14 Valentine’s Day Gifts for the Beer Lover in Your Life
Something other than flowers and chocolate.
Updated on February 8, 2021
The love of your life has another love in their life. Their borderline fanatical courtship comes in the form of stocking your fridge with cans of Burley Oak J.R.E.A.M, leaving their side of the bed cold on a Saturday morning to go stand in line for three hours at an Other Half can release, and wearing a Jester King hoodie to your family dinners. We understand. So, for all those beer lovers who are your true love, here are 14 gifts to complete their Valentine’s Day (and you).
uKeg Pressurized Growler
uCan take your beer anywhere with the uKeg. If your steady sidekick wants to kick it on the beach, take you on a date to the park, or even Netflix and chill at home, the uKeg half-gallon growler will keep their prized beer cold and freshly carbonated for up to two weeks (perfect for Game of Thrones bingeing). We loved this growler so much we included it in some of our other gear lists. Whether on the go or at home, the 64oz toter’s durable double-wall vacuum insulated stainless steel bear hugs their cherished craft beer to chilly, fizzy perfection. Game on growler. Game on.
Jungle Juice Tumbler
Our latest beer glass just dropped about a week ago and we still have a few left! This particular release was a collaboration with LA-based clothing company T.V. Dad, which stocks some of our favorite cartoon-inspired merch around. The glass was designed by Ales Div, who was tasked with creating a nostalgic sippy cup-inspired glass. And I think they nailed it. Scoop one up before they’re all gone!

Nothing says “I love you” like cold beer. Sure, this might be a pricey purchase, but your SO is worth it. But seriously, there are few better gifts for ardent beer lovers than a dedicated beer fridge. And there are few better beer fridges than the New Air beer fridge. With customizable shelving, we can fit a variety of up to 125 and cans and bottles. Plus, the sturdy, stylish design will look great in your kitchen.
Brew Ha Ha! Beer Drinking Game
Combine Cards Against Humanity with…well drinking and you’ll create Brew Ha Ha!

Players take turns playing judge while the rest of the group sets down the card they think best fits the beer sampled during that round. In essence, the more you drink the more you win.
Brooklyn Brew Shop Beer Making Kit
One of my first Valentine’s Day gifts from my fiancée was actually a homebrew kit. Beer making kits make great gifts for the beer lover in your life.

And, if you’re looking for one in particular, we think the Mikkeller Beer Geek stout is among their best.
