Supreme Arabic Hoodie

One of the standout pieces from Subhan Supreme‘s Spring 2012 collection is this red pullover with Arabic writing on the front in white. Not sure what it says but what I do know is that I’m buying it when it drops later this week. The entire Supreme Hoodie Arabic collection’s set to drop in the New York, Los Angeles and London shops beginning February 23, and the Japan locations on February 25. Online availability will be offered starting March 1.

Edit: hat-tip from Maria Al-Sabah on Twitter — “Pronounced ‘Sobhan’, it usually is said as “Sobhan Allah”, meaning hallelujah. Sobhan alone really doesn’t mean anything.”

Eddie Bauer Kara Koram Parka

It’s cold out there, folks. Snow’s beginning to fall here on the East Coast though other parts of the country (and world) have already gotten hit.eddie bauer kara koram  outer line may be the perfect companion as most of the gear is aimed at 20 degrees temperatures or below. The Kara Koram parka has actually been tested at -30º F though I’m glad we won’t have to be duplicating such an accomplishment. This down mountaineering jacket is an amazing remake of the original which launched back in the 1950s and even features the sewn-through quilt construction. It’s made with 700 fill power premium northern European goose down and is fitted with an integrated, down-insulated hood. Unbeatable.

Naugahyde, Hyde of the Nauga

My grandmother passed away in 2017 at the age of 93. It’s taken a lot of time and effort for my parents to transport her belongings from where she lived in Virginia to where they live on the west coast. Among those belongings are two Queen Anne style chairs in immaculate condition. They’re upholstered in a smooth, glossy vinyl-covered fabric, in an orange color that I would not have chosen (no offense, grandmom). It was through these chairs that I was introduced to the mid-century phenomenon of Naugahyde.

Naugahyde was one of a plethora of imitation leathers popularized in an era characterized by “post WWII optimism and better-living-through-chemistry ideology.” In order to distinguish themselves in a glutted market, Uniroyal Engineered Products, the creators of Naugahyde, enlisted the services of George Lois, the preeminent art director who worked on the classic Volkswagen ads. And thus, the Nauga creature was born.

The term “Naugahyde” actually arose from the name of the Connecticut town, Naugatuck, where Uniroyal was based, and was trademarked in 1936. But Lois made it literal through the creation of the Nauga, a mythical creature who periodically sheds its skin, resulting in Naugahyde. The Nauga served as a mascot for the material’s water-resistance, durability, and versatility in place of leather. As Kaufmann Mercantile puts it:

By drawing attention to the essential imitation and fakery of the material and essentially celebrating it with a fake narrative wrapped in a knowing, wry, winking humor, Naugahyde was vaulted into the collective consumer consciousness – the ultimate triumph of advertising achieved.

The campaign spawned collectible Nauga dolls, appearances with Johnny Carson, and, in 1981, a comedic Save the Nauga project. According to Snopes, some people have been taken in by Nauga lore over the years. Indeed, when the creature was first invented, the Federal Trade Commission protested that the campaign might be convincing enough to constitute deceptive advertising. Lois relates the story on his website:

A bunch of us from my ad agency hit Fifth Avenue and showed tourists and New Yorkers our Nauga ads and asked, “Is this a real animal?” “What, are you nuts?” they answered. “That’s just a big, fat, ugly, snarling, make-believe creature with a cute tush.”

And I, for one, don’t think he’s ugly.

Bonus: Lois’s website also has a page showcasing the iconoclastic 1960s Esquire covers to which he may or may not have contributed. A few of them are eye roll-inducing in a predictably ‘60s way (see: pretty much any discussion of women), but they’re a fascinating cross-section of the era’s culture and politics.

Low Maintenance Plants for your Luxury Condominium

To all the aspiring Plantitas and Plantitos out there, this article is for you. Nowadays, it is important to take on healthy and meaningful habits that contribute to homeowners’ mental health, especially when they are working from home and spending almost every minute of life indoors. And what better way to bring in the beauty of the outdoors than creating your own living sanctuary indoors through low maintenance plants in your luxury condominium?

