This holiday season, give the gift of craft beer and ale-ventures on the BC Ale Trail.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Okay, folks, it’s that time of year, and I’m here to give some gifting inspiration. As always, the best way to shop for your nice list is local all the way \u2014 so here is this year’s updated craft beer lover’s gift guide to help you get things done.<\/p>\n

Stocking stuffers<\/h3>\n

One thing that will never go out of style is the stocking stuffer. These are the tiny but mighty gifts that delight any giftee because the kid in us loves to unpack a Christmas stocking. This is where the thought truly counts and hits our hearts. (It’s sappy but true.)<\/p>\n

Gift Cards<\/h4>\n

Hear me out on this one. Giving the gift of choice so someone can purchase something they actually want<\/strong><\/em> is an amazing gift. (Especially after almost two years of having to compromise on so much.) Gift cards are also a fantastic way to support your local breweries, brewpubs, and local liquor stores. Main Street Brewing<\/a>, Wildeye Brewing<\/a> and Andina Brewing Co.<\/a> are just a few examples of breweries with gift card options. Some, like Container Brewing<\/a> and Brassneck Brewery<\/a>, also have the option to purchase e-gift cards.<\/p>\n

Swag<\/h4>\n

Kit your gift list out with swag from their favourite breweries (or your favourite). Many breweries \u2014 Vancouver Island Brewing<\/a>, Fernie Brewing<\/a>, Howe Sound Brewing<\/a>, Fisher Peak Brewing<\/a>, Red Arrow Brewing<\/a> and Townsite Brewing<\/a> just to name a few! \u2014 have swag available for purchase in their tasting room. You name it, they’ve probably got it:<\/p>\n
