We’re well into the holiday season, so as is my usual practice, I will spend today’s and next week’s columns providing gift ideas for the beer lover among your friends and family.

Some of these ideas (or some iteration thereof) might have been mentioned in past columns, but most are new. Let’s get started.

First up are a few different gifts from , which had a decent number of decent gift suggestions. One I found very interesting was the Ultimate At-Home Beer Pint Maker. This kit ($58-$239) gives beer aficionados a way to simply brew 10 pints of beer fairly quickly and easily. The kit includes both the brewing gear and ingredients in fresh-press packs.

According to the ad, users simply need to combine the prepackaged ingredients in the brewer, let it ferment, refrigerate, and tap in a few days. Also included are two more packages of ingredients. Further packs for more brewing are available for purchase.

I can’t vouch for how good the beer will be, but I think it’s worth taking a shot.

also offers a stocking-stuffer type of gift that I, being a huge fan of dogs, just love: the Go Fetch Magnetic Bottle Opener. Made from beechwood and stainless steel, this unique bottle opener has a dog’s head for the prying apparatus, allowing this pooch to use his mighty jaws to open your next brew. The device goes for $15.

Next up is a tried-and-true gift that can’t fail to please your beloved beer fan: a subscription to . This provides your beer buddy with a 12-pack of four different types of microbrews once a month. You can choose to make your gift for two, three, four, six or 12 months. The cost runs between $52.95 and $55.95 per month.

Membership also includes a Beer Expeditions monthly newsletter subscription that provides all the information on that month’s selection of beers and breweries, from fun facts to tips and tricks.

Last but not least for this week’s suggestions is a very classy idea: Spiegelau Craft Beer Tasting Kit Glasses. Beer aficionados are renowned for their appreciation of using the right kind of glass for various beers. This gorgeous set of four glasses includes – depending on which set you order – some combination of a tall pilsner glass, a lager glass, an IPA glass, a Hefeweizen glass, a stemmed Belgian beer glass and a tulip-shaped glass.

A set of four costs between $38-$43.

If none of these grab you enough, stay tuned. Next week I’ll be providing more ideas across an even wider price range. Cheers!
