As an Amazon affiliate, I am hyper-aware of what Amazon is up to in the beer-related retail space and always watch for items that I (and you) might be interested in. Here are some items I found on sale (at the moment of this posting) that I think you would be interested in:
This LED neon beer cave sign. It’s the new version of a neon sign, and way cheaper than a traditional version. Currently, it is 30% off and only costs $27.
This 42′ television. Because when I am drunk and sitting in front of my TV trying to find something to watch, I like to know I didn’t pay more than $130 for it.
This Cosori air fryer. Look, we drink and get hungry; it’s what we do. We might as well have a five-star-rated air fryer around.
This 35oz leak proof BruMate mug. Yeah it says “coffee” mug but we all know we can hide our beers in it and walk around the neighborhood, keeping our beers cool.
Your beer is getting warmer by the second and you need a can cooler, NOW! You are in the right place.
This post is nothing but can (and bottle) coolers! First, I will list my top three and then put together a list of others I think could work out well for your can-cooling needs.
This one is all the things. It works for a 16oz, has an insert so you can hold a 120zl, and acts like a cup if needed. If you are looking to have just one can cooler, this is it. I own this one and some days I have coffee in it and others I have a beer can in it (the best days are when there is a beer can in it)
There are a lot of Yeti and other brand 160z can coolers to choose from, but the Alpine Yellow is speaking to me today. So I went with it. This one is for times when you want everyone to clearly see you have a Yeti can cooler and you’re super rad because of it.

A List Of Can Coolers (and bottle too)
Above I showed you a top three for can coolers. Now I will filter through reviews on Amazon and elsewhere to sus out what looked to be some other good ones. Including some bottle and thin can coolers:
I think we have can coolers covered well enough. If you are looking to expand your beer gift options for a cool person or yourself (also, a cool person), check out my post: Beer Gifts for Men (and Women Too).

Last night all I had around to drink was old beer that I hadn’t bothered drain-pouring yet. This made me question how to make these old beers taste better. What can be done?
I filtered the results and brought the best to you.
Turns out, you will need a French press. I don’t have one so I say you can just kind of mix in the things some other way – but you’ll probably get better results using a French press (something I now am adding to my wish list).
There are two main ideas to bring new life to your old beer, but I want to quickly list all of the best ones here before we get into detail:
Mixing the beer with citrus or coffee in a French Press.
Okay, so, the most serious of the beer re-fresh ideas is using a French press. But what do you press with your beer? Try these:
Remove the zest of a grapefruit (orange or lime could work too). Take that zest and half a grapefruit (with the peel removed) and put them through a French press. Take that and put it on the top of your beer (I obviously don’t know how French presses work). Gives your beer a fresh citrus vibe that overtakes the cardboard. Good for Pales and IPAs or any beer that can take on citrus.
Take cocoa nibs and put them through the French press process with your beer. Good for tart beers.
Take freshly ground coffee and put your beer through the French press process. Works best on Stouts but I think it would add something to most styles.
Slice half a mango, and use the French press process. Good for West Coast IPAs.
For Lager and Ambers it doesn’t matter, they already wack and there is no helping them…ZING!🤣
Not every idea for brightening your beer involves a French press. Another great (and easier) idea to try is adding a couple of drops of a Bitter. Let’s listen to Cara tell us about bitters and think about which ones would be good for the style of beer we want to taste fresh again:
So yeah, now I gotta get a French press – and never use it for coffee. Speaking of, here is a list of equipment and other items that would help you have a good beer freshening system:
The best looking (to me) French press that is nicely rated – you can see the beer you’re pressing without obstructions: Bodum Brazil French Press.
You are looking for the best beer gift ideas for yourself or the rad beer geek in your life, and I am here to give them to you. I am always looking for gift ideas so I thought you probably do too.
Sure, you can wander Amazon or the Internet as a whole and call it a day. No, it’s too basic. You could waste a lot of time that way. You need someone to filter it down for you.
I am a beer geek and also a guy and I know what I would like to get as a gift for Christmas, or birthday, or Father’s Day, or any damn day. I want to give you some good ideas for a beer gift for you or some other awesome person.
My List of Best Beer Gifts For Men (and Women)
Here are some beer geek gifts I would like and I hope it helps you figure out what to buy the beer person in your life. There is a full description of gifts and links to many beer gifts further down in the post, but here are my top eight picks for beer person gifts, if you don’t have time for all that:
In my opinion, a Yeti is the best cooler around. Everything else just tries to be it. Is it expensive? Sure. But keeping beer cold for a long time is worth it.
*Heads up: Most of these links are affiliates of my blog – just something “they” feel you should know.I might make a tiny percentage if you end up buying something.
A Fun Beer Device
I want a Square Keg so much. I am hoping they will send me one. It makes you the cool guy at the tailgate that has draft beer. People will say “Did you see that guy with the square beer thing? It was pretty cool, too bad the guy was such a dork.” I am ready to be that guy.
But you can’t go wrong with this one. Even with Untappd, I still like to keep a log of my thoughts while drinking. A notebook would also be great for home brewers.
A Beer Making Kit and a Brewing Class
There are a lot of brewing kits on Amazon to choose from. The Northern Brewer series of home brewer starter kits, seem to be the best rated – they have many different beer styles, so make sure you’re not getting one with a beer style your person hates.
Bonus quick links to gifts that a person into beer would also like. I am going to keep adding to the list until it becomes the greatest gift idea list for beer geeks of all time!:
Like this party pump, everyone wants to be the person with the party pump.
Good Luck With Your Beer Gifting!
This was a guide I put together for you, a person looking to buy a solid gift for a beer geek. Maybe that person is you, or maybe it’s someone you know. Just know that I am a beer geek and I would love anything here, so I am guessing the beer person in your life would too.
Also, I would like to tell you that the ultimate beer gift you can give is hanging out and enjoying some music with your friend or loved one, with no judgment, just love and appreciation.
I will regularly check back with this post and update it with more beer gifts and gadgets so bookmark this, you fine gift-giving person.
