9 Crucial Gifts For The Hard-To-Please Beer Snob
By Lance Pauker
1. Mr. Beer Premium Gold Edition Beer Kit
If your beer snob friend keeps talking about how he’s gonna start brewing himself, make the dream happen. Says one Amazon commenter, “I give this item five stars, not because it is the best homebrewing kit out there, but because it is probably the most economical choice for a person looking for an introduction to homebrewing.”
Price: $45.99
2. The Great American Ale Trail
Author Christian DeBenedetti traveled all across the country in order to discover America’s greatest beer spots, an experience encapsulated beautifully in this acclaimed and useful book. A great resource for the beer snob visiting a new city.

3. Corkcicle Chillsner Beer Chiller
One of my friends always tells me, “beer is meant to be cold, always.” I’m very much thinking about buying him this beer chilling device (that keeps your beer cool from start to finish) just so that he’ll never have a reason to complain about my subpar beer cooling practices again.
