Beer gifts for someone who has tasted it all

Everyone knows someone who gets a bottle of craft beer every birthday, and already knows that bottle. This page is for them. Here you'll find beers from the US and Canada that are almost impossible to buy in Europe: barrel aged imperial stouts, barleywines and pastry stouts, brewed in small batches.

Which bottle suits whom?

• Loves bourbon or whisky? Go for a Bourbon County Stout from Goose Island. Aged in bourbon barrels, with vanilla, oak and caramel.
• Got a sweet tooth? A pastry stout is a good pick, like Millpond Three Layers: chocolate cake in a glass.
• Likes to cellar a bottle? An older vintage, like the 2018 Reserve Bourbon County, can keep for years. Also read how to store imperial stout.
• Prefers something other than stout? Have a look at the barleywines: warming, syrupy and often with notes of fruit and caramel.

Not sure? Send me a quick message about what they like to drink and I'll help you choose.
