Gifts: Stocking Stuffers!

Yesterday we brought you some ideas for some great books to get for your favorite beer geek.  Today we're moving to something a bit smaller, but possibly even more important... Stocking Stuffers! 

Whatever holiday you celebrate, you are probably in need of some small gifts for coworkers, distant relatives and and your favorite brew masters...ahem...ahem...  So we've collected a few ideas to inspire your shopping for stocking stuffers and knickknacks this holiday season.

Beer Soap! You want your beer loving friend to be clean, right? Why not get them some beer soap! One spot to find it is here: http://www.thebeersoapcompany.com/

Bottle stoppers! Beer geeks are always itching to crack open the newest 22oz or 750ml bottle that they got at the store, but they don't always have someone to share it with. These bottle stoppers fit in any bottle and can let someone spread their drinking over a couple of nights. http://amzn.to/twwsMw


Awesome bottle openers! Everyone has that old plastic bottle opener that they picked up free at a bar or from the floor at a college frat party, but the true beer geek needs a special, unique, bottle opener. We recently spotted these interesting ones, but there are tons more on the web, just start googling! http://bit.ly/vXZanS


ETSY!! If you haven't visited etsy before, head over there today. It's an entire community of handmade products for sale and if you simply type in the word "beer" in their search bar, you'll find hundreds of amazing products from towels to earings to coasters. www.etsy.com


A fridge magnet bottle opener! Everyone keeps their beer in the fridge, right? And how many times have you had to scour your kitchen for an opener? A few companies are making openers like this one that stick on your fridge and easily open bottles. Very handy tool!http://bit.ly/vXZanS

Gift Cards! Duh. But you often forget that you can get a gift card from major liqour store chains and even some smaller shops like The Bruery Provisions! Stop on by our store for a gift card in any denomination!


Beer notebook! Want to become a true beer connoisseur? You'll never get there if you don't keep track of tasting notes and details about beers that you've tried. Your true beer geek friends will love a cool notebook to scribble their drunken ramblings after their 10th taste of the night. http://etsy.me/thVmU9


Upcycled beer products! Wallets made from beer boxes, earrings made from bottlecaps, glasses made from bottles. Tons of pieces of beer culture are being used on a secondary market to create cool products. Search around and you're bound to find something cool like these wallets! http://etsy.me/sixUAc


BEER! What fits better in a stocking or puts a bigger smile on your friend's face than a bottle of high quality craft beer! Look for something new and interesting that they might not have yet, like The Bruery's Smoking Wood which is hitting shelves at The Bruery Provisions the week leading up to Christmas!

Gifts: Beer Books!

The holidays are upon us and we know how hard it can be to think of the perfect gift for your friends and family.  We'll be posting some ideas for beer lovers' gifts this week to help you get through the holiday season!


Today we're featuring some great books about beer and all the encompasses it.  We've got some of these books available at The Bruery Provisions and others are available through Amazon or other book stores. 


If you are looking for something a bit more special, this Thursday, 12/8, we'll have Joshua Bernstein, author of Brewed Awakening, in for a book signing!  Plus, we'll have a special 'Brewed Awakening' flight featuring some rare beers that people usually have to wait in line for!


For the novice beer geek! This brand new book is perfect for your friend who is trying to track down all the 'must have' beers. Loads of craft examples of different styles and hard to find treasures. 


For the novice beer chick (or dude). Written by "The Beer Chicks", The Naked Pint is a great book for the beer novice looking to learn the basics of beer styles and history be they a chick or a dude.



For the novice know-it-all. Tasting Beer is one of the unofficial textbooks for the Cicerone certification and is an easy read full of information from history to styles to how beer is made. One of the most comprehensive beer books out there without being too complex.


For the novice beer traveler. This new book is a great look at the different breweries across this great country of ours. A fantastic read for your friend who likes to visit breweries while cross the USA.


For the foodie! Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery penned this lengthy book that gives an extremely comprehensive look at how to pair beer with food and food with beer.

For the beginning home brewer! Cooked up by a craft beer couple who has spent years brewing out of their compact San Francisco apartment, this is a great start for someone who is just getting into homebrewing and needs some inpiration.


For the novice homebrewer! This book is one of the standards for learning to homebrew. Concepts on recipe formulation and everything involved in the process.


For the crazy homebrewer! Radical Brewing is just that. Does your friend need some inspiration to become the next head brewer for The Bruery? This book will lead them on the path to craziness.


For the homebrew (or professional brewing) expert. Is your friend an incredible homebrewer? They'd probably enjoy this guide on yeast :)


Another one for the homebrew expert. While some of the other books teach you the fundamentals of brewing a beer, this one gets down to the nitty gritty. We still sift through it on occasion ourselves.


