The Best Gifts For Beer Drinkin' Dads!
While a six-pack of his favorite brew will be well received, there are other options that take your beer-inspired gift to the next level, making your dad feel REALLY special.
From craft brews to at-home brewing kits and all the other beer memorabilia in between, there's no excuse for an average gift. Here’s a list of fantastic brew-inspired options that are perfect for your father.
Cufflinks. Featuring bottle caps.
If your dad is a businessman by day and beer connoisseur by night, a beautifully crafted set of cufflinks are the perfect way to bring together his two identities. You’ll get extra brownie points if you can find a set immortalizing his favorite brew.
Bottle openers. Personalized and one-of-a-kind.
Most avid beer drinkers have a bar or drinking area set up that is their pride and joy, perhaps even a mancave. A personalized bottle opener will add some character to the space while paying homage to dad – which is cool. We've also seen openers made using old vinyl's, ski's, and even baseball bats and hockey pucks, so you can tailor your gift to his favorite hobbies too.
Bar décor. The vintage kind.
Neon signs and beer posters from the good old days will inspire nostalgia and add a cool element to any home’s manly drinking area. You can also look into bottle collections, old bar fridges, and repurposed kegs and taps – to name but a few. We would recommend speaking to mom before investing in home décor, though!
Beer mugs. Stay classy.
Collectible and novelty beer mugs are widely available and can even be custom-made if you're into that sort of thing. From boot-shaped glasses to those featuring custom prints, you're spoilt for choice, and dad will be too.
Homebrew kit. It's cooler to do it yourself.
Depending on dad’s preference, there’s a wide range of beer making kits available. The instructions are straight-forward and, in most cases, will result in a tasty homemade brew – giving dad the ultimate bragging rights.
Frozen glasses. Keep it chilled.
Okay, it’s not so much a frozen glass, it’s more like frozen cupholders. Either way, say goodbye to warm beers. These icy gems will keep dad’s drink cold and refreshing for as long as it needs to be. He’ll never drink a warm beer again!
Beer flavored everything. I mean, why not?
From coffee to tea and delicious snacks, the beer infusion movement is taking over. You'll be surprised by some of the concoctions available, and even more amazed that they taste pretty good too. We would recommend some beer-infused nuts as a great addition to any bar area – or even just as a tasty snack.
Wardrobe upgrade. It’s never been easier to accessorize.
We've seen it all. Novelty socks and undies, limited edition t-shirts, and even a whole lot of bling. Bling aside, some of these options are impressive and sure to crack a smile on dad's face. On a similar but unrelated note, beer soap could also be a funny gift to add to your options.
Drinking games. Are you even surprised?
Yes, everyone has heard of good old faithful beer pong, but what about Beer-opoly, Kings, and even Beer-ades? The options are endless, and the possibility of dad fails guaranteed, so why not invest in the gift that keeps on giving?
Beer scented candles. For the odd power cut, of course.
Occasionally, the need for a candle arises – whether during a power cut or if a romantic mood for mom is required. A manly scented beer candle is the perfect thing to get the job done, don’t you think?
Brewery tours. Take a behind the scenes look at the brewing process.
Making your own beer isn’t for everyone, but a beer tasting that includes a tour of the brewery is always a crowd pleaser – and you can always surprise your father by getting him a pack of his favorite drink from his day out.
A shadow box. For the real enthusiast.
A shadow box is, well, a box that your Dad can fill with bottle caps. It's an awesome way to show off his sophisticated palette and is the perfect addition to any mancave.
Beer and BBQ. The ultimate duo.
There's nothing better than firing up the grill, popping open a cold one, and spending the day outside with friends and family. A wide range of beer-infused spices and sauces can spice up the occasion and further indulge the beer-lovers obsession.
Beer hampers. Variety is the spice of life after all.
If you were going to buy your dad a six-pack, this is a great way to upgrade your gift. Beer hampers can be made according to your specification, or you could purchase something special prepacked if you're a bit clueless when it comes to these things. A bonus? A lot of these hampers include tasty snacks too.
Hold my beer. Sometimes it’s difficult to multitask.
From beer holsters to suction cup beer holders for your shower, there’s seriously a ton of weird and wonderful options when it comes to finding the perfect place to put dad’s beer. Another option to consider is a personalized gift like a beer bucket to keep his brew cool while he does his thing. Not to mention a wide range of coolers that will get the job done just as well.
It’s never been easier to find the ultimate beer lover's gift
Your Dad is the real MVP. He's helped you out of difficult situations, cracked some cringe-worthy jokes, and above all, been a pillar of support. It's time for you to start supporting him, starting with his favorite hobby – obsessing about all thing’s beer!
Jokes aside, there are tons of options when it comes to buying your dad the best brew-inspired gift ever. We hope that this guide narrows it down for you.
