• If you know someone who has a fondness for beer, a beer-related gift item is sure to be appreciated. Items range from the beer itself to accessories for brewing one's own beer. Educational materials can help the beer lover learn more about the types of beer and the brewing process. On-site beer classes offer the opportunity to learn from beer experts.
  
  

Gift Baskets

• Beer gift baskets often contain a sampling of different beers from one manufacturer or beers of the same type or a blend of microwbrews. Other basket ideas include a collection of snacks commonly enjoyed with beer, such as beer nuts or pretzels, or an array of related items, such as books or drinking glasses.
  
  

Beer of the Month Club

• For the beer drinker who enjoys sampling a variety of beers, membership in a Beer of the Month Club provides the recipient with the opportunity to sample different beers on a regular basis. A typical shipment is three bottles each of four different microwbrews that arrive via ground delivery each month for an entire year.
  
  

Home Brew Kits

• Some beer aficionados may want to try their hand at making their own brew. A home brew kit includes all the equipment and products necessary to start a basement brewery as well as complete instructions. In many cases, brewing your own beer can result in substantial savings over store-bought beer.
  
  

Kegerator

• A kegerator is a small refrigerator specially designed to hold a keg of beer. Kegerators have a tap at the top for easy dispensing. Some units have casters so the beer can be transported around the home and can be converted to a regular refrigerator when not holding a keg. They also make for a nice addition to a basement bar.
  
  

Beer School

• Beer lovers can further their education by receiving a gift certificate to attend beer school. In Philadelphia, for example, the Philly Beer School offers classes in the types of beer and the process of brewing beer. Courses in how to brew your own beer are also available.
