Buying some quality beers for a non-quality beer drinker is like saying, “Here’s a gift that you probably won’t appreciate, but this is where I’M at…. and so should you.”

If you’re trying to buy for the middle of the road beer drinker….. any craft brewing 6-pack that new to them will do.

Is there another group of people I’m missing? Non-quality beer drinkers, Middle of the Road and Quality beer drinker. I guess you could be a WANNA BE quality drinker then refer to a QUALITY Beer gift.

Choices respectively: Moronic Budmilloors beer hat – 6-pack of Holiday ale – Upper end rare beer.

Don’t know where to find a quality or rare beer??? if your a quality beer drinker, you should already know! ;-}

Wanna be original? Cook something with beer and send that as a gift.

Busch drinkers! What’s the point? A nice 40 ozer of Old English 800 would be a Winter Warmer for them….. Leave the paper bag on as wrapping paper. :-O

I wasn’t even going to touch books since my idea of a good beer book is lists of figures from the 1800′s and early 1900′s. This was beer only.

Not everyone truly can appreciate a truly rare or hard to find gift, and not everyone knows how to find them. This was more of a picking the right gift for the level the persons at post.

The fact the Foyston even read “beer for dummies” is kind of scary for a guy who is writing about beer.

Beer as gifts? Only the rare and unique should be considered as gifts, unless you’re dealing with some beer bozo who’s impressed by those 10 packs of “beers of the world,” which are usually filled with commonly found international lagers or ales. In that case, I wouldn’t waste my time giving them a beer gift. A moronic beer hat that holds two cans and straw would fit the bill. ;-}

Gift beers:

Rare HOTD beers
Roots Epic
Upright Beers
Stuff like that….

Abyss is widely availble as are others.

I did send a friend in CA two Uprights beers. He really appeciated them and send me two Russian River Belgians in return. I think I got the better deal. ;-}

O sent another guy a 6 six of local Holiday beers that are hard to find in other places. I received an Anchor “Our Special Barrel Ale’” in return. Once again, I think I got the better deal!

Same can be said to the guy who send me 4 Lost Abbey beers…. :-O

Cheers All!
