Beer Gift Ideas for Father’s Day

Need a last minute gift for dad? How about something beer related? Sure, you can buy him a six-pack at the store but if you want to get more creative, here are some ideas…

Gift baskets like the “Drinky Stinky Cigars & Brews” or the “Golf & Beer Gift Basket” or the perfectly named “Arrogant Bastard Beer Gift”
A membership in the Beer of the Month Club. You can customize this from 2-12 months. 12 microbrews arrive each month. This is the gift that keeps on giving.
If your dad is the DIY type, how about an entry-level homebrewing kit?
If dad’s a “foodie” then he may enjoy Garrett Oliver’s The Brewmaster’s Table : Discovering the Pleasures of Real Beer with Real Food
If dad’s a history buff, I recommend Maureen Ogle’s Ambitious Brew: The Story of American Beer
If dad is into lists, 300 Beers to Try Before You Die! by Roger Protz
For the craft beer fanatic, how about a subscription to BeerAdvocate Magazine?
Even macho men may appreciate Dogfish Head Shampoo Bar or Dogfish Head Lip Balm Festina Peche
While I have no affiliation with any of the above, I can’t help but recommend the newly released Beer Wars DVD.

And feel free to suggest your own. Just add a comment.

Instead of Mr.Beer get a real homebrew kit, one that will make decent beer. Visit norhtern brewer online or your local homebrew shop.

I wholeheartedly agree with BOB. There are homebrew shops everywhere, and if there isn’t one in your town, most of them ship. The perpetuation of the Mr. Beer fiasco must end! Go to Northern Brew, Midwest Supplies, More Beer, or any other shop and they will have a real kit already put together for you.

I am very glad I found your blog on yahoo. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my friend were just preparing to do some research about this. I am glad to see such reliable information being shared freely out there.
Best wishes,

Oenophiles have SIDEWAYS and BOTTLE SHOCK; now their beer-loving counterparts can claim a film as their own.

A David and Goliath story pitting the country's smallest brewers against the largest.

Beer Wars: Brewed in America, is an eye-opening, funny and righteously infuriating documentary by first-time filmmaker Anat Baron. Her film (think of it as Suds: A Love Story) is also a pretty damning indictment of not just the beer industry but contemporary unfettered unregulated capitalism's disturbing excesses.

- Box Office Magazine

In Beer Wars, entrepreneurialism and opportunity go awry when tainted by greed and a thirst for power.

- Los Angeles Times

Beer Wars certainly raises some interesting questions, the most potent of which is, is this what capitalism is meant to be?

- New Times

For those who are keeping the American dream alive, this spirited documentary raises a toast.

- St Louis Post-Dispatch

A trenchant analysis unapologetic in its rebuke of Big Beer, Beer Wars is heartily recommended for patrons already inclined to opt for the local brew at every tap. It will also appeal to patrons interested in craft foods as well as homebrewed beer and wine and others particular about quality.