And last but not least... for the expert brewer who loves sour and funky ales! Another guide on yeast, but this one focussing on the funky stuff. One of the hardest forms of brewing to perfect, this book at least gives a brewer a leg up on nature.


For the entrepreneur! Schmaltz brewing has been around for 13 years and Jeremy Cowan shares his stories of the beer world between the He'Brew and Coney Island brands which have both been influential on the retail shelf.


Another for the entrepreneur! Inspire your favorite homebrewer to go pro with this book by Sam C of Dogfish Head Brewery (whom we recently collaborated with on a beer!)

Christmas Gift Tips for Mother-in-law

Better than all the presents under the Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family, gathered to celebrate the graces of the past year and ask for blessings for the new journey that is about to begin. At that party, the "matriarchs" are ones that bring more life experience and more wisdom to guide their children, grandchildren and other relatives. We must recognize them in a special way with a gift worthy of the importance of the date and the role they play in the family. To please the mother is easy, but how to please a mother-in-law?

All though not all relationships between mother, son-in-law or daughter-inlay are friendly, but for the sake of the relationship you must do your part. Should not be difficult, since the myth of the mother-law being an enemy is increasingly shaken: It is common to find people who treat them almost like a second mother. And it also does not mean that the mother-in-law is the one figure of haired old lady, homely and full of culinary skills. The context brings modern ladies increasingly able to manage the family.

She has white hair, but nobody has ever seen. She has wrinkles, but it is difficult to understand. On the other hand, she makes sure everyone notice her clothes and accessories. If your mother-in-law is proud, it is hard to miss: look at the style and invest in items of fashion and beauty that she will value, you may even further please presenting with flowers and Beauty Products. Cosmetics, jewelry, costumes of charming elegant fashion, perfumes, gift in a beauty salon, anything goes to make it even more beautiful! You also have the option to mount an elegant gift basket for her, or buy a bouquet of roses.

If your mother-in-law is addicted to work, nothing better than giving a gift worthy of an executive right? Wrong. It's a good opportunity to show that you care about her health and well-being. How about a gift certificate at a Day Spa? Or better yet: A day to enjoy the children in a special place, just the two? If she is a workaholic, has surely missed having more time with the offspring. Make it happen and have a mother-in-law forever grateful!

Christmas Gifts for Boyfriend - Be Creative and Original!

Escape the ordinary place to buy a Christmas present for your boyfriend.

Giving gifts at Christmas is an ancient habit that now surpasses the Christian meaning that gave rise to this tradition. Amid the lack of time and confusion of the crowded malls, many forget the true meaning of date and purchases end up becoming a burden or an obligation.

Christmas is a time when we can put in the balance of everything that happened during the year, celebrate achievements and learn from mistakes. At that time people tend to become happier, more hopeful about the future and the most passionate couples. It is therefore important to capture all this positive vibration to pick this one showing the good times spent in the year just ending.

It is important to know that expensive gifts are not always guarantee of complete satisfaction and can often show coldness or lack of dedication at the time of choice. When buying a Christmas present for a boyfriend, for example, the intention is to delight and amaze, certainly that means something to show how much you know the tastes and the profile of a loved one will be much appreciated. And for this, just use your creativity and sensitivity, which can also be a way to circumvent the hours and hours spent in shops full of people.

Tips for Boyfriend Gifts:

The first tip before buying a Christmas present for your boyfriend is planning. Leaving nothing for the last week, because the chances are that the gift becomes a T-shirt, an expensive perfume or something else entirely without aura. Needless to say that knowing your loved one is critical. Paying attention to details, to the quirky preferences and also hints that the partner would usually give.

If you got into debt with dating or want to give an extra air of romance to the relationship, Christmas is the time to put an end to the past and renew your plans for the future. Here are some tips on how to escape the common place to buy a present for your boyfriend in accordance with his profile.
  • The passion for technology - if the money to buy an Ipad is too short, no good to come with a MP3. Choose books on the subject, computer games or even a GPS, which is not very expensive, just search.
  • A Man who loves football - he probably already has a team shirt. But a good tip is to look for relics of the 70s and 80s who are no longer in any store. The surprise in this case will be due to the rarity of this.
  • The moviegoer - If your sweetheart is passionate about cinema certainly know he will love you drew it and bought the complete trilogy of movie he likes best. Besides giving a gift, you can still ride a romantic dinner and Christmas together and watch Documentary DVDs can also be a good option.
  • The boyfriend who loves music - he has all the music he loves in the iPod playlist, then you can't give the CDs, this trend has come and gone. But end of year usually pop concerts in international capitals. A ticket for such an event is priceless. And this also entitles you to a companion. A Breakfast Gift Basket is equally fitting for more romantic men.
  • Who loves to travel - This profile is self-explanatory. Give a package trip to spend Christmas in somewhere romantic. But unless there's plenty of money for this schedule, do not discard the idea. Surely there is a close and cozy place that you can spend a few days and enjoy some great times together.

