Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys beer tasting, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that can enhance his beer-tasting experiences. Here are some suggestions to consider:

1. Craft Beer Subscription: Treat your son to a craft beer subscription service. This way, he can enjoy a variety of unique and flavorsome beers delivered to his doorstep on a monthly basis. Look for subscription services that offer a wide range of beers from different breweries, styles, and regions to provide him with a well-rounded tasting experience.

2. Beer Tasting Set or Flight: Consider gifting your son a beer tasting set or flight. These sets typically include a selection of different beer styles in smaller sizes, allowing him to taste and compare various brews side by side. It's a fun way for him to explore different flavors, aromas, and brewing techniques.

3. Home Brewing Kit: If your son has a keen interest in beer tasting, he might enjoy trying his hand at brewing his own beer. A home brewing kit can be an exciting and educational gift. Look for kits that provide all the necessary equipment, ingredients, and instructions for him to create his very own batch of craft beer.

4. Beer Books and Guides: Help your son expand his knowledge about beer tasting and brewing with informative and engaging books. Look for titles that cover topics like beer styles, history, brewing techniques, and food pairings. Books like "Tasting Beer" by Randy Mosher or "The Beer Bible" by Jeff Alworth are excellent resources to enhance his beer-tasting journey.

5. Beer Accessories: Enhance your son's beer tasting experience with some high-quality accessories. Consider gifting him a personalized beer glass or a set of beer-themed coasters. Additionally, beer-specific glassware like tulip glasses, pint glasses, or Belgian beer glasses can enhance the aroma and flavors of different beer styles.

6. Brewery Tour or Beer Festival Tickets: Treat your son to a memorable experience by gifting him tickets to a brewery tour or beer festival. This will give him the opportunity to visit different breweries, learn about the brewing process, and taste a wide range of beers. It's a great way for him to engage with other beer enthusiasts and deepen his appreciation for the craft.

7. Beer Tasting Notebook: Provide your son with a beer tasting notebook or journal to record his tastings, thoughts, and ratings. This will allow him to keep track of beers he has tried, remember his favorites, and note any brewing techniques or flavors that he finds interesting. It can serve as a personal reference and a great way to track his beer-tasting journey over time.

Remember, the most meaningful and personal gifts are those that reflect your son's interests and passions. By considering his love for beer tasting, you can choose a gift that not only brings him joy but also encourages his exploration and enjoyment of this exciting hobby.

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

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“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.”