Benefits of Growing Low Maintenance Plants at Your Luxury Condominium

Plants have tons of benefits for every Brittany Corporation luxury home. And If you live with your loved ones, it can also be a great bonding activity with children or a way for a newly wed couple to take care of something easy before embarking on the journey of parenthood. Here are a few benefits that are already worth buying a bunch of them.

1. They naturally filter out and clean the air, which is essential considering the pandemic that we are experiencing right now. Plants are able to absorb toxins, increase humidity, and produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Some are even capable of repelling mosquitoes, specifically the citronella plant, which  can be easily grown and then ground to extract the mosquito repelling oils from its leaves.

2. Studies show that low maintenance plants are proven to increase productivity and lessen stress; hence greatly contributing to the homeowner’s mental wellbeing. Moreover, being surrounded by plants helps people feel more calm and relaxed, thus decreasing levels of anxiety. No wonder it is also considered a best practice for employers to install indoor low maintenance plants around their offices and working spaces.

3. Finally, they add beauty to every space, whether that be tiny offices or mansions in the Philippines. Adding living aesthetically pleasing ornamental plants to a room can improve a homeowner’s moods the same way a beautiful painting could light up a whole house and lot. Adding living greenery in a dull spot can truly change the whole mood. Plants remind us that we can be both growing yet beautiful, perfectly still yet helpful.

These are just some general benefits common to most plants, yet with the variety of plants in the world, each plant has its own benefit and some may even pose risks. For example, if you are living with a pet cat or dog, it is imperative that you check first if the plant that you are bringing to your Brittany Corporation luxury home is safe for your furry friends. The plants themselves may be greatly beneficial to you, but are not meant to be ingested at all. To be safe, as with all things, always do your research before buying anything.

📷Maintaining your plants doesn’t have to be an arduous task. You just need to find the right plants for your home. | Photo by Kaufmann Mercantile on Unsplash

Low Maintenance Plants You Should Start Growing in Your Luxury Home by Brittany Corporation

Before becoming true green thumbs, however, every hobbyist must first cover the basics. After all, you most likely won’t be able to grow healthy delicate plants such as roses and orchids, even if you lived in the most expensive houses in the Philippines, if you don’t know how to properly take care of low maintenance plants featured in this article.

Succulents are for the Lazy

Succulents are a type of plant with thick fleshy tissues adapted to water storage. This means that they can store water for longer periods of time in order to withstand hotter temperatures. A famous example of succulent plants is the cactus, which is famous for its ability to thrive in the desert. This means that these low maintenance plants thrive with neglect, which is perfect if you want to check in on your plant only once a week or two.

Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis miller)

The Aloe Vera is a succulent plant known for its plump leaves that can provide a soothing gel for cuts and burns. They also make for great hair masks and face masks, evidently with all the aloe vera based body care products available in the market. Once the leaves are big enough, you can harvest its goodness by plucking out a leaf, peeling it, and pouring the cool gel to a pot for your personal use.

If you want to care for an Aloe Vera, allow the soil to dry out completely in between waterings. Depending on the humidity of your home, that may mean watering as little as every two to three weeks. The average height of the Aloe Vera is two feet, but they can grow up to three feet tall. However, if you want to save on space, you can also choose to grow miniature ones by placing them in smaller two to three inch pots.

If you want to propagate your Aloe Vera, just gently pull out some offsets from the mother plant’s roots. Offsets, also called pups or offshoots, are clones that grow from the stem or roots of the parent plant. Place them in well drained soil where they can grow on their own. Don’t plant them deep into the soil in order for the roots to breathe and heal from the damage, and then just let them dry for a week before you start watering them. In no time, you will have a whole corner of Aloe Vera plants!

📷The Snake Plant | Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash

Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)

Snake plants might just be the most common low maintenance plant for condo homes as well as offices.This is because they are even easier to take care of than other succulent plants like the Aloe Vera. In fact, this mighty plant can even survive weeks without sunlight or water and still look good as new. With this in mind, maybe beauty brands should be focused on trying to discover the Snake Plant’s secrets instead. This alone should be a good enough reason to purchase plants now if you are a lazy aspiring Plantita/Plantito. They are best with medium to bright light and a sprinkle of water when the soil dries out.

