Okay, I know gift certificates can be kind of boring but home brewing is one of those hobbies that can be tough to buy for.  If you know what the person wants or you have a good feel for the type of beer they like to brew, you can get more specific.  However, if you aren’t involved in the hobby and don’t know a lot about it, then a gift certificate may be a great alternative.

If the person you are buying the gift certificate for has a favorite local home brew store, than I would suggest going there first to see if they offer gift certificates.  If they are like me and don’t have a store that is local to them, there are a lot of great online alternatives.  Here are a few popular online stores that are well-stocked and offer gift certificates:

• Northern Brewer Gift Certificates
• Rebel Brewer Gift Certificates
• More Beer Gift Certificates
