Colorado Brew Talk Video Episode 5: Gift Suggestions for Beer Lovers

December 19, 2019 Mike

In this episode Mike and Jesse try to help you find the right last minute Holiday or Christmas gift for the beer lover in your life. We group many of the local breweries into categories that are sure to fit most beer lovers.

If you’re a beer lover and you want to drop a hint, feel free to share this video.

Some options for gifts are:

Gift card or certificate – Many local breweries offer gift cards and gift certificates – Call or message them on Facebook to to find out
Bomber / Crowler / growler – Who wouldn’t be happy with some delicious craft beer?
Merchandise (hats T-Shirt etc) – Let them wear a local brewery logo item and be like all the cool kids.

If you buy a six pack, be sure to purchase direct from brewery or from a local liquor store.