If you are wondering about the origins of its name, just check the patterns on its long pointed leaves. They are greens with a pattern reminiscent of a snake’s scaly exterior. These thick and stiff leaves grow up to three feet long. Overtime, the leaves can overcrowd a pot but no worries because you can just repot the other leaves. If you want to propagate some more of these plants, there are two ways: the water method and the soil method. If you want to experiment, you can do both at the same time! Simply cut the leaves of your snake plant but keep the rooted ones in place to grow. Then, place half of the end parts in a new pot, standing on the surface of the soil. Place the bottom of the other half of the end parts in a cup of water and replace the water every couple of days. Soon, you will see tiny roots growing in both batches. Voila!

Jade Plant (Crassula ovata)

The Jade Plant is a crowd favorite because of its adorable jelly bean looking leaves. They stay this way when you keep them in small pots. However, once they grow a few feet taller in bigger pots, the jelly beans start looking like stubby fingers. Since their leaves are thicker than their stems, it goes without saying that this plant can go out of balance if potted in a weak container. Since the top half of the plant is heavier than its base, make sure to use a heavier pot to support the entire plant, such as terracotta pots.

To take care of this low maintenance plant, simply make sure that the soil is completely dry before watering again. It is easy to observe when the Jade Plant is stressed because the leaves can fall out yet grow back easily. They can generally grow in any environment with medium to high sun exposure.

If you want to avoid growing your Jade Plant too heavy, you can simply cut the stems at three to four inches long for propagation. But before this, you must first make sure that the mother plant is completely dry before cutting. Let the cutting rest in a dry, preferably warm, spot until a callus develops in about one to two weeks. Once the cut on the jade plant cutting has dried, place the cutting into a potting mixture made of half vermiculite or perlite and half soil. Vermiculite or perlite are small pebbles usually used to decorate succulents and are fairly easy to find in the country, so no worries about that. When rooting a jade plant, water sparingly so that the potting mixture is only damp until the jade plant cutting takes root. After it has rooted, you can treat it as you would a normal jade plant.

Non-Succulent Plants that are still easy to take care of

The plants listed in this section are low maintenance plants that need a little more maintenance compared to succulent plants.

Photos Plant or Devil’s Ivy (Epipremnum aureum)

The Photos is probably the most common non-succulent low maintenance plants, especially in tropical countries; so much so that you can even find them in the jungle while hiking in the Philippines because it is a tropical vine. They can practically grow anywhere in the tropics and are pest and disease free. They also thrive in neglect similar to the succulents mentioned above and are a good choice even for darker areas of the luxury condominium.

The great thing about the Photos is its versatility. It can be potted traditionally, hung as an aerial plant, or dangling as a vine. Moreover, it also doubles as an air purifier that you don’t have to stress about compared to other more demanding plants. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, so it is also sweet to gift this to friends and family members who want to start taking care of low maintenance plants as a hobby this holiday season. However, if they have pets in their luxury homes, make sure to keep the plant out of their reach because it can be poisonous when ingested.

To propagate, cut full grown stems six inches long just below a leaf node and place in water. Change the water every two to three weeks and roots will develop over a month or two. Once enough roots have grown, repot the plant in fresh soil.

Air Plants (Tillandsia spp.)

Air plants are the cute puff balls in the plant kingdom. They are great for space saving in luxury condominiums but are also a great addition when interior designing mansions in the Philippines. They can be fascinating because not only can they survive by just floating in the air without soil, but they can also have alien features given that there are hundreds of species and variations of the Air Plant. This is definitely for homeowners who want a more modern touch to their living space. So how do they grow in air? These low maintenance plants are actually epiphytes, meaning that in nature they grow on other plants, usually on tree branches. But they do well on their own and actually even flower.