Christmas Gifts for Men - Women use your Creativity!

Besides being a time to meet with people who are important in our lives during the year, Christmas is also time to show how much we care about someone we like. Therefore, it doesn't take much time and money to choose a nice gift, that has everything to do with the personality of who will receive it.

Many people have in mind that the more complicated gifts to buy are those for men. But it is exactly the opposite.

Finding a Christmas Gift for a Man, which will please him, whether father, brother, uncle, grandfather or even a friend, it's easier than you think. Most men are not as picky as women. But that does not mean that anything is fair when buying a souvenir. It is important to worry and that will reflect on the happiness of those who will receive the gift.

Soon after you search and learn more about the hobbies, preferences, tastes and personality of the person, and know exactly how much to spend on this, it is time to define what will combine more with that person.
  • Men that are more vain prefer perfumes, clothes, jewelry and grooming products, such as a shaver, for example.
  • Those who are interested and like to play sports will love to win any enhancement for physical activity, like ball, tennis racquets, sportswear. Good quality caps, boots, shoes and books and DVDs that talk about the subject are also a good choice.
  • The ones considered traditional enjoy a good book, more discreet perfumes, charming and good pens, keychains and accessories for the car.
  • Younger people enjoy more gadgets like cell phones, stereos, MP3 players, CDs and DVDs, computers and, of course, video games and their games.

Christmas Gift For Kids - Super Creative Tips

Christmas is celebrated by everyone, adults and children, young and old. The date has a different and special magic. It is a time of fellowship with the special people in our lives. It is also time to give someone you care about, like friends, brothers and fathers. But the best is to give a special gift for a child, whether son, nephew or grandchild. It is when a child receives a gift from "Good Old Man", which you can see and feel a true and sincere happiness, with a contagious smile.

So, for that, Christmas is such an important date for all it, but for the little ones you must devote a little more time in order to find the Christmas season more than perfect. In stores and malls there are plenty of Christmas presents for children, according to each age group, and for all tastes and pockets.

A good tip is to avoid, at least at Christmas, being a date eagerly anticipated by children, give away books or clothes. Toys are the ideal choice and they will love to show it to all his friends.

For boys, it is good to buy video games, electronic games, with control, with cars, airplanes, ships and robots and toys some more radical, such as skates, bicycle, scooter and skates in addition to traditional football-related items such as balls and uniforms teams. Already the girls, who are a little more demanding, beautiful and fun prefer dolls, clothes for dolls, teddy bears, objects to playing house, such as cooking utensils.

Some toys can be considered unisex and have the power to please both girls and boys. Trampoline, toys related to cartoon characters like SpongeBob, for example, board games (according to age), puzzles and mass modeling are some alternatives. For minors, any toys with lights, sounds and movements are ideal.

Christmas Gifts for Men

Christmas is coming and with it the task of giving gifts to friends and family. Although not always part of preparations for the festivities of New Year and to assemble the Christmas tree and decorate the house, buy food for the dinner and gifts for the whole family, men love to receive Christmas gifts this time of year.

Like women, men also consider Christmas an important time and wait for their gifts. But as they talk less, it is difficult to figure out what they want, especially if there is not much intimacy. If, by chance, the gift is for a person you do not know well, seek help from those close to him.

Among the gifts that men more like to receive are electronic appliances such as shavers, radios and DVDs, iPods and cell phones. And of course they expect to receive the latest ones. Another well accepted gift are shoes, especially sneakers for men who like to play sports or social shoe for business men. Gifts such as these have higher prices and are usually offered to people closer as father, husband or boyfriend.

A good tip for Christmas gifts for boyfriend, that are more affordable and that men also like very much are CDs and DVDs with his favorite artists, for example. The books also please the more intellectual, but unlike women they do not care much for novels and self-help books. And there are still those who cling to childhood and are happy to receive games for the computer or video games.

Be the man your father, boyfriend, uncle, cousin or friend, you need to know the taste and personality to do the correct pick.

Presenting with Wine this Christmas

With the arrival of the holiday season, has also arrived the time to buy gifts, and nothing better to do for someone you like. In these times, good gift tips are always welcome and one is giving a good wine for Christmas.

Some people compare wine with friendship, because both improve with time, which makes the wine a great choice of Christmas present to give to a friend. To further improve the present, it may be accompanied, for example, by a book, an accessory like a bottle opener and other wine-specific glasses.

