Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandson who is into home brewing, there are numerous thoughtful and engaging gift options that can enhance his brewing experience. Here are a few ideas:

1. Home Brewing Kit: Help your grandson take his brewing skills to the next level by gifting him a high-quality home brewing kit. Look for a comprehensive kit that includes all the necessary equipment, such as a fermenter, airlock, thermometer, hydrometer, and instruction manual.

2. Brewing Recipe Book: Expand your grandson's brewing repertoire with a brewing recipe book. There are plenty of recipe books available that cater to different brewing styles and tastes, offering a wide range of recipes for him to experiment with. Consider a book that includes recipes for his favorite beer styles from the 90s.

3. Brewing Ingredients: Give your grandson a supply of high-quality brewing ingredients, such as hops, malt extract, yeast, and specialty grains. You can either create a custom gift basket with a selection of ingredients or purchase a subscription to a monthly brewing ingredient delivery service, providing him with new ingredients to try every month.

4. Specialty Beer Glasses: Enhance your grandson's brewing experience with specialty beer glasses. Look for unique glassware specifically designed to enhance the aroma, color, and overall enjoyment of different beer styles. Consider glasses that feature designs or logos reminiscent of the 90s to add a personalized touch.

5. Brewing Classes or Workshops: Treat your grandson to a brewing class or workshop where he can learn new techniques and expand his knowledge. Look for local breweries or homebrewing clubs that offer hands-on learning experiences or consider virtual brewing classes that can be accessed from the comfort of his own home.

6. Personalized Brewing Accessories: Consider gifting your grandson personalized brewing accessories, such as engraved stainless steel growlers, custom bottle openers, or brewing aprons. These items will not only be functional but also add a touch of personalization and sentimentality to his brewing setup.

7. Beer Tasting Kit: Help your grandson refine his palate and broaden his beer tasting skills with a beer tasting kit. These kits often include a selection of different beer styles for him to sample, accompanied by tasting notes and flavor profiles. This can be a fun and educational experience, especially if he enjoys trying new beers.

8. Brewery Tour or Beer Festival Tickets: If your grandson enjoys exploring different breweries and trying new beers, consider gifting him tickets to a brewery tour or beer festival. This will provide him with the opportunity to learn about the brewing process firsthand and sample a wide variety of craft beers.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is to show your grandson that you support and appreciate his passion for home brewing. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests and showcases your thoughtfulness, you are sure to make his Christmas extra special.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