A good tip when buying Air Plants is to buy the ones with silvery leaves. This is because the greener leaves tend to dry out faster and the silver ones tend to need much less water and maintenance. They love a humid environment and can freely grow in areas with frequent rains. In your luxury condominium, however, you will have to water them thoroughly every week or two. To do this, place them in the sink or a small jar with enough liquid to submerge your plants. Let them soak for about half an hour, then give them a gentle shake to get rid of some water before turning them upside down on a towel to let them drain. Once they are dry, return them to their designated spot. In particularly dry times, you can mist them with water every day in between soaks. In terms of light, they prefer well lit environments but never direct sun exposure. Remember that they thrive in humid conditions instead of dry ones.

From the Strategist: The Best Gifts for Beer Lovers, According to Brewers and Beer Writers

Photo: Tom Kelley Archive/Getty Images

Beer glasses, bottle openers, coolers, and more for your favorite beer drinker, from the Strategist

Finding the best gift for the beer lover in your life can be tricky, especially if you’re not a beer person. And though it might be tempting to give them one of those “funny” beer gifts, like a helmet with the two straws, you can do better than that. There are plenty of clever gift ideas for beer lovers that they’ll use and appreciate, and to make it easy for you to pick a beer gift they might actually want, we consulted a group of experts that included brewers and brewmasters, certified ciceroni, and beer writers to find the best gifts for beer lovers that have more staying power than a six-pack.

Gifts for beer drinkers

Yeti Hopper M30

Yeti coolers, which we’ve deemed the best coolers on the market, are beloved by pretty much anyone who uses them for their virtual indestructibility and the fact that they keep food and drinks (and ice!) cold for literal hours on end. Which is why we were not surprised when Jesse Ferguson, the founder and brewmaster at Interboro Spirits and Ales, told us this Yeti cooler would make an impressive gift for a beer lover who needs to keep their brews ice cold. “This is great for the traveling beer geek,” he says. “Fill it with cans and bottles and check it on your way home from your trip visiting new breweries.” The rugged soft-side cooler has a wide-mouth opening with ultrastrong magnets to keep it closed, as well as top handles, a shoulder strap, leak-proof liner, and a shell that’s resistant to mildew, punctures, and UV rays. It can hold up to 20 cans of beer or 28 pounds of ice.

BrüMate Hopsulator BOTT’L Stainless Steel Insulated Bottle Cooler

Strategist writer Dominique Pariso first turned us on to Brümate’s stainless-steel coozies when she wrote that they kept her slender White Claw ice cold, even on a hot summer day. Luckily for the beer drinker in your life, BrüMate’s Hopsulator coozie comes in a standard size that’ll keep their favorite 12-ounce bottles of IPA ice cold, too.

Yeti Rambler 16 Oz. Colster Tall Can Insulator

Since glass isn’t allowed on many beaches or in some state parks, your favorite beer lover is probably hauling cans all summer long. Mary Izett, co-owner of Fifth Hammer Brewing Company in Queens, New York, loves the Yeti Colster — a can insulator — for summertime imbibing. “They’re lightweight, durable, and keep your beer at the appropriate temperature on the hottest of days,” Izett says.

Spiegelau IPA Glass

“If you want to get some fancy glasses, Spiegelau has some really nice stuff specifically designed for specific styles,” David Zuskov, the brewer and lab manager at Almanac Beer Co. in Alameda, California, explains. “The IPA glass really makes a difference. I drank the same beer out of their glass and a pint glass, and you can taste so much more flavor from theirs.”

Spiegelau 4-Piece Craft Beer Tasting Kit

If you’re not sure what style of beer they enjoy the most, but still want to upgrade their glassware from novelty pint glasses, give them a Spiegelau four-piece tasting set, which comes with the IPA glass, a glass for stouts, and one for American wheat beer.

Proper Pour Beer Bottle Cap Holder Shadow Box

Bruntmor CAPMAGS Magnetic Beer Opener & Magnetic Cap Catcher

“One year for Christmas, my mom gave me one of those ‘Save Water, Drink Beer’ shadow boxes that you fill with your used bottle caps. She also gave me a wall-mounted bottle opener built from a melted Toasted Lager bottle. It was the perfect combo,” says Dan Jansen, director of supply at Anheuser-Busch’s Brewers Collective. “The challenge became filling the shadowbox by the next Christmas, and I definitely rose to it.” While these aren’t the same shadow box and bottle opener Jansen has, they’re just as compelling to get your beer-loving buddy to get busy (responsibly) filling up that box.

