Budweiser, Guinness, Heineken, Coors, etc, etc, and etc beer is everywhere and loved by many. Beer has become somewhat of a pastime and an obsession to some people. Here are the top ten items to invest in this holiday season for the beer snob in your life.
1. A Beer Gift Basket is an awesome idea! You can purchase them online or, you can make them yourself. If you know the type of beer that they like, simply purchase five or six of them, preferably each a different type, add a variety of bagged popcorn and peanuts such as shelled peanuts, corn nuts, pistachios, or butter toffee peanuts and add them to a large basket. It’s up to you, but I would first fill the basket with a type of grass or stuffing to make it presentable. If you decide that you would rather purchase the basket already made, I’d suggest checking into Simply Classic Gift Baskets. They have a variety of great baskets from $40 to $100.
2. Surprising that special beer drinking someone with a personalized beer glass is a great way to express a unique gift. The Pub Glass Store has a variety of beer glasses, cocktail glasses, and even towels and bar accessories that you can choose from. The personalized beer glasses can be personalized for any occasion and only run about $15.
3. If he or she is a real die hard true beer fan, they may want to try their hand at creating their own brew.

The Beer Machine includes all beer making supplies and brews, ferments, carbonates, and dispenses-all in one machine that fits right in your refrigerator. The easy to use machine produces premium, natural beer in 7-10 days using your beer making supplies. It’s a little pricey, $110, but think of the brew you could make!
