Keep On Giving – Beer of the Month Club
This unique gift idea doesn’t stop after one opening. If your dad really digs beer and is thirsty to try new brews on a regular basis than this is the perfect gift for him. The Original Craft Beer Club discovers exceptional craft brews from around the country and delivers them each month direct to your gift recipient (Pops in this case). Every selection is produced by small-production, independent brewers who use traditional brewing ingredients and time-honored methods so you know the beers are top notch. The cost is $37.75 per month which includes shipping and, if you sign up now, three free gifts. Dad will thank you and think of you every month when he sips on a refreshing, tasteful beer that he might not have otherwise discovered!
Your Own is Always Better – Artisan Homebrew
So dad loves beer but has he ever tried making it? If he’s the traditional type, he probably values homemade items, fixing things himself and enjoying the fruits of his labor. If that’s the case, it’s a no brainer. This is the gift for him and it’s right around the corner in Downingtown! Artisan Homebrew offers a large assortment of beer making kits (and wine) along with individual equipment, supplies and ingredients.Their exceptionally educated staff is always kind to assist with the most experienced brewer or someone looking to get started. A hands on gift like a homebrewers kit also provides future opportunities to bond with dad over beer making trials. He’ll never forget the first time he enjoys a homemade brew, thanks to you!
Homebrewers & Beer Lovers Unite – Chester County Homebrew Fest
Maybe you just decided to get dad a homebrew kit thanks to our previous suggestion. Maybe he loves beer so much, he’s been brewing his own for a while. Either way, beer makers and beer lovers are all invited to the Chester County Homebrew Fest. While the focus of the event is to celebrate the craft of beer making as it’s done in our own homes, there will definitely be plenty of great beer for tasting all around! The event is unfolding on June 23 from 6 to 10 pm at Elks Lodge in West Chester. Tickets will be available at the door for $45 or in online for $35. Included in the price is a catered, buffet style dinner, live musical entertainment, a chance to cast your vote for the best homebrew, and a custom printed event pint glass.
It’s Not Just a Beer World – Brandywine Valley Wine Trail Passport
