It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year! No matter who you’re shopping for this season, we’ve curated the best gifts for everyone on your list. Here, we’ve rounded up the best gifts for beer lovers.
Our picks were selected based on high user reviews and a consideration of uses, like if they enjoy a brew with nature or are always looking for the next best invention to deck out their at-home bar. (Speaking of, you’ll want to check out these boozy Advent calendars and wine Advent calendars to get yourself—and your loved ones—through the holiday rush.)
These gifts for beer lovers are perfect on their own, or paired with a six-pack or two. Cheers!
Beer Cap Map
If your giftee loves to travel, get them this beer cap map. A standard map has 80 slots to fill with caps from breweries near and far. Personalize it with a name, phrase or date engraved into the wood. Talk about one of the best gifts for beer lovers!
Beer Can Insulator
No matter how much your friend loves beer, a warm beverage is just not enjoyable. Luckily, this hopsulator trio solves that problem. The can cooler keeps their favorite brew chilled for hours. We love that it’s compatible with 12 and 16 ounce cans (yes, even the slim type). It also comes with a leakproof lid in case they prefer to pour their drink into the tumbler.
Around the World Beer Bucket
For the person who dreams of yelling prost! at Oktoberfest or clinking salute! in the Italian countryside, gift them the next best thing to an all-expenses-paid trip. The Around the World Beer Bucket from Gourmet Gift Baskets features 12 beers from, you guessed it, around the globe. They’ll also enjoy a bevy of their favorite bar snacks, including sausage, cheese, nuts, crackers and popcorn. Bonus: This gift comes in a metal vessel that doubles as an ice bucket.

These popular conversation pints are one of the best gifts for beer lovers or anyone who enjoys hosting get-togethers. The glasses pair talking points (think “the best job” or “the quirkiest date”). It’s perfect for just two people or a group. The talking points are endless with these silly glasses! If you see a pint glass with a bulge, here’s what it’s for.

Beer pong is always a good idea, as is this mini beer pong set. The approximately two-foot-long board is equipped with 10 tiny cups on each side for players to catapult a mini ball into. It’ll challenge even the most decorated beer pong champions!

Beer Foaming Stones
Has your beer lover ever opened a beer to find it’s less carbonated than it should be? These beer foaming stones are just the ticket! Handmade in Minnesota, these soapstone nucleators react with the beer in your glass to create tiny bubbles that make the beer creamier, richer and taste like it’s fresh from the tap. These make a great groomsmen gift!

Personalized Beer Tasting Flight
One of the best parts of visiting a craft brewery is ordering a flight to sample a range of unique brews. Let your loved one re-create that experience with their own beer flight. The gift comes with a wooden board affixed with a chalkboard for labeling the brews. Personalize it with your giftee’s name for an extra special touch. It’s a great personalized wedding gift, too.
Beer Glasses
Depending on your giftee’s favorite brew—whether it’s an IPA, a light beer or an amber lager—there’s a glass specifically made to enhance that beer’s natural flavors. If you’re not sure which beer your giftee loves most, get a variety pack of beer glasses that features a glass for each kind of brew.
Outdoor Cooler
Forget those conventional rectangular coolers—gift the beer lover in your life something far more exciting, like an outdoor cooler that doubles as a patio table. It’s large enough to fit up to 40 beer cans. It doubles as a gift for wine lovers, as well.
Beer Soap
We love when beer shows up in unexpected places, like cheddar bacon dip and yes, even soap. You didn’t misread that—Amazon sells a 6-pack of beer soap, which is truly a gift that only a beer lover would appreciate. They feature scents like Apricot Wheat, Honey Pilsner and Vanilla Porter.
Shower Beer Holder
Nothing beats a cold shower beer. If the beer lover in your life is known for cracking a cold one while getting ready, they need a dedicated shower beer holder that sticks to the shower wall. The shape of the caddy allows it to hold beer and hard seltzers with ease.
Goodnight Brew
This hilarious parody book deserves a prominent space on their bookshelf or coffee table. One of the best gifts for beer lovers, Goodnight Brew mimics the popular children’s book Goodnight Moon.
