The Hop Head: Christmas Gifts for Beer Lovers

Beer Gifts Straight From the Source

Novelty bottle openers and beer of the month clubs are fine, but nothing beats tasting a fresh pour at the brewery itself. Our beer tours take guests behind the scenes to see how craft beer is brewed, with tastings of seasonal and flagship styles along the way. They are fun gifts for craft beer lovers who enjoy learning what makes a good IPA, stout or sour.

Tours, Tastings and Pub Crawls

Some experiences focus on one brewery, while others hop between several on foot or by bus. Food lovers might enjoy food tours that pair local dishes with craft beer, and history fans often like ghost tours that end at a historic pub. For something hands-on, a few cities offer beer and food pairing classes. New breweries and tours are added regularly, so there is often a new tap to try.

A Gift Worth Raising a Glass To

Beer experiences are a popular choice in our Christmas experience gifts, and they make a great pick for Father's Day or a birthday. Send an instant e-voucher by email or order a printed gift box to wrap.

Do guests need to be 21 for brewery tours?

Tastings require every guest to be 21 or older, with a valid photo ID checked on arrival.

Are brewery tours open in winter?

Most breweries run tours all year, though walking tours and pub crawls may have fewer dates in colder months. Weekend slots fill quickly around the holidays.
