Beer people are not like wine people—and that’s OK. They’d rather crack open a cold pint than swirl a glass of cabernet. While a bottle of wine is an easy grab, finding the right present for a beer lover takes a little more creativity.
That’s why Reviewed pulled together a list of fun, practical, and downright clever Christmas gifts for every kind of beer drinker. From IPA enthusiasts and pilsner purists to stout sippers and craft beer explorers, these gifts are guaranteed to keep the good times brewing all season long.
1. Best pub tour for the armchair traveler
Think of it as an exploration of the world brew scene.
City Brew Tours delivers a global beer experience right to your doorstep. Choose from themed collections like Beers of the World, German Classics, Hoppy & Hazy, Dark & Roast, or Craft Ciders, available as 3-, 6-, or 12-month subscriptions. Each shipment includes six to 12 beers, depending on the style you choose. You can also pre-order the 12 Beers of Christmas and 8 Nights of Hanukkah advent calendars. Festive collections designed for seasonal sipping and celebration.
2. Best beer gift for the gourmand
For the beer-loving epicure.
Few things satisfy quite like a warm, chewy pretzel dipped in rich, creamy beer cheese. Reviewers love this Soft Pretzel & Beer Cheese Kit for its simple, foolproof instructions and delicious results—soft, golden pretzels and a smooth, flavorful dip that all taste straight out of a pub kitchen.
3. Best beer gift for aromatic ambiance
There's nothing like the smell of some fragrant and beer.
Beers like IPAs are renowned for their aromatic qualities. The Hoppy IPA Brew candle captures these aromas and puts them in a candle. Not only are these inspired candles pleasant-smelling, but they're also made from recycled beer bottles.
4. Best for a frosty beverage
Never worry about room-temp beer again.
Some beers are best served cold. Keep these insulated beer glasses in the freezer and they’ll be ready to go whenever they feel like relaxing with a cold beer—and pretend they’re at a fancy, upscale bar right at home.
5. The best beer gift for the chronic sampler
A tasting pairing gift.
Don't overthink it: nothing makes a better beer gift than the drink itself. This gift basket includes three craft beers. It also comes with a block of ultra-sharp cheddar cheese, summer sausage, and water crackers for pairing with each tasty brew.
6. Best beer gift for amateur brewmasters
Let 'em get their brew on!
Brewing beer at home is surprisingly easy if you've got the right know-how and kit. The Mr. Beer starter kit includes everything new brewers need to make their first batch, to wet their beaks before investing hundreds of dollars in professional equipment.
7. Best beer gift for beer sampling
For a custom tasting session at home.
Beer flights are always so much fun. If they love to taste and are even better at sharing, we love the idea of this gift for a couple. The couple that sips together stays together.
8. Best classy beer décor gift
A collector's map for the beer-drinking localvore.
If your resident beer lover also likes turning their passion into art, they’ll love this state map that holds a collection of all of their favorite beer caps. You can choose a map of the state that brews the beer they like best.
9. The coolest bottle opener
For a clean cap removal!
Think you've seen every beer bottle opener? Think again. The Pop-the-Top Bottle Opener is not only fun to use, but it also leaves the bottle cap intact. Simply press it into the top of a beer bottle, press down, and the opener will pop the cap off quickly and cleanly. Perfect for keeping a pristine cap to pop into their collection, and a perfect pairing with the aforementioned state map.
10. Best beer gift that keeps on giving
On the 12th day of beermas, my true love gave to me....
What's the best gift for people who drink beer? Beer, of course! A subscription to The Original Craft Beer Club treats them to 12 new beers from around the country every month, featuring three different beer styles, along with tasting notes and information about the breweries that make them. It's a great way for them to expand their craft beer horizons, one sip at a time.
11. Something for someone who is sober or sober-curious
A great non-alcoholic option for someone who's sober curious.
Whether they're participating in Sober October, Dry January, or just wanting to cut down on alcohol, this crisp and flavorful 8Zero5 Blonde Ale from Firestone Walker is a refreshing new option on the market.
12. Best gift for a beer history buff
For a comic book-style trip through the history of beer.
A brief history of 9,000 years of beer! This graphic novel will take them on a journey through time as they follow the evolution of their beverage of choice.
13. Best gift for the literate beer drinker
This 600-page book is part history book and part reference manual.
A frothy stout, a roaring fire, and a good book make the ultimate combo. And if that book is about beer, all the better. At over 600 pages, this is the beer bible, equal parts history book and reference manual. The gorgeous leather binding makes it highly giftable and a beautiful tome to display.
14. Best beer gift for shower sipping
Why should a shower stop them from drinking beer?
Are they a big fan of suds? Not the bath kind—the beer kind! Well, now they can enjoy those suds with a side of… suds (yes, the other kind) with this shower stall beer koozie!
15. Best gift in support of local microbreweries
For bringing home your favorite beer from your favorite brewery.
Some of the best beers you can get right now are at your local microbrewery. The Stanley Classic Easy-Pour Growler is great for them to pack along to their favorite brewery, where they can fill it and enjoy it at home. It keeps beer, soda, and even kombucha ice-cold and carbonated for hours, if not days—especially if kept in a refrigerator. It's also great for tailgating, picnics, or party crashing.
16. Best gift for someone who likes beer a lot and ice cream more
It's almost too good to be true!
Scoops on Tap Craft Beer Infused Ice Cream sounds like something that shouldn't be real, but luckily, it is. This gift set includes four crackable cans of beer-infused flavors: Salted Caramel Blonde Ale, Cookies & Cream Chocolate Stout, Coffee Caramel Crunch Stout, and Lemon IPA. Each of these flavors is made with milk and cream from Holstein cows, making it an ultra-premium level ice cream.
17. Best sign for a beer cave
For when they want their passion in neon lights.
Neon lights are a mainstay of many bars, and this beer sign would make even the coziest caves feel like the kind of place where everybody knows your name. It's surprisingly affordable and runs on batteries, or it can be powered via any outlet via USB. It adds a smack of charm to any room it's placed in, whether it's a study, bedroom, or even the garage.
18. Best on-the-go beer gift for campers
For cracking open a cold one on the go.
How does one pour a beer in the middle of the woods where there's not a single piece of glassware in sight? By using the Genuine Fred Port-O-Pin, of course. This small disk that fits in any pocket turns into a pint glass with a simple flick of the wrist. It's the perfect portable gift for all beer-related emergencies.
19. Affordable gift with a side of humor
For the silly one.
If you're strapped for cash but still want to get a fantastic gift, look no further than these funny novelty socks. Not only are they covered in a charming beer-themed pattern, but the soles of these socks display a funny message your giftee can flash to the world whenever they kick their feet up. And never forget: despite what comedians will have you believe, everyone actually loves receiving new socks.
20. A stylish, on-the-go cooler for your favorite brews
If Indiana Jones needed to cool beers, he’d use this.
Crafted from durable waxed cotton canvas, this soft-sided tote keeps up to six bottles or cans cool and organized with a removable divider. It even includes a built-in bottle opener on a retractable cord for easy access. Whether for tailgates, picnics, or backyard hangouts, it’s a stylish, gift-worthy way to bring your favorite brews anywhere.
