You’d be hard pressed to find a craft beer lover that doesn’t have a growler or two kicking around somewhere. But it’s time to take that growler game up another level with a signature growler beyond the standard glass variety. Fortunately there are several craft breweries willing to help you out. You can find ceramic growlers at breweries like Strange Fellows and33 Acres, stainless steel varietals at Big Rock and Main Street, and unique hand blown glass at Dockside and the upcoming Fieldhouse Brewing in Abbotsford. Just don’t forget to fill it with beer.
Total cost: Variable
One Year Subscription to The Growler
Bet you didn’t know that we had our very own quarterly B.C. beer magazine? The Growler is fairly new but already contributing to the growing craft beer industry. Featuring profiles on B.C. breweries, news, interviews and a very stylish format, The Growler is a great gift for anyone that cares enough about craft beer to read about it.
Total cost: $30 for a year (includes previous 3 issues)
Brewha All-In-One Homebrew System
Brewha Equipment Co.
Admittedly this is an extravagant gift, but in my opinion this is probably the single most sophisticated home brewing system on the market. Made locally, the Brewha BIAC is an amazing system that merges all the elements of homebrewing into one simple and clean set-up. This is a homebrewer’s dream and sure to make some killer beer.
Total cost: $2,914 USD and up

There are a few different options out there right now for advent calendars featuring local craft beer. Picking up one of these ensures your craft beer lover gets the chance to try a bunch of different styles, plus some limited edition batches exclusive to the box. These are pretty easy to find at most BC Liquor Stores or at associated craft breweries like Parallel 49.
