Serve it up right.

Seasonal beer

Now that we're in the last day of buying holiday gifts, it's REALLY time to avoid the big stores, and consider gifts that are easy to find, and are appreciated by almost all people on your list (who have reached the age of majority):  a nice bottle of wine or spirits.

With the assistance of the expert behind the counter, you can buy a gift of a nice bottle, for a reasonable amount of money--

But......what about the beer drinker?

If showing up with a 6 pack isn't your idea of a great gift, (even if it's a nice 6 pack), there is an answer!
Go Euro, and buy the correct glasses to serve their beer of choice.  That's right-- in Europe, even in small humble pubs, the bartender pours each beer (or cider) into the appropriate glass.  And these glasses are some of the best bargains of the season, at $3-$5 apiece. This might be the perfect last minute gift.

Where to find these glasses?  Two of our favorite places are The Wine Seller, and Plum Market, but check out any local party store with a nice selection of local artisan or imported beer.
Merry Christmas, Dad!
