Holiday gift ideas for the beer lover in your life »
The Washington beer blog has a great list of christmas gifts for your craft beer loving significant friend, son, daugrther, or significant other.
My favorite from the list has to be the “Growler on Board” Beer Growler carrying seat designed to be strapped into you car.
As more and more beer bars, stores and other locations start offering growlers of beer for you to take home, transporting said large heavy glass containers can be a challenge.
This $29.99 beer bumbo will not only protect three growlers over the worst NYC pot holes, but it will protect your car from smelling beer for the next three months after you clean up a spilled load.
A good investment on multiple accounts.

The holidays are a time for travel, why not take some great craft beer back home, or perhaps you’ll recieve some as a gift and want to get it home.
The Girls Pint Out blog has some great trips for traveling with beer on a plane.

I can definitely see Hard Cider becoming a craft beer/ Homebrew nitch.