FS Objects Hand 2 Bottle Opener

Speaking of bottle openers, according to Julia Herz, the publisher of CraftBeer.com and craft-beer program director at the Brewers Association, you can’t go wrong with giving a beer lover a solid bottle opener. “A kick-ass bottle opener needs to feel sturdy and work well. It’s a catalyst for each glee-filled moment you open a beer. It needs to be special enough for it to gain more and more meaning and purpose with each use.” We think this one from FS Objects, which is handmade from solid brass, definitely has that “special enough” quality she’s talking about.

Hay Bottle Opener

For a still stylish but less expensive option, try this durable, zinc-alloy bottle opener from Hay (one of the Strategist’s go-to home-goods brands).

iggy Camouflage-Jacquard Webbing Belt

Or, for the beer drinker who prefers to wear his gear, this belt with a built-in bottle opener behind its buckle is sure to delight. It came recommended by our Resident Cool Guy Chris Black, who says the belt has that “I played a side stage at Lollapalooza in 1993” energy.

Pint-Sized Brewing Kit

You’ve heard of the one-gallon brewing kit, but if you’re pressed for space, Brooklyn-based beer supply shop Bitter & Esters sells a pint-size home-brewing kit. It includes a quart Mason jar, green fermentation lid, 16-ounce swing-top bottle, and everything else you need to make a literal pint of beer. “This is a clever, compact, and fun way to get a taste of home brewing before committing to a larger setup,” says Izett, plus it would also make a great gag gift for any amateur home-brewing expert you know.

A di Alessi Anna G. Corkscrew

The lambic beer drinker in your life, though, will need a corkscrew to get to the good stuff. (Bottles of lambic are corked, not capped, and we talk more about this unique type of Belgian beer below.) For them, consider this cheerful one from iconic Italian design company Alessi that Black also recommends. Her name is Anna G. and she was designed by Alessandro Mendini in 1994.

Kaufmann Mercantile Handmade Ceramic Growler With Loop

Herz says the best gifts she has ever received are “two swing-top milk jugs housed in a wooden box with a leather handle. They can be used as baby beer growlers and filled up at my local brewery.” This handmade ceramic growler is similar to the one she uses.

Hydro Flask 64oz Growler

We also love this vacuum-insulated growler from Hydro Flask. It would make a perfect companion to the Yeti cooler on your beer-loving friend’s next camping trip.

GrowlerWerks Copper uKeg Carbonated Growler, 64 oz

If you really want to wow your cold-one swigging loved one, try this snazzy stainless-steel growler that doubles as a tap and also features a pressure gauge and a carbonation cap that “automatically regulates pressure to optimally carbonate beer,” according to the product description.

CraftHouse101 750mL Lambic Basket

The best gift that Jim Raras Jr., the executive vice-president of Mikkeller NYC, ever received is a lambic basket. Lambic is a specific style of beer from Belgium, considered special because it’s fermented with native yeast in the bottle. (That’s also known as bottle-conditioned beer.) But the yeast means that it’s a finicky type of beer to serve, and you want pour it and store it at a tilt so that you don’t get sediment in your glass while drinking. That’s where the lambic basket comes in, and it’s a great gift for Belgian-beer nerds. “The one I received was from a wonderful friend, for my birthday; he got it from brasserie Cantillon — that was very special to me. A properly clear pour of a bottle-conditioned beer is such a delight and really showcases the beer; this helps a ton if you’re not pouring the entire bottle at once.” This handmade one is made from dyed seagrass and rattan.

Kouboo Wine Bottle Basket and Decanter in Rattan-Nito, Brown

This all-rattan lambic basket is also handsome, though slightly less expensive. It can also be used for wine, which is great for a split household.

