Top 5 Beer Gifts
1) Beer Making Kit
Brooklyn Brew Shop: Beer Making Kit - New England IPA
2) Aluminum Beverage Can Top Opener
This can opener is unlike any other because it fully removes the top, creating an incredibly smooth edge that safely turns your can into a cup. By removing the top, you are able to enjoy the aroma of the beverage without the smell of the aluminum. This also makes the can perfect for adding garnishes or mixing drinks. Made in the USA.
3) Hand Cut Monogram Pint Glass - Set of 2
The classic Monogram on these personalized pint glasses is timeless. Susquehanna Glass Company has been hand etching glass in the USA for over 100 years, and they will etch your chosen letters with the attention to detail they’re known for. Each letter is painstakingly hand cut by holding the glass against a rotating stone wheel. The result is a crisp finish that will last for years.
4) Canteen Vinnebago Edition - Matte Black
Independent barware company Corkcicle creates innovative ways to chill, store, and serve your favorite drinks. Vinnebago is a stainless steel, vacuum sealed, triple-walled beverage bottle that keeps what’s inside hot (up to 12 hours) or cold (up to 25 hours). This container won’t shatter so it’s safer than glass and perfect for venues where glass isn’t allowed.
5) Cool ID Tumbler - Set of 2
Say cheers to ceramic tumblers that keep beverages perfectly chilled. Submerge the tumblers in cool water to activate their natural cooling properties. This ceramic absorbs the water quickly, leaving the surface dry, so there’s no condensation, inside or out. Your drinks stay cool for hours. The matte surface is sophisticated and also acts as a chalkboard if you want to write on it.