There are numerous types of wines, since they are classified as class, color and sugar content, so you need to know the preference of the person you wish to present. As for the class of table wine may be, light, sparkling wine, liqueur or compound, as the color, the wine can be red, white, pink and about the sugar content can be dry, medium sweet and gentle. Each wine has its specialty, so you need to search before.

Another good option is to choose wines that come in boxes of wood, as this enhances the presentation. You can also assemble a custom basket with wine and cheese, a combination that pleases different types of people and is well appreciated, besides showing elegance and good taste.

The point is to combine the flavors. Stronger wines like the red better match cheeses with stronger flavors too, like parmesan. Just as light red wine goes with cheeses like Camembert and mozzarella cheese that follow up with fruit wine or sweet white wine. This good match is called harmonization.

Another great tip is to buy new things. Every day new wines are appearing on the market, new wines as in traditional regions. Countries known for the enormous export of wine as France, Italy, Spain and Portugal send high quality wines from new producers, modern and dynamic, without the high prices of those already established.

Enjoy the tips for Christmas presents, because they will be hard to miss when it comes to gift someone with a good wine and make the holiday year even more special, as they should be.

Christmas Gifts for Men - The Ideal Gift Set

Present those that we love isn't always easy, especially when we want to use creative and make a surprise. For men, women are the most difficult, super vain, fussy, always want more. However, it is not always so. As much as we deny it, they are also complicated and very demanding when choosing a gift.

With the arrival of the end of the year, buying a special object to your boyfriend, husband, friend or a relative, a brother or cousin, is fundamental to please that person even more. Some are basic criteria in time to give Christmas gifts to men: use your imagination, use elegant peaces, easy to use and practical on the day to day.

At the time of gathering the family, celebrate, make a special dinner and gifts for those we love is vital to give something that is different and stand out among so many other objects. So, simple shirts, caps or belts can be cut from the list, since they are common objects.

Perfume, special with remarkable smells; books on any subject he knows and likes, as rock bands, cars, sports, a different DVD, hard to find, some miniature of a particular area he's in love with, are good gifts, which can fit any budget and that will certainly please him.

Usually, the guys like and enjoy drinks more than women. Therefore, a good bottle of wine, champagne or whiskey may please!

At the time of giving, is very important to know the tastes and preferences of the person, not to rely only on our own concepts of beautiful and ugly, good or bad.

Since men are not as sentimental as women, at least in theory, the ideal is to provide something that is useful, striking, inserted into his routine, so that whenever he use it, remember that special person who gave that object.

Christmas Gifts Tips for Girlfriends

Christmas is a Christian celebration commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. However, the date ended up becoming a symbol of gift exchange, also by religious and nonreligious.

Christmas Baskets - Symbol Of Gratitude

The preparations for Christmas have started and are well accelerated across all countries! Between Christmas presents for relatives and loved ones, gifts for customers and suppliers, the companies also take advantage of the coming of the end of year to reward their employees with Christmas baskets. The contents may vary according to each organization, but cookies and panettone are indispensable items.

When choosing products, it is important to consider that we should not only appeal to the employee but also his family: wife / husband, children. For this, the solution is that some organizations are betting on basics like sugar, rice, coffee, beans, cornmeal, pasta, salt, cake mix, pasta, tomato sauce, soybean oil, raisins, chocolates, nuts and Oreo. These are the most common and the diversity of the existing brands on the market today can make an extensive market research and cheapen the basket with such food.

Other products for Christmas baskets interest and differentiation, which may help the company to innovate in the present, while part of the climate of year-end are: Champagnes and buttery biscuits, jelly roll and wafer. However, despite having more chances to please, these are items that can be added to the gift. Wines, liqueurs, nuts and jellies can also be given, depending on the available budget. The ideal is to establish expenditure targets to determine which of them could be bought.

Delivery is a delicate moment, since the products must be packaged well to not break or spoil, especially when they are moved to more remote locations. It may be in three ways: door to door (the company distributes directly to the residence of the employees), simple (distribution is made in-house) and self distribution (happens at predetermined points).

To have no accidents, we must be attentive to the chosen design of the packaging, and containers of products. If there is glass, for example, care must be taken not to break, the cans should be arranged, and not harm the quality of the content. Perishable products, preferably, should be off the list, since they run the risk of ruin in the middle. The use of cellophane can also help in protection.

The most used models for baskets are wicker or even a cardboard box decorated. The most important thing is to use creativity and leave it beautiful, either with a tie or even decorative objects.

Today, companies can, as a way of promoting your brand, choose to customize these packages with your name or your logo.

However, the main objective to distribute Christmas baskets is to reward those who contributed so much for your business. This is a symbol of thanksgiving and, through this simple act, you can motivate and make your employees feel more valued within the organization.
