If you want to get something besides candy and stuffed animals for the man in your life, there are plenty of other, more guy-friendly options to look out for. There are some gifts- unique or otherwise- that may be perfect for the man in your life.

Goodnight Brew: A Parody for Beer People!  It’s closing time at the brewery. While the moon rises, the brewery crew—including three little otters (in charge of the water), a wort hog, and a hops wildebeest—introduce us to the brewing equipment, ingredients, and styles of beer. Join this fanciful crew as they close down for the evening and say goodnight to the brew kettle, barley and yeast, hops and mash, saison, porter, IPA, and much more.

 

Cheese & Beer by Janet Fletcher  Maybe you’re buying a gift for someone that already knows everything about beer. Well, get them a present that emphasizes their beer knowledge while blowing their minds with cheese.  Cheese and Beer will teach the best cheeses to pair with popular beer styles.

The Complete Joy of Homebrewing Fourth Edition: Fully Revised and Updated is for any craft-beer lover that’s ready to take the plunge into homebrewing. Simple and easy to understand, Charlie Papazian is known for his mantra: “Relax, don’t worry, have a homebrew.”

The BeerSmith Mobile app has all the tools you need to design, refine, and make the important calculations you need to make world class beer. It is the world’s top selling homebrewing software and can be used on your desktop and now an Android app. You can save recipes to your desktop or in the cloud to access them anywhere, and the app even has full profiles of most homebrew equipment and ingredients, as well as a marker for the brew session date.

Radical Brewing: Recipes, Tales and World-Altering Meditations in a Glass by Randy Mosher will not only school you on the history of brewing but also goes into all sorts of ancient and exotic beers and brewing techniques. If you’re curious about some of the crazier beers being made these days–like Dogfish Head’s historically ancient ale recreations, or even wild experiments like Portland’s Breakside Brewery is doing–then this book is for you. Some of the most interesting recipes in this book are for beers like a Chanterelle Mushroom Ale, or a Devon White Ale made with flour and eggs. It’s not all crazy stuff, though, as Randy Mosher breaks down how to best use whole fruit, herbs, and spices, or talks about historically accurate oyster stouts.
