    So, I've got a buddy who is passing a milestone birthday in a few months and one of his relatives turned to me to see if I could reco any "beer gifts". I couldn't in good conscience steer them towards any beer resale sites, so I was thinking a gift card to an online beer store or a beer of the month subscription but I don't know where to even turn for THOSE things.

    Any ideas of what would make a good gift in the $100 - $200 price range?

    Thanks for the help fellas (and gals).

    What he really might like is to spend the money you were on arranging a trade for some Cantillon, BCBS, Hunahpu, or Citra.

    I know I want my buddies to get me a bottle of BCBS. If my girl was on here, Id ask for that. and a 4 pack of Sofie.

    Not that rare but still the best bet in terms of a BOM club. I second that recommendation.

    If you want to go international with a purchase, I would love to receive this as a gift.

    I know my birthday this year is a milestone, and I know I want a Westvleteren brick, so that is what I recommend you get.

    2nd that one - Utopia is something most people would never buy on their own. Plus, the bottle is so purty.

    You might also consider a set of custom-etched pint glasses. A lot of places online will do it for a reasonable price.
