Gifts for Men Who Love Beer

Buying a gift for a dad who loves beer sounds easy. It isn't. Get him a random supermarket multipack and you've essentially bought him a Tuesday. Get him novelty beer socks and he'll thank you politely, then never think about them again.

Our Pub In The Post hampers pair beers from proper breweries - Guinness, Hawkstone, BrewDog, Beavertown, Camden Town, Vocation - with our award - winning pub snacks. Most come with a glass and tasting notes written with the brewers themselves, so he can pretend the pairing was his idea.

SERIOUS PIG & HAWKSTONE GIFT SET

For the dad who watches Clarkson's Farm and now has opinions about lager. Hawkstone is the Cotswolds brewery made famous by a certain farming programme, and their beer genuinely lives up to the fuss. Craft beers, a quality glass and a generous spread of our snacks. It's our most popular hamper by some distance, and there's a reason for that.

SERIOUS PIG & GUINNESS GIFT SET

For the dad who has never once ordered anything else. Some men found their drink decades ago and see no reason to reconsider. Fair enough. This one pairs the famous stout with snacks that were frankly born to sit next to it. A pint of the black stuff and a pack of Snacking Cheese is one of life's more reliable pleasures.

SERIOUS PIG & BREWDOG 'BIG NIGHT IN'

For the dad who takes his craft beer seriously. Possibly too seriously. A generous hamper from the loudest brewery in Britain - if he's the sort who says "notes of grapefruit" without irony, this is the one. Plenty of beer, plenty of snacks, and enough of both to make an evening of it.

SERIOUS PIG & BREWDOG 'LITTLE NIGHT IN'

Same idea, smaller footprint. All the BrewDog goodness in a more modest package. Ideal if you like him, but not quite Big Night In levels of like him. We understand. Families are complicated.

SERIOUS PIG LAGER PUB IN THE POST

For the dad who just wants a decent lager, thank you very much. No fuss, no fruit - forward tasting wheel, just premium lager and top - drawer snacks. Sometimes the best gift is the one that doesn't require him to learn anything new.

SERIOUS PIG & CAMDEN TOWN BREWERY GIFT SET

For the dad who appreciates a London classic. Camden Town make some of the most drinkable beer in the country. A very safe bet that doesn't feel like a safe bet.

SERIOUS PIG & BEAVERTOWN BEER GIFT BOX

For the dad who picks his beer by the artwork. No judgement. Beavertown's cans are the best - looking in the fridge, and what's inside them holds up its end of the bargain too. A great shout for dads with slightly more adventurous taste buds.

SERIOUS PIG & VOCATION BEER GIFT BOX

For the dad who likes discovering things before everyone else. Vocation are a Yorkshire brewery beloved by people who know their beer, and this mini tasting experience lets him work his way through their range with snacks to match. The gift equivalent of a very good tip.

SERIOUS PUB IN THE POST

The original. For the dad who simply loves the pub. The hamper that started it all - beer and the full spread of Serious Pig snacks, delivered to his door. It's a pub, in the post. The name really does cover it.

And one for the dad who fancies something stronger.

SERIOUS PIG & JAMES GIN GIFT SET

Technically not beer, but we'd be doing you a disservice not to mention it. Gin from James May's distillery, paired with our snacks. For the dad who's branched out, or the one you suspect might like to.

THE PRACTICAL BIT

A few things worth knowing before you order, because a good gift is a well - planned gift.

Every hamper is gift - ready out of the box. No receipts inside, no obvious branding on the outer parcel, and you can add a free gift note at checkout or a personalised greeting card for a small fee.

Nothing needs the fridge. Everything in the hamper is perfectly happy at room temperature, and everything lasts at least three months from purchase - so ordering early won't backfire.

All our snacks are gluten free and safe for coeliacs. The beer, being beer, is not.

Delivery is quick too. Choose 24 or 48 hour Royal Mail shipping at checkout. Order before 2pm and it'll be on its way the same day. We don't ship on Sundays, because even we need a day off.

IN SUMMARY

If in doubt: Hawkstone for the farm show fan, Guinness for the traditionalist, BrewDog for the enthusiast, Camden for the London loyalist, and the original Pub In The Post for the dad who just misses his local.

Whichever you choose, he gets great beer, seriously good snacks, and an evening sorted. Which is more than can be said for the socks.
