When a wine lover crafts his or her knowledge to become an expert in the subtleties of different wines, he or she is seen as connoisseur - why can’t the same hold true for beer lovers? In countries around the world beer has a rich history - including America. In fact, many of our founding fathers (including George Washington himself) were avid beer drinkers. It’s high time to celebrate beer drinkers, and here is a six pack of great gifts for the beer lover in your life.

I’m with the band

The holidays are notorious for great parties with family, friends, and colleagues. This year, you can help the beer lover in your life avoid the whole “is that beer mine or yours” game with Mine Beer Bands. These stretchy rubber bands fit snuggly around beer bottles to prevent mix-ups. You can purchase 12 Mine Beer Bands in assorted colors for just $5.95 from homewetbar.com.

 

The opening act

Start a beer off the right way by cracking it open in style! Every beer lover needs at least one really fun bottle opener, so this year, do a little shopping and find one that truly fits your beer lover. One great idea to get an interesting bottle opener, is to think ahead and buy one while your on vacation. The bottle opener pictured below came from Las Vegas and only cost $5.95.

I’m sticking with you

While there may be no use in crying over spilt beer as the saying goes (or, well, doesn’t go), this year you can get the beer lover in your life the perfect gift to help prevent future beer spilling tragedies: a magnetic can cooler. The powerful magnet on the bottom will keep beer upright whether your beer lover is tailgating or mowing the lawn. The really great thing about this gift is it not only helps keep beer from spilling, but it also helps prevent another horrible tragedy: warm beer. Magnetic can coolers are available from a variety of companies - check this one out from Geko for $9.99.

That’s worth saving

Any beer lover knows that no sooner do you crack open a bottle of beer and kick back then something comes up. Its like a cosmic joke. By the time you get back to relaxing you’re beers not tasting so fresh anymore. Well, luckily, there’s a solution for that: Beer Savers. Beer Savers are stretchy beer caps designed to keep beer fresh and fizzy for up to 24 hours. Get a multi-colored six back of Beer Savers from Savebrands for $6.99.
