally functional, and will be enjoyed for years to come.
-
When you hear the name “Thermos“, you know you’re dealing with a titan of beverage magnificence that’s been around since 1904. Their Bottle Thermos is a beer bottle insulator that is ideal not only for bottles but cans as well. It’s made of food-grade stainless steel so you know that not only will it last and last but it’s nearly indestructible.
A bottle opener is built into the top of the neck housing so you’ll never search for an opener when using the Bottle Thermos. It comes in black, silver, and hot pink. The Bottle Thermos is adaptable, smart, and more than welcome at a barbecue, on a fishing trip, or relaxing in the backyard.

This six-pack (ha!) of Beer Soap from Swag Brewery features scents derived from actual beer that are spicy, earthy, fruity, sweet, and fresh depending on the variety of soap. It smells incredibly good after you’ve bathed with it. This beer soap lathers well, cleans better than most any other soap that you’ve used before, and it won’t dry you out.
Beer Soap is a perfect gift for just about anyone who has ever enjoyed a frosty pint. But it’s also great for people who simply enjoy nice smelling artisan soaps. Each bar is 4oz and measures 3 inches round by 1 inches thick (think hockey puck).
This soap is made with all-natural, quality ingredients like orange peel, crushed oats, and real hops. Since beer is rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids, it’s also excellent for your skin.
-

The separator removes easily to provide one large compartment if you wish. The Titan comes in three colors and four different sizes from nine cans to 48(!).

If you have ever wondered what goes into creating a brewery, then Brewery Operations Manual is the book for you. Tom Hennessy is the infamous creator of the “Frankenbrew” DVD in the 90s where he showcased his own brewery equipment that cost pennies on the dollar compared to commercial units. The man knows what he’s talking about; more importantly, he knows beer.
This Brewery Operations Manual is a complete “to do” list that will guide you through the maze of events necessary to open your own brewery without spending the family fortune. This is real nuts and bolts stuff. There are three major parts of the book that cover budget, location, equipment, and how to run a business. This book is completely entertaining and thoroughly knowledgable but be warned: you may want to jump right in and create a brewery after you read it.

I typically keep a pint glass in the freezer at all times so I can ensure frosty excellence whenever the mood to enjoy a beer strikes. I may change my habits now that I know about the ChillGlass from That! Inventions. The vessel is a double-walled tumbler filled with a re-freezable chilling fluid so your drink can be kept cold without watering it down with melting ice.
Each glass features a stylish cork sleeve so that only your drink is chilled, not your hand. The cork sleeve naturally absorbs moisture, is soft to the touch, and won’t scratch surfaces. To use, freeze the glass upside down in your freezer for three to five hours; your time may vary but a longer freezing time will result in a better experience. When ready, simply fill the ChillGlass with your preferred beverage and enjoy. This particular ChillGlass is 15.5oz but a 4.5oz size is also available.

There are other beer making kits on our list of best gifts for beer lovers but the BeerDroid Fully Automated Beer Brewing System is different. It is a fully automated personal brew system that allows you to craft 2.6 gallons of premium quality beer with the push of a button.

If you make beer at home, you already know how good it tastes from the keg. But if you’re still using a picnic tap to dispense your creations, you need to step up your game with the BrewFlo Beer Dispensing System. The BrewFlo is a temperature-controlled beer dispenser designed to work with five-liter kegs produced by BrewArt. This system allows you to pour your lagers at icy cold temperatures or your stouts or Belgian beers slightly warmer.
The kegging pack makes the kegging process simpler. When you keg your beer, you’ll rack into keg liners that fit inside the included five-liter kegs. The liners are pre-sanitized and disposable reducing the need for extra cleaning before and after kegging your beer. This system uses counter-pressure, not carbon dioxide (CO2), to dispense your beer, making this system safe and simple. The kegging pack includes enough liners and beer lines for 2 batches of beer.

When you have a lot of stuff (you know, like beverages) to keep cold and don’t want to lug a huge, hard, bulky cooler around, allow me to present the IceMule Pro Cooler.

