With so many awesome local breweries popping up in the Lake Norman area, it’s easy to celebrate the beer lovers in your life this holiday season. Not only can you feel good about shopping small and supporting a neighborhood business, but also feel confident that you’re gifting something they’ll actually love. Here are a few suggestions to help you skip long lines, and avoid supply chain worries, and purchasing unwanted gifts that will wind up at the bottom of their closet. 1. Greatest Gift Pack for the Beer Lover in Your Life – $50 Grab this gift pack in the Lost World’s Brewing taproom. It’s carefully curated for any craft beer and adventure lover. It includes a Lost World’s hat (either baseball or trucker), a Lost World’s t-shirt of your choosing, a Collector’s beer glass, tickets to Lost World’s Beer School for two (taking place on the 3rd Saturday of each month), and stickers to decorate a laptop, water bottle, etc. Add in a gift card to really make this gift toast-worthy. 2. Flight Board and Glasses - $35 Available at Royal Bliss Brewery, this flight board is handmade from reclaimed wood and branded by Larry Griffin himself. It comes with four taster glasses designed with a simple logo imprint. This simple and unique gift is sure to impress. 3. Logo Trucker Hat - $25 A new hat is something anyone can always use in their wardrobe rotation. Ass Clown Brewing has a handful of awesome trucker hat designs. Throw in a leather koozie or some sandstone coasters if you’re looking to shop at a higher price point. 4. Unisex Zip Fleece Hoodie - $48 Cozy apparel branded with a local brewery makes for a perfect holiday gift option as temps cool down. The current design for sale on King Canary Brewing Company’s website is a beautiful heather slate color available in sizes small through extra large. They also have a ton of tees, tanks, and even a bandana for furry friends. 5. Brewery Gift Card – $10 - $100 Royal Bliss Brewery said it best: “beer tastes better when someone else pays for it.” There’s no question about that. Grab a gift card for any beer lover in your life so they can pick up some beer or enjoy a night of good music and good company for a night out at any of the local breweries. This round’s on you!
