Over on Hail the Ale!, they’ve got a couple of beer gift guide posts for the holidays, all helpfully available on Amazon.com. Good idea—I’ll add a few book suggestions:

• Extreme Brewing, by Sam Calagione (of Dogfish Head)
• Ambitious Brew (Amazon link), by Maureen Ogle
• Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers, by Stephen Harrod Buhner
• Beer in America: The Early Years, by Gregg Smith
• Homebrewing, Volume 1, by Al Korzonas

And then of course, a Beer of the Month membership is always a good gift, too. Or, order beer directly from an online store such as Liquid Solutions.

Don’t forget to check out the BeerAdvocate Store, and Realbeer.com’s Retail guide.

And finally, for the beer geek in your life, you can order up several geek-themed items from the online store ThinkGeek.
