BeerBooks.com is offering a “We Want Beer” Gift Capsule.

In 1931, workers in Newark, New Jersey - fed up with National Prohibition - marched through the streets of their city demanding the return of legal beer. The event symbolized an important turning point as Americans everywhere began to rise up against the unpopular law.

The capsule an 11×14 photographic print of the New Jersey march, a BeerBooks.com Gift Card in the amount of your choice, and your personalized message to the recipient.

The clear plastic capsule is 12″ tall and topped with a red cap and a holiday bow.

Too bad that legal challenges would make this next-to-impossible in the United States, but if you are in the UK or just interested in a cool idea, check out this press release:

On http://www.BrandedBeer.com anyone can upload a photo and add a message to the front and back of beer labels.

The site’s unique online designer lets you see exactly what the bottle will look like before you buy it.

The business has been set up from a base in Scotland by two 25-year-old entrepreneurs – web expert Stuart Ebdy and brewery owner James Watt.

Stuart said: “Men are hard to buy for. You want to get them something they want, but you want to make it a bit special too. That’s how we came up with the idea of http://www.BrandedBeer.com.

“Beer with your own photo and a personal message is the kind of gift we’d like to get!”

When you order the beer online at http://www.BrandedBeer.com, you design and see exactly what your label will look like in a 3D visualisation on screen.

You can upload your own photo, choose a background theme, and add a personalised message to the front and back labels.

The beer in the bottle is from BrewDog, a new Scottish micro that’s already winning awards and great reviews.

The only consolation for us on this side of the Atlantic is that we’ll soon be able to buy the BrewDog beers (which the regular labels) in the U.S.
