The 2022 Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for Beer Lovers

Happy Valentine’s Day, our beer loving friends! We are typically a pretty chill couple for Valentine’s Day. Even in non-COVID times, you’ll often find us on February 14th sipping a chocolate stout, lying on the couch in a pile of pink chocolate wrappers, and watching a movie. But we alway get each other a little something delicious to enjoy. Whether you’re celebrating with a spouse, partner, roommate, parent, or even dog, mark the day with beer-filled festivities (and not just by laying in a pile of pink chocolate wrappers; do as we say, not as we do). We’ve got cookbooks and coasters, subscription services and curated gift boxes. Whatever your plans, you’re sure to find something for your special someone on our Valentine’s Day gift guide for beer lovers!

Tavour’s Stout Gift Box Set

Russell orders barrel aged stouts, juicy IPAs, tart sours, and more from Tavour every month. Tavour is the reason we had to get a second fridge. Surprise your darling with Tavour’s custom stout gift box set, featuring 8-16 (!!) craft beers at peak freshness. Instead of a box of chocolates, get your Valentine a box of chocolate stouts. ($99)

 

Shirts on Tap Gift Card

We love receiving a custom brewery shirt each month through Shirts on Tap. Your subscription is completely customizable – choose the city (Denver! San Diego! Chicago! and more!) and the style (t-shirt, tank, long sleeve, baseball tee, or hoodie, depending on the season). You’ll get a shirt every month that you’ll wear for years, along with several coupons and stickers! Plus, they’re soft, which makes them perfect for holiday cuddles. ($25-$250) (affiliate link)

 

Half Time’s Valentine’s Day Gift Box

If you don’t have a local bottle shop, first of all it’s time to move, but might we suggest Half Time’s Valentine’s Day gift box? With a wide array of beers – from lagers to stouts, plus a cider and hard seltzer for a little extra spice – this gift box is a great addition to your personalized beer flight date night. ($54.99)

 

Bro Basket’s Hop Head IPA Gift Basket

Does your significant other need the royal – or should I say broyal – treatment on Valentine’s Day? Bro Basket’s Hop Head IPA gift basket literally has everything you need to have the perfect Valentine’s Day date night in. A pint glass! Popcorn! Chocolates! Most importantly, four bottles of some fantastic California IPAs. It’ll make Valentine’s Day brotally awesome. ($49.95)

 

Jerky Heart

Russell’s face lit up like Times Square when he showed me this Jerky Heart from Man Crates. Standard flavors like classic and garlic mix with spicy flavors like habanero and ghost pepper, and you can’t forget the more unusual flavors – root beer?? – making this unique gift a perfect pairing to your Valentine’s Day beer drinking festivities. ($39.99)

 

Beer Gift God’s Valentine’s Day Beer Gift

Beer Gift Gods’ Valentine’s Day Beer Gift is your one stop for everything you need to surprise your little soup dumpling — 12 of New England’s best IPAs, a heart shaped peanut butter, two bags of chocolate, and Cutie Pie candies. Sure to impress even the toughest dumpling. ($99.99)

 

Personalized Beer Flight

Quarantine holidays can be weird – if you are celebrating at home, consider picking up some cans from your local bottle shop and surprise your lover with a personalized beer flight. It’s a fun way to change up your drinking experience, which, after 12 months of quarantine drinking, is definitely a good thing. (From $53.56)

 

The Craft Beer Cookbook by Jacquelyn Dodd

(consider supporting a local book store; we love Eso Won in Los Angeles!)

Speaking of quarantine holidays, after your personalized beer flight, what better way to show your loved one you care than to whip up a delicious home-cooked meal. Stay on theme with The Craft Beer Cookbook. We’re partial to the salmon with Dijon beer cream sauce, but I wouldn’t say no to a chocolate stout cake. ($19.99)

 

Unique Pretzels Chocolate Covered Pretzels

We are Unique Pretzel stans at the Beer Travel Guide, so we were delighted to see their chocolate covered pretzel tins – choose your own tin, chocolate, and amount, for a fully customizable treat that will pair beautifully with a chocolate stout. (And while there, don’t forget to buy a few bags of Extra Dark Splits, the best pretzel in the universe!) (From $35.95)

 

Beer Box Subscription

Is your chocolate chunk cookie a little difficult to shop for? Give them a Beer Box subscription! We love the variety Beer Box offers with eight different craft breweries every single month, plus it’s a fun surprise of two 16 ounce cans and six 12 ounce cans – there are never duplicates, and freshness is guaranteed! ($49.95)

 

Craft Candles

On a budget but still eager to show you care? These cans repurpose craft beer cans – from great breweries like Trillium, Other Half, and many others! – into deliciously fragrant candles. Light a candle or two on Valentine’s Day night to really set the mood. (From $13)

 

Personalized Growler

Sneaking out on Valentine’s Day to snag your lover fresh local craft beer is sure to earn you brownie points. Put that delicious brew in a personalized growler they can refill time and time again? You’re about to get lucky, my friend. ($29.99)

 

Beer Drop Subscription

A Beer Drop subscription is the gift that just keeps giving – just like you on Valentine’s Day night, am I right? 😉 Beer Drop currently offers a Hop Exploration gift package, which includes five different hop varietals, a hop exploration guide, and a glass. This Hop Box is also free with a three month Beer Drop gift card! ($30)

 

Home Brewing Kit

While dinner and drinks is always nice, spice up your Valentine’s Day with an activity you and your cutie pie can enjoy together. This home brewing kit is simple to use, making it the perfect intro into homebrewing. Bonus that you can either enjoy (or laugh over) your homemade brew in just a few weeks! ($69.99)

 

Beer Grain Dog Treats

We got our dog, Dawn, these four-ingredient dog treats for Christmas, and she devoured them. These treats use up spent beer grain (no waste!) and 10% of the profit of each bag sold is donated to an animal protection organization. If your Valentine’s Day plans include cuddling with your furry friend on the couch (#itme), snag a bag of these treats that give back to show Spot how much you love him. ($7.99)

 

Let us know in the comments — what beer-related Valentine’s day gifts are you giving your toasty marshmallow this year? Any beer-related activities you’ll be enjoying? We’re planning a day trip to San Diego to pick up some incredible Valentine’s Day beer specials (and eat fish tacos, duh). Happy Valentine’s Day!