Beer Across America Monthly Beer Club Subscription

Probably the best gift you could give someone who loves beer is, well, beer. To that end, Nikki McCutcheon, the beverage director at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge at the Moxy Times Square hotel, recommends gifting a subscription to a “beer of the month” club from Beer Across America, which, according to her, “offers a customizable monthly subscription of beer samples from all over the country your beer lover is sure to enjoy.” Each month, for however long you choose, Beer Across America delivers four varieties of award-winning beer from two independent craft breweries that have been curated by a panel of experts. If your beer enthusiast can’t hit the road discovering new brews on their own, this subscription is their best bet.

Gifts for beer makers

Maestro Homebrew Beer Equipment Kit with Auto Siphon

“If the person is a novice home brewer, you can get them a basic setup kit,” says Zuskov, the brewer and lab manager at Almanac. He likes the home-brew starter kit from MoreBeer, an East Bay-based company, but this one from Amazon has all of the same equipment.

Glass Carboy (3 Gallon)

“If the person is more advanced, maybe upgrade one of their pieces of equipment,” advises Zuskov. “If they’re using a plastic bucket to ferment, maybe buy them a glass carboy.” And whether you’re buying home-brew equipment for a new or experienced brewer, consider also getting them grain, malt, and hops. “You could always buy the ingredients for the brew and then that way you could go and brew the beer with them.”

Kegco 24” Wide Triple Tap Stainless Steel Kegerator

For the serious beer lover or home brewer, Mulligan recommends a Kegerator — that is, a fridge for a keg. While definitely pricey, “a Kegerator is a great way to spruce up a home-bar setup for your beer collector,” she says. She likes this 24-inch model from Kegco that can accommodate a full-size keg (even commercial ones from the likes of Coors and Miller); a half or quarter-size barrel; or three narrower home-brew kegs. It also comes with three taps and caster wheels for easy mobility, and can be converted into a regular refrigerator by adding the two included shelves. “If your beer lover is also a home-brewing geek, choose hookups for a Corny (Cornelius) keg,” adds Mulligan. Andrew McNally, the founder and brewmaster at Common Bond Brewers — Montgomery, Alabama’s only production brewery — agrees that “a kegerator makes a great gift,” adding, “You get to serve draft like the pros in the comfort of your very own (wo)man cave.”

Gifts for beer geeks

The Oxford Companion to Beer

“In terms of giving a beer-related gift, I would have to say that the Oxford Companion to Beer is a great option,” says Zach Mack, beer writer and owner of Alphabet City Beer Co. and Governors Island Beer Co. “It’s perfect for someone who already knows a little bit about beer and wants to learn more, but doesn’t want to dive into the insanely overcrowded realm of beer books. It’s a very concise and tightly written encyclopedic record for beer that’s remarkably approachable given its depth. And even if they don’t end up using it every time they crack a beer, it looks nice on a bookshelf or coffee table.”

The Brewmaster’s Table: Discovering the Pleasures of Real Beer With Real Food

The author of the Oxford Companion, Garrett Oliver, is the brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery and the 2014 winner of the James Beard Award for Excellent Wine, Beer or Spirits Professional. His first book, The Brewmaster’s Table: Discovering the Pleasures of Real Beer With Real Food, is also a good read for someone who knows they like drinking beer, but doesn’t know much about the history or even different styles of brewing.

Tasting Beer, 2nd Edition: An Insider’s Guide to the World’s Greatest Drink

“I can’t recommend Randy Mosher’s Tasting Beer enough for anyone who wants to develop and refine their palate and develop a better understanding of the sensory components of the beer they’re drinking,” says Izett. “Honestly, if you drink beer, you need this book.”

The Complete Beer Course: Boot Camp for Beer Geeks: From Novice to Expert in Twelve Tasting Classes

“It’s impossible for me to overlook how instrumental Josh Bernstein’s The Complete Beer Course was in motivating me to dig deeper into the infinite world of beer,” says Blake Tomnitz, co-founder and CEO of Five Boroughs Brewing Co. “Not to mention, it helped solidify my desire to work in the beer industry. For someone who loves beer, it hits all the right notes.”

