What to give a man who loves beer: 15 ideas by budget

Short answer: for a man who loves beer, people give either the beer itself (a craft set, a subscription, a tasting at a brewery) or something that makes beer better: glasses, a cooler, an opener with character, and a snack. The best edible gift in this category is a dried cheese set: crispy, salty, made “for beer” by definition, and it doesn’t spoil for a year and a half, so you can buy it in advance. Below are 15 ideas by budget.

Up to 500 UAH

1. START set of cheese snacks for beer — 3 packs of 28 g for 279 UAH. Minimal, but definitely on point: START.
2. A glass for his favourite style. A tulip for IPA, a mug for lager, a snifter for stout: the glass changes the taste more than you’d think.
3. A magnetic opener or one with a cap catcher. A small thing he sees every day.
4. MIX set “cheese + nut” — 5 packs of 20 g mixes: cheese with peanut, almond, hazelnut, cashew or walnut. The classic beer pairing in one pack, 279 UAH: MIX.
5. A book about beer — an atlas of styles or a history of craft beer.

500–1500 UAH

6. the ALL IN set — 10 packs of dried cheese, every flavour in the range, 899 UAH: to find out which cheese goes with which beer. ALL IN.
7. A craft set of 6–8 bottles of different styles from a local brewery + a pack of smoked Sulguni for the dark beer.
8. A 500 g pack of smoked Sulguni — for those who get friends together for a match: a bowl of snacks for the whole evening, with no waste. 500 g.
9. A bottle cooler or a cooler bag for a picnic.
10. A ticket to a beer festival or a brewery tour with a tasting.

Over 1500 UAH

11. Master Collection — 20 packs: pure cheese in 14 and 28 g plus nut mixes. Looks impressive, gets eaten within a month. Master Collection.
12. A home brewing kit. For the man who has tried everything.
13. A craft beer subscription — a box of new beers every month.
14. A keg system or a home beer tap. A gift “for years”.
15. Combo set: 4 bottles of craft beer + 4 packs of cheese, matched in pairs (lager with Gouda, IPA with Cheddar, stout with Sulguni, wheat beer with Primaggio) + two glasses. You can put it together yourself in an hour, and it looks like a gift from a sommelier.

Why cheese snacks make a great “for beer” gift

• It really goes with beer. Salty crispy cheese is a classic beer snack, just without the grease of smoked cheese braids and the crumbs of flavoured croutons. Which flavours go with which beer is covered in the article cheese snacks for beer.
• Not trivial. Crispy dried cheese is a product made in Ukraine using its own patented technology, and it won the SIAL INNOVATIONS 2024 award in Paris. You have a story to tell when you give it.
• Doesn’t spoil. 18 months without a fridge: you can buy it a month ahead and not think about it.
• It will get eaten. Unlike a third bottle opener.
