We hope you received everything you wanted this season.

Enjoy the rest of the holidays, including some great beers during the next week.

See you in November of 2013.

Pretty sure no brewery is giving away anything like Pretentious Beer Glasses on pint night. The one on the left will set you back $35.

There are so many beer glass options these days we’re not inclined to endorse a single one. You can read a review of the Pretentious line from Jay Brooks or at The New School.

You can usually find interesting glassware — often branded, but that’s part of the fun — at stores that sell the sort of beer we talk about here.

And now we’re going to break the “no endorsement” rule for New Belgium’s “Glass That Gives” promotion, because you might call it a present that gives twice.

The Rocky Mountain Barrel Company in Colorado sells wine barrels that may be used in many ways — for instance, for barrel-aged beers, or even for . . . winemaking.

In addition the barrels themselves, the company offers items crafted from barrels and staves. For instance, the wine barrel sink pictured here, both small and large benches, and a bourbon barrel stave coat rack that should probably come with a sign that says, “Do not lick.”

Last year The Rare Beer Club impressed Fast Company magazine so much they featured the club in their December/January issue, stating: “Offering beer as a token of holiday goodwill can be tricky. It’s gauche to put a six-pack under the tree, and nothing says ‘I forgot’ like a brown bag with a ribbon around its neck.” This year Esquire Magazine sings the The Rare Beer Club’s praises in their December issue.

How does it work? Each month, members receive two different 750 ml selections, many of which are corked and caged, and Gift Memberships available from 2-12 months to fit any budget. And the club is offering Real Beer readers $10 off an order of any term. It really is a gift that just keeps on giving.