“The New World Guide to Beer” by Michael Jackson

“Michael Jackson’s Beer Companion: The World’s Great Beer Styles, Gastronomy, and Traditions” by Michael Jackson

These books by the late English beer critic and author Michael Jackson (a.k.a. the Beer Hunter) — who is credited for kickstarting the North American microbrewery movement in the 1970s — are deep cuts for those who know. Mulligan told us they are some of her favorite beer gifts to give. “Both books are approachable for first-timers and don’t talk down to the amateur consumer,” she says. If your recipient prefers to crack open a beer instead of a book, Mulligan adds that these are just as good for displaying on a coffee table as they are for reading. While they’re out of print, you can still buy used copies Amazon at relatively low prices.

Beer glasses, bottle openers, coolers, and more for your favorite beer drinker, from the Strategist

Finding the best gift for the beer lover in your life can be tricky, especially if you’re not a beer person. And though it might be tempting to give them one of those “funny” beer gifts, like a helmet with the two straws, you can do better than that. There are plenty of clever gift ideas for beer lovers that they’ll use and appreciate, and to make it easy for you to pick a beer gift they might actually want, we consulted a group of experts that included brewers and brewmasters, certified ciceroni, and beer writers to find the best gifts for beer lovers that have more staying power than a six-pack.

Gifts for beer drinkers

Yeti Hopper M30

Yeti coolers, which we’ve deemed the best coolers on the market, are beloved by pretty much anyone who uses them for their virtual indestructibility and the fact that they keep food and drinks (and ice!) cold for literal hours on end. Which is why we were not surprised when Jesse Ferguson, the founder and brewmaster at Interboro Spirits and Ales, told us this Yeti cooler would make an impressive gift for a beer lover who needs to keep their brews ice cold. “This is great for the traveling beer geek,” he says. “Fill it with cans and bottles and check it on your way home from your trip visiting new breweries.” The rugged soft-side cooler has a wide-mouth opening with ultrastrong magnets to keep it closed, as well as top handles, a shoulder strap, leak-proof liner, and a shell that’s resistant to mildew, punctures, and UV rays. It can hold up to 20 cans of beer or 28 pounds of ice.

BrüMate Hopsulator BOTT’L Stainless Steel Insulated Bottle Cooler

Strategist writer Dominique Pariso first turned us on to Brümate’s stainless-steel coozies when she wrote that they kept her slender White Claw ice cold, even on a hot summer day. Luckily for the beer drinker in your life, BrüMate’s Hopsulator coozie comes in a standard size that’ll keep their favorite 12-ounce bottles of IPA ice cold, too.

Yeti Rambler 16 Oz. Colster Tall Can Insulator

Since glass isn’t allowed on many beaches or in some state parks, your favorite beer lover is probably hauling cans all summer long. Mary Izett, co-owner of Fifth Hammer Brewing Company in Queens, New York, loves the Yeti Colster — a can insulator — for summertime imbibing. “They’re lightweight, durable, and keep your beer at the appropriate temperature on the hottest of days,” Izett says.

Spiegelau IPA Glass

“If you want to get some fancy glasses, Spiegelau has some really nice stuff specifically designed for specific styles,” David Zuskov, the brewer and lab manager at Almanac Beer Co. in Alameda, California, explains. “The IPA glass really makes a difference. I drank the same beer out of their glass and a pint glass, and you can taste so much more flavor from theirs.”

Spiegelau 4-Piece Craft Beer Tasting Kit

If you’re not sure what style of beer they enjoy the most, but still want to upgrade their glassware from novelty pint glasses, give them a Spiegelau four-piece tasting set, which comes with the IPA glass, a glass for stouts, and one for American wheat beer.

Proper Pour Beer Bottle Cap Holder Shadow Box

Bruntmor CAPMAGS Magnetic Beer Opener & Magnetic Cap Catcher

“One year for Christmas, my mom gave me one of those ‘Save Water, Drink Beer’ shadow boxes that you fill with your used bottle caps.

For a still stylish but less expensive option, try this durable, zinc-alloy bottle opener from Hay (one of the Strategist’s go-to home-goods brands).

Or, for the beer drinker who prefers to wear his gear, this belt with a built-in bottle opener behind its buckle is sure to delight. It came recommended by our Resident Cool Guy Chris Black, who says the belt has that “I played a side stage at Lollapalooza in 1993” energy.
