‘Tis the season of gift-giving, and while there is a multitude of products you can purchase online, outlet sales, and megadeals from your favorite brands, nothing beats receiving a handmade, DIY gift. Knowing that someone took the time and effort to craft something especially made for you gives you all the warm holiday feelings in the world.
In the spirit of the season, we’ve put together handmade gift ideas for the beer lovers. Here are a few beer gift ideas for your friends who would appreciate a personal touch to their favorite brews. Each gift idea comes with three bottles of San Miguel’s premium beer line: a bottle of San Miguel Super Dry for days when they feel like drinking a smooth amber lager; a bottle of San Miguel Premium All-Malt for days when they feel like drinking a full-flavored blend of hops in a Pilsen malt; and a Cerveza Negra, a full-bodied dark lager with rich caramel notes for their bold and daring cravings.