So before I wrote up this list of best gifts for beer lovers, I thought I knew a thing or two about all things craft beer. But when I found this Campfire Beer Caramelizer Poking Tool, it blew my mind. This tool uses heat from a campfire to react with the sugars in your beer to make the taste richer and smoother. Heat the poker tip for about 15 to 20 minutes until it is visibly red and then dip it in your drink for 2 to 3 seconds.
The kit comes with an easy to clean and interchangeable tap handle along with a stainless steel food grade rod. It also comes with an extra rod, glove, storage bag, poker tip, and roaster tip. This campfire tool works with craft beer, adult beverages, hot chocolate, and ciders. It sounds awesome but just watch using this with cold glass, aluminum cans, or after experiencing too much evening.

Sierra Nevada makes some really fine craft beer and since craft beer goes so well with things like brats and pretzels, it just makes sense that they might produce something like this delicious gift set of three mustards made with their beer.

This gift set isn’t too ritzy for your beer lover but, man, is it great stuff. Highly recommended.

The BottleKeeper Stubby 2.0 is a smaller version of the original BottleKeeper bottle insulator made famous on the television show, Shark Tank.

Everyone should make their own beer at least once in their life and the folks at Craft-A-Brew makes it incredibly easy with their Make Your Own Beer Kits. I’m partial to the American Pale Ale (It makes a crisp, hoppy, and bitter pale ale with a light malt flavor. Yum.) but they have multiple flavors including a cider version. The beer making kit comes with everything you need to make some quality brew: a one-gallon carboy, funnel, racking cane, rubber stopper, transfer tubing and thumb clamp, airlock, thermometer, guidebook, sanitizer, and ingredients for whichever flavor strikes your fancy.
Recipe kits include everything required for a fresh batch including sanitizer, dry malt extract, hops, grains, yeast, and a grain steeping bag. The equipment is reusable meaning you can enjoy other Craft a Brew fresh-packed ingredients with the same beer brewing starter kit. The one-gallon size is good for a starter kit until you’ve got your legs under you. Note that the kit doesn’t come with bottles so you may want to pick some up when you order this kit. Trust me when I say that there are far worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon than brewing your own beer!

Beer served out of dirty lines doesn’t just make it taste bad, it’s simply gross. Tend to your home keg system with the Kegco Deluxe Pressurized Keg Beer Cleaning Kit. Your home draft system requires periodic cleaning to clean out the leftover yeast, protein, and mineral deposits that definitively affect the taste and smell of your beer.
You need more convincing? Okay: mold (!) will also find its way into your system fittings via exposure to air. If left untended, you’ll eventually have calcium oxalate, commonly referred to as beer stone, leave scale all over your lines and fittings. You must completely remove this stuff or microorganisms will grow to affect the flavor and shelf life of your beer, and not for the better.
This kit provides a great way to maintain those lines and keep your beer tasting fresh. It comes with a hand pump, connections, 32 ounces of beer line cleaner, and a faucet brush to scrub off all those particles for a deep clean.

I typically don’t recommend coasters as a gift but when I saw this set of eight beer quote coasters from Ladybug Press, I made an exception. The mixed set includes sayings from Ben Franklin, Oscar Wilde, and Plato along with diagrams of what goes into making beer and even a great Scrabble play.

If you’re a beer lover you owe it to yourself to visit Portland, Oregon, at least once in your life. It didn’t always have a crazy cool craft brew scene, though. The Widmer Way, written by Jeff Alworth, chronicles Kurt and Rob Widmer’s journey from humble homebrewers to craft beer pioneers and purveyors of their iconic Hefeweizen. Alworth dives deep into Portland’s history, a history that sets the scene for Widmer’s rise in the city now known for its exquisite beer.
Jeff Alworth conducted dozens of interviews with Kurt and Rob Widmer, close family and friends, and top names in the beer industry to write The Widmer Way. It offers an exclusive look into the Widmer brothers’ lives and their enormous impact on craft brewing in Portland and beyond. Alworth explores the Widmer family’s beer history, the brothers’ German influence, the brewery’s distribution deal with Anheuser-Busch, and the formation of the Craft Brew Alliance, one of the largest craft brewing companies in the United States.
Kurt and Rob Widmer have a deep affection for the city that fostered their success, providing sports team sponsorships, support for up-and-coming brewers, and hundreds of jobs for their community. The Widmer Way emphasizes the special relationship between up-and-coming brewers, the city, and its people with a story that will resonate with beer aficionados. This book tells the story of how Portland became “Beervana.”
